JFC, why do some people feel like they need to fucking dominate every fucking thread they decide to post in? You’ve repeated yourself 20 times, we know; or try nuance.

I don’t see them, aside from the odd one doing landscaping in the summer.
But aren’t these most of the leaders of the main feminist organizations?
Ok, what’s your point? It’s still mostly men in those jobs, most women still don’t want those jobs, and the ones who do are still welcome to apply. I don’t see a problem.
So the current economy is worse than communism?
I don’t know, some people seem pretty comfortable working in grocery stores. I see the same people working there for years and years. Not something I would do, but to each his own.
If you don’t like it then don’t read the thread instead of crying about it.
You also don’t live in a densely populated area. Your observation isn’t really the best measurement
They are, and that shit is an academic scam. They make up shit so that they can get grant money and keep their departments in business. Most of them would have to work real jobs if they didn’t have multigenerational wealth. To me, radical college feminists are the left wing of white supremacy.
Me either. I welcome it, and it’s a matter of time before more women do these jobs.
Where did I say that? People still procreate and have kids under communism. Are you implying that the current capitalist economy is bad for traditional family values? No, people are just fucking lazy and don’t have their priorities straight. Raising kids isn’t cheap or easy, and people are delusional to try to do that off a minimum wage job with no education or trained skill and then complain about the cost of living.
How many times have you made that same post recently. Get. a. clue.
You guys are killing me with this. I’m going to close my computer and watch a romantic comedy wearing fuzzy slippers and my Walmart hoodie.
I can do that because I have (aside from my husband, who also earns) a job and money enough for fuzzy slippers, streaming services, and all the other things I want or need. I could have those things even if I was ugly and unappealing to men who earn good money. I can have those things if, God forbid, something happens to my husband and I’m left on my own. Should his funeral set me behind a bit, though it wouldn’t because I save, I have credit cards in my own name to see me through.
I don’t think I’m ugly or unappealing to men. But if I were, it would be okay. Because of feminism, which has given and now protects my right to be a real person, like men are real people. I don’t want to BE like a man or take anything from men, I just want to have rights, the way men do where I live.

Non sequitur. Comparing feminists to conservatives, apples and oranges.
Once again, @chris_ottawa kills a thread with his cave man mentality.
Now he’s going to flame me with tired old rhetoric about being a soy boy.
I’d like to address this with a post that I made earlier:
That post addresses trans athletes competing across gender divides, which I generally disagree with - and we probably agree there, but it also addresses that the idea of equality does not have to do with ‘lets play a sport where I have a genetic advantage and see how equal we are then’. That’s like a woman asking a man to breastfeed the baby to make things equal. Silly, right?
I was in the Marines too - 0311, so I understand where you’re coming from regarding combat arms, but again, I just wanted to reiterate the idea of ‘equality in spite of our differences’. We are different, so the equality would extend to things that can be equal. We cannot be physically equal (on average), so discussing equality with regards to sports, and combat is silly. I’m a feminist, but I was certainly against women coming into our infantry platoon, for the simple reason that when I was in, I was 220 and carrying minimum 60 lbs, so I need to know you can drag, carry, or at least move almost 3 bills of dead weight if you’re going to be watching my back.
I’m not someone who’s planted on either sides of the fence here, but I believe in the ideas of equal pay, equal opportunities, and equal treatment, and while feminism and people saying crazy shit may be all over the internet and media, the amount of vile stuff spewed about women on message boards like this, and social media, and 4chan/reddit/other shitty parts of the web show what people are really thinking.
Finally, with regards to women complaining about a lack of men in female dominated fields, those fields are usually women dominated because those are the jobs that women were relegated to when men had more say in society, so we’re in a bit of a conundrum, since men have mostly decided what jobs they wanted women to do in the first place.

2/2. I was also 8152 (Sequeerity Forces, FAST platoon, 2nd bravo in Yorktown, VA). You?
What qualifies as densely populated in your opinion? The slums of Mumbai? I live in a city with almost a million people, and I don’t live way out in the suburbs either.
Here:
But I was joking too.
So only people making what, $100k+ should have kids then? The cost of living here is high and constantly going up. Also some people have a whole bunch of kids and live off welfare because when you have enough kids it can be more than what they are capable of earning if they worked full time, but that’s another issue. But basically with what you are talking about here you would only have rich people and welfare recipients having kids while everyone else dies alone and childless.
You were the one who called yourself a soy boy, you just threw a hissy fit when I made a joke. Go overdose on heroin again please.
Apparently any man who isn’t a male feminist is considered a cave man in some far-left circles, interesting.
No shit ! I was 3rd Recon then 1/4. Coached at Edson Range for last duty station.
You were in FAST Co. ?

Ok, since you are back, please explain what is left for non-radical feminists to accomplish.
It’s weird that none of the women where you work will identify as a feminist around you. I wonder why that is?
Do you think it’s that you’re willing to say such really creepy shit?

A Hollywood Marine, huh. Yup. FAST co. Lots of training, virtually no action, haha. Went through AUC in Dam Neck in the DEVGRU section, was honor grad out of Designated Marksman school (I don’t remember if it was founded by Carlos Hathcock, but there were graduation photos with him in it near the end of his life, when he was in a wheelchair - regardless, we weren’t snipers, just DM’s), got a lot of good training, just didn’t have a chance to use it until the fleet. I also was pretty fortunate - didn’t see a ton of action, nothing particularly traumatizing at all, no major injuries beyond herniated discs and knee discomfort, plus my left ear is pretty fucked (I’m a lefty). So no badass claims from me, lol. I’m also well aware my slightly left-of-center views were pretty out of the ordinary for the Corps, which is why I kept my mouth shut during my time, and also why I’m a gun owner/carrier and sit in the middle of the aisle on a lot of issues.
Hollywood Marine to a T.
I’m on a SWAT team now. More action here than in my 11 years in service.
What years were you in ?

'09-'13. Things weren’t horribly kinetic during that time anyhow. Your policing duties sound like they’ve been absolutely brutal during your time. Respect, brother.
