Instead of saying “women slept their way to the top”, rather say “men withhold promotions and leverage power until they receive sexual favors”.
That’s the real truth of the matter.
Women: "We don't need men"
Military - 95% men
Firefighters - 97% men
Coal Miners - 95% men
Truck drivers - 90% men
Construction - 92% men
Oil rig workers - 96% men
Surgeons - 82% men
Engineers - 89% men
The world goes around because of men.
Thank you for pointing out sexism:
Teachers - 76% women
Nurses 88% women
Social workers - 83% women
Elder care 80%+ women
Child care 94% women
Food prep - 56% women
Admin/clerical - 72% women
Medical & health services managers - majority women
The entire unpaid labor economy that keeps society functioning - overwhelmingly women.
Since we're listing statistics, let's finish the set properly...
Prison population: Men - 96%
Sex offenders in prison: Men - 98.5%
Prosecutions for sexual offences: Men 98%
Domestic homicide perpetrators: Men – 90%
Overall violent crime: Men 85%+
So if we're going to argue that society runs because of men, we should also acknowledge the parts of society that fall apart because of them.
Wait, just not finished yet...
Childbirths - 0% men
Men exist because of women.
Military is needed because MEN start wars.
No one said Women don't need men.
They said we DON'T NEED misogyny.
There's a difference.
They show that women:
Were kept out of unions
Were banned from combat
Were barred from engineering schools
Were fired when pregnant
Were excluded from whole industries by law
You don't get points for dominating spaces you locked women out of.
Women pass down mitochondrial DNA.
Lineage already runs through the mother.
So should the last name.
The maternal line is the only unbroken genetic line.
Women carry lineage.
Our children should carry our names.
Men don’t pass mitochondrial DNA.
Women do.
The lineage is maternal.
Name accordingly.
Patriarchy: If you don't want an unplanned pregnancy, keep your legs closed.
Women: ... that's not... You know what? Fine.
Patriarchy: Also, pick better men. Stop dating as*holes and deadbeats.
Women: On it.
<male loneliness epidemic and declining birth rates enter the chat>
Patriarchy: NO NOT LIKE THAT!!!
you ask a woman why she hates men and she will give you a long list of the ways she’s been harassed and abused by men. you ask a man why he hates women and he starts whining about how women don’t want fuck him
being a feminist and supporting pornography and prostitution is simply absurd. how can you defend an industry that orchestrates the rape of women (generally poor and racialized) ? how can you defend the idea that men can buy women ?
If abortion is illegal, men leaving their pregnant
partners should be illegal too. If women can't back out from pregnancy then men can't back out from their responsibility as fathers either.
