It always gets me when MRAs bring up the draft as an example of discrimination against men. Yes, it’s true that no woman in America has ever been subject to conscription in times of war; however, being that the most recent draft was in 1973, most likely neither have you. If you get to drag up stuff that happened before you were born, so does everybody else – and I’m pretty sure the ladies are going to win that particular game of misery poker.
BAM.
Also, considering the draft was voted into law by Congress in 1940 but the first woman was elected to Congress in 1973, men only have themselves to blame. We didn’t decide the rules of the draft. They did.
welp
Actually, the first woman was elected to Congress in 1916 and was in office in 1940. Her name was Jeanette Rankin.
She was also a lifelong pacifist. She opposed every declaration of war bll that crossed her desk, and her vote was the only one against the proposal to go to war with Japan, because “As a woman I can’t go to war, and I refuse to send anyone else.”
The men in Congress demanded she changed her vote and she refused. She was attacked by an angry mob and maligned in the press.
BAM.
Men will blame Women for the draft but refuse to admit it was men who voted for the draft.
1. There are plenty of female MRAs. Feminists ignore them because they’re inconvenient.
2. MRAs don’t care whether men or women responsible, they just want to end it. It’s feminism which divides things into Oppressor/Oppressed binaries, and has spent almost it’s entire existence ignoring the draft, which is clearly an example of gender inequality.
3. It’s manifestly hypocritical for OP to go “MRAs have never been drafted!” when feminists regularly claim women are victims now because certain women were screwed over by things which happened centuries ago. OP is clearly a hypocrite.
“Also, considering the draft was voted into law by Congress in 1940 but the first woman was elected to Congress in 1973, men only have themselves to blame. We didn’t decide the rules of the draft. They did.”
I honestly can’t understand this line of thinking. Men have themselves to blame??? Men aren’t a collective sweetie, men don’t have themselves to blame. Men have some stupid warmongering congressmen to blame, but not all men had some collective action in establishing the draft, just as men are not some monolithic collective unit. Each man is an individual.
Why are people like smitethepatriarchy and lucyaudley and prokopetz so hung up on this idea that certain shared chromosomal patterns automatically means that every individual person with those chromosomes are just one great big monolithic entity? I can guarantee you that the young male students protesting drafts and wars aren’t to blame for the draft. Even though they are indeed men. Just why do you people struggle so hard with persons having individual identities and recognizing that they are not unanimous nor accountable for every single thing some chromosome-sharer has done in society?
And that just because one person of one gender does something untoward or undesirable that it somehow reflects and represents every single individual in the world of that gender? It doesn’t. So stop it.
See a psychiatrist, because you have glaring cognitive problems like extreme exhibition of outgroup homogeneity biases (aka me and people like me are diverse unique individuals, but people unlike me are all uniform in thoughts and actions) and group attribution errors (aka some person (A) or a small group of people (B) did X so every person who shares an attribute with A or B is automatically complicit and prefers X too). Being that way is so damn fallacious.
This is a great point, and thank you for putting it into words.
that sounds super abusive. girls this is not cute this is not healthy this is not reasonable.
misogynist: women get mad at you for no reason, those bitches are always pissed about something! women are emotional, irrational, and crazy
idiot: wow it sounds like those women are abusive to their boyfriends!
Bitch what the fuck?
It blows my mind that some people can’t understand that sometimes people are just overreacting. And it goes for both men and women in relationships.
It’s not cute when either does this, and it really doesn’t help that society expects this of women in relationships because God do TV shows and movies love making it look like it’s acceptable to behave this way. Can’t sell drama of everyone is communicating and getting along!
I’ve dated the male version of this scenario. It sucked and I definitely wouldn’t do it again. I recommend dating people who let you know why they’re stressed rather than constantly taking it out on their partners.
Verbally/emotionally abusing your S.O. is just as fucked up as physical abuse. Morons like @josieandthepussycatsofficial need to stop acting like chicks ain’t capable of the same shit all people are capable of.
The fact that you’re calling them your black men like you fucking own them is a huge red flag and might be a big reason why they don’t want to date you. Also there are plenty of men who date outside of their race and plenty who don’t. People are allowed to have preferences and nobody owes you anything.
Considering my sexuality and my life circumstances, this tweet can fuck off. This generation is absurdly soft and overcoddled, to the point where many within it can’t handle a simple disagreement.
boomers are more coddled than any of us will ever be
Baby boomers didn’t demand ‘safe spaces’ at university though
no they just freak out when their food is 20 seconds late and cry when a sports ball man doesn’t stand for the anthem
They fucking demanded that women not be allowed in college with them. They demanded women not wear pants! Even young school girls couldn’t wear pants in 20 degree weather! But yeah, sure, they didn’t demand safe spaces. Just demanded everyone follow their ideals.
> Baby boomers are people born between 1946 and 1964.
> Women were not allowed to go into colleges until around the end of the 19th century.
