Literally a chart showed South Korea which requires male service but not female etc. no one is gonna go with women complaining about rights when a dude can be forced to go die but she is exempt. Complaine when you face the same issues . Same can be said about selective service here but it’s not actually used unlike Korea
Forcing men into millitary service is in no way a progressive law. It’s in fact the exact opposite of progressive. And form of forced labor or military service is antithetical to the ideals of liberty and egalitarianism. No “progressive” would ever support such a law. It’s the conservatives who believe only men are fit to serve their country. It’s the conservatives who support drafts and conscription. You’ve got this entire thing completely backwards. Misogyny infantilizes women, and sees them as unfit to be in the military because they are too weak and delicate and must be protected, therefore excluding them from service is actually anti-feminist. Not everything that seems to benefit women is progressive of feminist. That’s a very backwards way to think of things.
Except this isn’t the true definition of progressive this is the media’s interpretation which is just “whatever I support “ and there are woman who oppose true equal rights they only want ones that benefit them and not the same hardships men face. I have no problem with TRUE equality
If you have no problem with true equality, then you are a progressive. I am a progressive. I am a feminist lesbian going to art school, I am the caricature of what a “man hating liberal SJW” looks like, and yet, the brand of progressivism that I hold, that my peers hold, seeks true egalitarianism. I am not your straw man. I think critically about the beliefs I hold. I have come to the conclusion that the pursuit of egalitarianism is the best ideal you can have, and that is what true progressivism is about. The “man hating liberal SJW” version of progressivism not the version that me and my peers aspire to.
Except we’ve exceeded equality it’s literally becoming a matriarchy very slowly and it’s fucked up. True equality not whatever’s most convenient
Give me an example of us becoming a matriarchy, bc I don’t see it. Having equal rights means having equal rights, feminists aren’t trying to become the new patriarchy, we want to get rid of it.
Job acceptance for diversity basically singles out certain jobs against white men irs the definition of discrimination. Affirmative action was necessary at first sale with aid programs for free education but now being stunted by discrimination but it’s no lobeer truly relevant
Until the demographics affirmative action seems to benefit have equal outcomes to privileged demographics, affirmative action remains necessary.
No one is provenance’s there are equal rights affirmative action gives minorities provelage over white males and that’s just a proven fact hell a Disney exec recently got caught saying he wouldn’t hire a white man
That’s not what happened, I encourage you to watch the entire video instead of reading the headline. You will notice, the person who said it, was themselves a white male. If white men can’t be hired, how do you think he got that job? Like, just think for a second. In order for white men to truly be disadvantaged, their prospects must be more limited than those that affirmative action seeks to help, but that’s not the case at all at this point in time. Honestly, everyone’s prospects are getting dimmed these days due to the decay in our late capitalist system, but I will admit men are feeling it most acutely bc they had the most prospects for the longest time, so the reduction in certain markets feels especially bad for them. So men might be disadvantaged in comparison to where they previously were, but they are not disadvantaged when it comes to the general population.
It doesn’t matter anyone discriminating is discrimination that’s like saying black peopke can’t be racist to black people yet we’ve watched black cops target black people before. It can and does happen our society is shit rn
