in regards to dogfood's post

no

men and women are not equally discriminated and you're kidding yourself if you think that equal treatment of women has been reached over the last few years. women are statistically paid significantly less than men (see http://www.catalyst.org/knowledge/womens...and-income) and are often times have a harder time getting employed for the simple fact that they're female. they're still fighting for the right to be able to have control of their own bodies (see the fact that we're still having debates over whether or not abortions should be legal in fucking 2013). they still get shamed for the way they dress and how sexual active they are (see any dumbass highschooler complaining about "omg all the slutz" at their school), and yet pretty much any fashion magazine will tell you that to be considered beautiful and have self worth you have to present yourself in an over sexualized manor. even in the cases you were presenting when guys were given the shit end of the stick it was because people thought that the girl was too weak or incapable of handling rejection, which is kind of one of the key elements of why feminism even exists in the first place.

almost all of this isn't a conscious effort or some sort of ~male agenda~ or anything stupid like that it's just so indoctrinated into our society and is considered so socially accepted that most people don't question it, which is exactly why feminism still exists. it's to bring attention to said injustices and tries to educate people on them so they don't inadvertently take part in them.

this isn't even coming from a hardcore feminist or anything either lol, i disagree with a large amount of what they believe in but this sorta stuff is just common sense
