I've got some news for you. That "70%" statistic (and every incarnation thereof; 50/100, 80/100, etc etc depending on which feminist you talk to and just how zany and fanatic she is) has been in circulation since the late 70's/early 80's. Isn't it strange how it hasn't changed in over 30 years? And isn't it strange how there's no actual real data on it; no government studies or census statistics on it, no actual official anything... just a random number that gets floated about feminist echo-chambers and cited ad nasaeum in "gender studies" classes? No, it's actually not strange, because the statistic was bullshit then, has continued to be bullshit for 30 years, and is still bullshit now. The adjusted wage gap (ie, when you take into account relevant things such as field worked in, amount of hours worked, level of education achieved, willingness to work overtime, willingness to work while sick, willingness to put family second, etc etc) is something like 5 cents. And in some situations (ie, part time labor), women earn more than men. For example, in many cities across the US, single, childless women in their 20's earn 10% more than single, childless men in their 20's.



Confirming that women have it so bad that they can't even walk home at night without some random person blaming them for ****.



Wait, are you talking about how 75% of the victims of violent crime are men? Is that what you mean by women needing extra protection such as VAWA... because they are targeted for crime....?



Did you ever notice how the male aspects also tend to be... stereotypical ones? But nobody's eyes are leaking over that one.

Teenage girls suffer far worse with body issues than teenage boys. Anorexia , bulimia the list goes on. Don't try and tell me these things affect men just as much as they do women because they do not.

The incidence of anorexia and bulimia amongst teenaged boys is indeed rising. Males also commit suicide at much higher rates than females do. The average suicide ratio between men:women is 4:1, but at some points in the life span it can be as high as 10:1 (senior years) and 6:1 (during the teenage years). In fact, being male is an independent risk factor for suicide throughout the entire lifespan, starting at puberty. However, the "suicide gap" gets much less attention than the "anorexia gap"... anorexia being responsible for 150 female deaths per year, and suicide being responsible for over 30,000 male deaths per year.

It's relevant to all the dudes in here crying about how muscle men threaten their body image.

Posting to confirm that high heels in video games give women "body image issues".

Good find.

Incidentally, I hate my browser.

@Isabel Midnight and all of her alts. Please answer the following question. Your refusal to answer this on the third attempt will prove to all and sundry that you are well aware that your arguments are illogical, your definition of misogyny is flawed and your thread is pure troll.

"Ok, just for intellectual curiosity lets, hypothetically, say that your definition of misogyny is correct (which in reality it isn't).

I am offended by your insults. I find them offensive to my race and gender. By your own definition that makes you a racist and a misandrist because whether you intend it or not that is the way I'm interpreting your words.

So, do you accept that you're a misandrist and a racist?"

Are you refusing to answer my previous question?

You're being absurd. It either works both ways or not at all.

You're either a bigot or misogyny requires intent.

I'm reporting this thread now because it's become obvious that you're just trolling.

It doesn't work both ways because misogyny is a symptom of an societal imbalance. Imbalances don't work both ways, that's the entire point.
