>In just about every study, it's been shown that, no, the crime rates are not disproportionately higher.
Are we even talking about the same thing? There are absolutely groups that commit more crimes than others. Do you honestly need a citation for a claim like, "young men commit more crimes than elderly women?"
>No, it's not. Not in the slightest. Wanting equality only looks bigoted to those who benefit from the inequality.
Feminism isn't bigoted for wanting equality, Feminism is bigoted (but probably correctly so) for highlighting men as the reason there isn't equality. It gets back to my central claim that claims can be bigoted and true/valid/accurate.
- dragonwriter 9y agoIME, much of feminism focuses on patriarchy as a set of structures as the problem, not men, and that the patriarchy is neither exclusively supported by men and their actions nor exclusively harmful to women.

Do you honestly need a citation for a claim like, "young men commit more crimes than elderly women?"" You should be able to cite something for that claim, yes. But you know we're not talking about those kinds of groups; we are talking about the ones that are highlighted on sites like Breitbart. "Feminism is bigoted (but probably correctly so) for highlighting men as the reason there isn't equality." Feminism doesn't highlight men. Feminism highlights power structures, many of which are put in place by certain men.
