I get so bored when people (men) say this. The problem women face today beyond the law (which is still problematic), is ideology.
Yes, legally you cant force your wife to stay at home and quit her job but you can teach your daughter that the most honorable thing to do is to be a patient mother that keeps her family and husband happy. You cant burry your daughter alive anymore because thats illegal but you can smash in a wall during her gender reveal party because she is a girl. You cant marry female children anymore but you can jerk off to barely legal porn online and talk about it publically because thats healthy expression of sexuality. You cant punch a woman in the face during a fight but you can get back at her in bed. You cant assault your crush just because you want to sleep with them but you can buy a prostitute for the night. You cant hit or yell at your children for crying but you can tell your son that he is pathetic because he is acting like a girl. You cant deny women medical care but you can tell them that the disturbing pain is completely normal. You cant stop women from voting but you can show them the research that shows they are more emotional and let them draw the conclusion that they are therefore less rational.
Name more examples if you have them!
The existence of the belief that women are less than is backed up by countless female experiences. Every woman on earth can experience misogyny regardless of her status, wealth, beauty, strength, popularity or anything else. Its inescapable.
What's worse is that they do the stuff they "can't do" anyway. I don't take seriously anyone who says we don't need feminism. The world is ruled by men who benefit from the absence of feminism, that says enough.
There are only ten US states where child marriage is banned. And the overturning of Roe vs Wade means that rapists can choose the mother of thir children and force her to share custody with him. In some states, a woman's rapist can prevent her from giving a child up for adoption, even if he is in prison. In others, pregnant women cannot divorce, so a husband only needs to impregnate his wife to keep her imprisoned in an abusive marriage. Not to mention that red states are looking for ways to use human trafficking laws to prevent the travel of pregnant underage girls over state lines.
We are closer to livestock under US law than we are to human beings
It's even worse when women say this. I mean, I'm very happy for you that you're apparently so special and up on so high a pedestal that you've never had any of the male bullshit that the rest of us have been dealing with all our lives rained down upon you, but your experience is far from universal.
How are men and women equal in law? Around the world there are laws preventing girls from going to school. There are places where schools are allowed to discriminate against female applicants either because they want to maintain male dominance or because they want to extinguish female excellence.
There are palces where the governments condone honor killings of raped women and girls, and places where the government condones corrective rape of lesbian women.
And if youre a woman in the US who says any of this, moids come back with "I dont believe you really care about women in other countries". As if my feelings are on trial here. The fact is, women and men arent equal in law, and a feminist in any country wont be satisfied until all women are free of male oppression.
Reading your examples made my blood boil, because I've experienced a few of them in my life over and over and over.
I am so angry I can't think of any more examples to add to your list right now.
Don't waste your time even thinking about these morons.
Feminism is still needed in the household.
One time (this was shortly after the news about uber and lyft sexual assaults were going through the news) I was walking home from a bar after my (now ex) friend ditched me for a guy. There was a police car on the street I was walking down so I thought it would be safe, when I got up to where he was parked, he drove away. As soon as he would’ve seen me, he drove away! What is the point of having white male police officers. White men don’t need protection. Maybe there needs to be a separate woman’s police force, since the current police force seems to exclude women, both as employees and as customers. Why are we, as taxpayers, paying for a service that refuses to serve us?!
