How are women "oppressed" by men?

<p>blair I give you credit because you’re the only feminist to acknowledge that a topic like this is objectively unanswerable and that the arguments of both sides are based on nothing but random assortments of opinions, anecdotes, and semi-related facts that don’t actually prove anything. Plus you’ve been polite enough to refrain from insulting me unlike ego and and jamiecakes.</p>

<p>Really if the people on here would just admit that this question is unanswerable i’d be satisfied never to make another reply.</p>

<p>But of course, my **Opinion<a href=“and%20that’s%20all%20it%20will%20ever%20be;%20just%20like%20everyone%20else’s”>/b</a> is that actual measurable, objective oppression ended when the laws were changed granting women all the same rights and legal opportunities as men.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, men are still required to register for the selective service…</p>

<p>teeee heeeee</p>

<p>I think debates are better in person, because then people are not really compelled to insult each other–too much fear in doing so.</p>

<p>depends on the audience</p>

<p>“By defining any harm done to them by men as something greater than the same harm done to other men, you are putting women on a level ANOVE men. That makes you a female supremacist (which seems to be how modern day “feminism” is practiced), and ironically, a sexist.”</p>

<p>men don’t beat women because they hate all women, but fewer men have to worry about spousal abuse</p>

</p>

<p>So what? That doesn’t make it sexist.</p>

<p>Fewer women have to worry about being the victim of violent crime. Doesn’t mean all violent crime is committed for sexist reasons.</p>

<p>Do you actually have an argument?</p>

587

<p>

Agreed. Then you can just resort to violence. ^_^</p>

<p>By the way, someone asked about the article stating that in not so few cases among the younger population women earns more than men:
[For</a> Young Earners in Big City, a Gap in Women’s Favor - New York Times](<a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/03/nyregion/03women.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5088&en=8941c5442f49a9a4&ex=1343793600&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss|For]For”>http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/03/nyregion/03women.html?pagewanted=1&ei=5088&en=8941c5442f49a9a4&ex=1343793600&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss|For)</p>

<p>This entire thread is ridiculous. Even if women are oppressed, an even remotely reasonable argument is no where to be found in this thread.</p>

<p>Next thing you know someone’s going to say that the fact that women carry the baby during pregnancy makes our society sexist.</p>

<p>

No, that is proof that god is sexist.</p>

<p>My career advisor told us that the mean reason why women earn less is because they’re less confrontational, and therefore less likely to ask for an increase in salaries. </p>

<p>People don’t pay you because they like giving away money. They pay you to keep you working. If you’re willing to work for less then they’ll pay less.</p>

<p>

Only if it’s against women. Men don’t ever get hit because they’re larger, more aggressive, and make more money. Women deserve to get hit since they have vaginas. If we had a battle between the sexes, the men would just beat the women to death. </p>

<p>[/sarcasm. Except for the last sentence lol]</p>

<p>I wish more offices/workplaces had daycares where parents could drop their kids off and still see them a couple times a day. Fewer women would quit their jobs to stay at home and take care of kids then, like my mom did even though she loved her job. The thing is, the early childhood years are so important and most women prefer taking care of their own kids as opposed to strangers caring for them all day long. I’ll probably quit work until the kid is at least 3 or 4 and in preK.</p>
