Feminist quote of the day

"Discrimination against men on the basis of gender is so unusual as to be non-existent, so what exactly will a men's society do?"

Invisible, of course, is not the same as non-existent.

Invisible because it's so banal, because it's so common as to be unremarkable and thus to go unrecognised, certainly not the same as non-existent.

Still, the article as a whole is very encouraging. And naturally, feminists are horrified at the possibility of actual sexual equality.

Olivia Bailey appears to define "male-dominated space" as any space that has men in it. Her quip makes no sense otherwise.

Note of course the careful use of shaming words like "ridiculous".

Gender feminism has become a sort of religion that worships women. Loving women is one thing, women worshiping to the degree that u are enabling them to lie in our courts is more like a perversion.

I guess she never heard of men discriminating against other men. Very typical.

Or of WOMEN discriminating against men. Even more typical.

my favorite part from the article as well as the comments was the often repeated "but if men get together they''ll DO stuff!!" Amazing, isn't it? Men like to actually do stuff.

Even if these groups just get together, drink some beer and grow beards. I just don't get what the big deal is?

My uni had an anime club, they had a Womens chess team, hell even a Womens only equine group. No male only groups, however the NRL group was mostly Male and the uni pulled their funding (go figure).

Tackling Male only issues, is a great thing and needs to be done but what is wrong with "boys being boys with boys". Apparently it is allowed for Women so equality means Men can do it too.

Reading the comments, i'm just sad to hear how many people seem to totally misunderstand the goals of feminism. They all have admirable personal goals yet seem to be totally oblivious to the fact that the "leaders and trend setters" of their little groups are completely psychotic.

I just love how all these Women think they can tell Men how to be Men and how only Male minorities face discrimination, to quote "Y'all don't know what it's like, being Male middle class and white"