Baby boomers were not involved in “demanding women not be allowed in college with them”. By the time baby boomers were generally college-aged, women in colleges was a widespread and generally quite accepted thing. Get your facts straight, @callmegoddess618.
The first Ivy League college that wasn’t Cornell didn’t admit women until 1977. Prior to then, women were “allowed” to college courses but weren’t allowed to graduate from them. Look up Radcliff college. Last I checked, someone born in ‘46 would have been in college well before ‘77. And I love how you completely ignore that fact that young girls had to attend school in snow storms in fucking skirts and tights. They also demanded women on TV not wear pants. They demanded a safe space from women being on juries, demanded women not have her own bank accounts or credit cards.
This isn’t even to touch on the shit people of color and members of the LGBT+ community had to put up with from Boomers.
So maybe pretending that Boomers never once demanded “safe spaces” from things that offended them is a bad idea.
>The first Ivy League college that wasn’t Cornell didn’t admit women until 1977.
July 16, 1840 —Catherine Brewer becomes the first woman to earn a bachelor’s degree, graduating from Wesleyan College in Macon, Ga.
???
You said ‘college’, not Ivy League. In fact, the woman who was admitted to that college would’ve been a boomer. You’re ignoring the second half, where boomers ended in 1964.
>
They also demanded women on TV not wear pants.
Like the Mary Tyler Moore Show, or Three’s Company, or Charlie’s Angels, all hit shows which starred boomers?
>
They demanded a safe space from women being on juries,
>Utah became the first state which included women in jury service, from 1898.[2]In 1942, Glasser v. United States struck down legislation that required women to take a jury class to serve as jurors. Hoyt v. Florida in 1961 upheld state laws that did not make women’s jury service mandatory, but Taylor v. Louisiana in 1975 struck down such laws. In 1979, Duren v. Missouri ruled that women should not be permitted to opt out from jury service. J.E.B. v. Alabama was a 1994 ruling which held that lawyers could not use peremptory challenges to influence the jury’s gender ratio.[3]
Again, instead of demanding safe spaces, the very ‘boomers’ you decry were challenging these laws and prejudices.
Please stop. This is just embarrassing.

Yes. They’d be 31 in 1977.
Do you think it was people 31 and under that had control over the school’s policies?
Have you considered for a moment that you may not be talking about “Boomers” but people born in the interwar period?
And in contrast, Oxford university first allowed women to graduate in 1920 and Cambridge in 1869 (although it didn’t admit them as members until 1947).
The only people to blame for children under the age of 10 having “addictions” to smart phones, tablets, and technology in general is the parents. I don’t want to hear people complain about their 4 year old knowing how to play with the settings on their ipad. You put the iPad in your kid’s life. You gave a 4 year old their own ipad. They learned to use it. You did that. It’s your fault. Don’t blame kid’s for poor parenting, incompetence, and laziness when it comes to raising children.
Every Mom on Facebook: Which tablet should I buy my two year old? 🙂
Giving the baby a tablet or phone is the new plopping the baby in front of the TV and leaving.
He ain’t even in the floor yet and you’re arguing about Spongebob’s sexuality?!
Oh my fucking God shut up tumblr.
You people are the fucking worst, if it’s not you idiots dragging a man for accusations of bigotry that aren’t goddamn real the second he drops dead, it’s you using their corpse as a soapbox to whine about shit that doesn’t matter and won’t ever come to pass.
“Shut up Tumblr “
My dude that’s literally Twitter
Okay fine, it’s a twitter post screencapped and reposted on tumblr, you know what the fuck I meant. It’s dumb no matter the source.
Y’all know the reason Japan’s birthrate is declining rapidly is because of their nightmarish work environments and sexism and not because of anime right
you guys are just kidding about that
right?
On this site, do you really think they’re kidding?
no..
>sexism lowers birthrates
🤔
yo if somebody is being sexist to you would you wanna give them the fuck? The shag? The puss puss? Would you pass the butter? Heels to Jesus? Would you ask for that creampie? Would you do the Lincoln? Prune the hibiscus?
i’m just gonna say it again because my meme arrow dominates the fake reality you’ve constructed.
>sexism lowers birthrates
this guy is the funniest person in the universe watch
It gets better
What’s funnier is that this is exactly what the japanese government thought
They thought that if women are given the choice between working or having children they’d be more focused on starting families but the women refused to submit themselves to sexist husbands and devoted themselves to their jobs instead. Most women have given up on having children all together.
Basically:
Japanese Government: Women! These are your options –
Option A: Be a baby-making machine and sit at home for a husband who spends Monday-Saturday with a 100 hour work week, shit pay, and no vacations. So even if he DOES come home he will be too stressed and tired to even think about sex, and the rare times that you DO get to be alone there’s no guarantee you’ll get pregnant anyway.
Option B: Be a spinster forever but have a career
Japanese Women: Option B.
Japanese Government: WHY AREN’T WOMEN HAVING CHILDREN???????
