If that is your argument, I would say men have done a commendable job. They supported women for centuries while building a society that would eventually let women not be dependent on men.
- tomnipotent 8y agoThey never needed to be dependent in the first place. We're probably centuries behind where we could have been if half the population had been allowed to contribute from the start.
- msiyer 8y agoWe are centuries behind because we do not embrace the beauty of dimorphism. One sex complements the other. This is not a war for supremacy.
- tomnipotent 8y ago> This is not a war for supremacy Tell that to generations of men that have used violence to stay on top. Hard not to consider it a war when it looks, talks, and walks like a duck.
- msiyer 8y agoA very few powerful men have been abusing other men for generations too. Women in such powerful families were no less abusive. Why are we ignoring the suffering of men?
- psychometry 8y agoYes, great job, men! Seriously, is that comment supposed to be a joke or are you one of those red-pillers? My point is: I'm not sure "supported" is quite the right word.
- devmunchies 8y agoWhy would it be a joke? Are you one of those man-haters?
- psychometry 8y agoBecause it takes a very special type of daftness to think for centuries men were "supporting" women by not allowing them to work.
- msiyer 8y agoThis world is built upon the dead bodies of men. Men who fought wars to protect their kin, men who fell from the top of buildings they were constructing, men who suffocated to death deep in the tunnels, or drowned in the ocean... Let us not forget them. Let us not belittle their sacrifices.
- Daido_M 8y agoI don't quite understand this. Many women worked in the fields, or at home, or giving birth. They suffered, I'm sure, just as much.
- psychometry 8y agoHaha. You know it was men who started all of those wars, right?
- s73v3r_ 8y agoI absolutely would not suggest men have done a commendable job, because for much of that time women were basically treated as property.
- msiyer 8y agoThat is a myopic view of history.
