Africans?
LOL
Lets talk about civilized people that know better. Our customs go back 100's or 1000's years and that is why blacks still have a stigma against gays. Ask the Illinois Black Caucus and their ban on gay marriage and why Obama had to promise them something to pass it. Of course he reneged on it.
Epic fail on your part. I want WHITE participation as you can't count my race as a verification.
First off i cant stop laughing at a black man ****ting all over Africans. From my own experience the Africans I have met here in the US were so much nicer than the average American black person. I will get what you eant though, I got sidetracked by someone calling me a Hillary supporter on reddit.
Since I already know how you will respond to that video here are Christian parents disowning and then beating their son for being gay.
And just for fun
I should have been a televangelist. Its apparently legal to defraud stupid people for money so long as you pretend its about religion.

It's **** like this that got Trump elected. The white male with lack of empathy.
Women want to keep the rights they have. Sure abortion is one. Access to birth control is another. Representation in higher levels of society (aka breaking the glass ceiling) But they're also marching for rights of others. LGTBQ community, Indigenous people, minorities,
And even if they're protesting just for abortion, is that any different than the Tea Party protests, which were protesting taxation, which Obama didn't raise for the overwhelming majority of Americans and who's protests seemed to mainly be protesting against the blackness of our president with a muslim sounding name.

This country is so confusing; I can't keep up with all the marches.

Why does this matter to you? Why does recognition matter to you? It's easier for a someone in the majority to relenquish power or fight for rights of others than for minorities. The reason you hear about black people in civil rights more than white people is because they had more to lose. How many white people were killed, or arrested on bogus charges? I'm guessing the answer is small. That's not to downplay the role men had in women's rights, but it's also not to say it matters that we know and acknowledge who they are.
Largely true, but improved rights don't mean equal rights or that the struggle is over.
The reason women didn't have the rights afforded to men was because of them being viewed as not equals. To this day they aren't viewed as equals, just the gap is narrowing. You're right that it's societal issues that need to be overcome.
This one is pretty silly. And I won't really matter because your argument as are others is an effective strawman. I can point to women making more, or less, and it would be just that a strawman. You're right, experience does matter, but realize that we live in a society that's still largely patriarchal and it's really ****ing hard for a woman to have a career and a family, but really easy for a man because of what's been set up.
I agree here. But the vagueness of your wording would lead to a ell of a legal quagmire.
If a woman rapes a man and the man presses charges I'm pretty sure he vacates any responsibility for the upbringing of the child. Though that could vary state by state. There is an issue with custody, because of the patriarchal status of our nation and the belief that a man can't be motherly and nurturing. There are issues with BC, but realize, it's still on the man. Just cause she says she's on BC doesn't mean you have to bust in her. I mean STI alone is enough reason to wrap it up. And if it's someoen you're in a long term committed relationship with, you should know their habits. Sure there are women and men who can change on a dime and decide to so it but that's not the norm. A man who busts inside a woman he doesn't know or barely knows deserves to pay child support as a stupid tax.
Everyone is judged on their looks, but women are typically valued on their looks. Men are as well, it's much easier to get a job and a better paying job as an attractive male/woman regardless of qualifications, it's been more or less proven there's a bias towards physical attraction. Most men wouldn't love getting cat called. I'm sorry but aside from the really vain men, they wouldn't. And there are women who like being catcalled. But, because some people like it, doesn't make it acceptable.
There aren't many men's shelters out there because men aren't abused as often as women. I do agree that females who abuse males should be stigmatized in a way that they aren't.Typically it's done in a less physical way and a more emotional way. The last sentence is garbage.
I would 100% disagree. While gay men are probably more stigmatized than lesbians in the male community, I don't see men going around and defending the rights of lesbians though. Men fantasize about the hot or even better lipstick lesbian, but the butch or the overweight lesbian won't get a look. Not to mention the issue of lesbians being hit on. I know few women whov'e hit on a gay man and said they weren't gay or continued to hit on them. I know way more men who have. One of my friends was harassed by a dude so bad that we had to leave the bar we were in or the guy was gonna assault her in some way.
Nope. Literally jsut last year a "boy" raped a woman and didn't get any jail time or registered as a sex offender. The "boys will be boys" mentality is still going strong in the country.
Well, this wasn't a fully hashed out thought, I do them all the time so I won't pick on you. The issue isn't telling if someone is pretty. it's basing their value on that. I've been guilty of it before. Lusting after someone only to find out they're just the worst. Not even intelligence related or anything, just that they don't even remotely mesh with me.
Maternity leave is something that should be provided by the government as a form of assistance. IIRC FMLA already basically lock themselves in to not losing their job. So the company wouldn't have to provide benefits and you get a set amount of money per week you don't work for up to 3 months. As far as multiple kids, that doesn't really matter to me. You're right some people get pregnant to gain benefits, but they're not doing themselves any real favors. On the flipside I had a friend who had an abortion because she had really bad judgement. She debated having the kid for those benefits and didn't because of the responsibility, the added costs, etc.
Add in as well the "value" aspect. A single mother has much less value in the dating game than a single woman without kids. There are tons of drawbacks that really aren't overwhelmingly or even partially overcome by the advantages afforded by the government.
It is common sense. but protection doesn't stop predators. It only can help you stand a chance of survival.
That's just silly. Vegas has brothels but rape still occurs there. Rape isn't about the availability of getting your rocks off. It's about power. Rapists are ****ty people who you almost certainly won't be able to stop from raping. Rapists are scum and should be locked away. And yes I consider women who falsely accuse (not falsely identify mind you, that's usually due to ****ty police work) someone of raping them should be penalized as well.
Men make up the majority of workplace deaths because they're drawn to professiosn that are riskier. The valuation of employment is the issue with thewage gap. As someone said (sturg?) a healthy chunk of the wage gap is because women go into fields like education and men go into engineering, well who's to say that education shouldn't be more important and teachers shouldn't be paid much more?
This is just silly and chippy
We all don't have the same rights though. That's the issue. Don't get me wrong, you're right that men are disadvantaged in some ways and they should fight for those rights as well. But women are often flat out told they can't do things, men rarely are. It's a societal issue that needs to be fixed.

Tea Party says Hi. Also didn't Beck organize some kind of Rally against Obama's blackness?
And if you have a right you feel like you're losing, march for it.
If Hillary was elected a lot of straight white males would be marching. All you need to know that is realize that MRA exists.

You're so diluted it makes me feel bad. Listen to the man's longtime advisor Roger Stone
"If there’s voter fraud, this election will be illegitimate, the election of the winner will be illegitimate, we will have a constitutional crisis, widespread civil disobedience, and the government will no longer be the government," Stone said. He also promised a "bloodbath" if the Democrats attempt to "steal" the election.

The authors found that workers in riskier occupations, while less educated than those in safe occupations, were paid relatively well. After controlling for education and other demographics, workers in risky occupations made $5,000 more per year compared with workers with similar education and demographic characteristics.

That's one link off the St Louis Fed (which is trying to answer a different question but so be it). I'd be interested in seeing the economic literature that suggests what you're arguing, that riskier jobs don't pay more, all things being equal.
