It doesn't help that women have achieved legal equality, but movements never want to die, so they search for smaller things to rally behind.

OnismPiglet
I find it curious that women aren't taken seriously enough in that they can literally beat someone and it's something to be dismissed.
lmgurisashlthole
In the western world they are largely allowed to act as adult children with no agency. Men can keep the responsibilities, share the rest.
OnismPiglet
I find there to be something very wrong with treating women like children. Insulting even.
lmgurisashlthole
Yeah well a lot of women prefer it because it means other people are doing the hard parts and just provide for you. They like that part.
lmgurisashlthole
They don't so much like the part where they have to be responsible for their actions though.
OnismPiglet
For me? I want full equality. I think there are a lot of women like that, at least where I am from. Not sure about other countries!

Well I didn't ask. Don't miss that opportunity to talk about yourself though. You live in the industrialized world, you are sheltered.

Historically people have seen women as non-threatening.This makes them "cute" when angry. We need to do better as a whole to ensure everyone

I can't speak for all places, but in the major metro DA's office I used to work in, they were.
ThatGuyVinny
Isn't there a large gap on ALL conviction in terms of gender, something like 60% larger sentencing for male offenders on equal crimes?
Traja01
Sentencing =/= charging. It's difficult to compare sentencing given that its such a context-dependent determination.
Traja01
Criminal history, personal history, mitigating/aggravating circumstances, who the judge is (or jury in those states).
Traja01
In other words you can't look at two first degree assault convictions with disparate sentences w/o considering all the other variables.

SomeCrazyNerd
To be fair berating someone in public is not something worth police intervention or anything. People be dicks. What're you going to do?

While that may be true, the EXACT SAME SCENARIO with the genders reversed got people to respond dramatically.

In the defense of the audience, it's a show like Springer where employees off camera coach a reaction out of the audience.

"misogyny" is literally the dictionary opposite of misandry, NEITHER has anything to do with oppression.

This is simply an extension of the no true Scotsman fallacy - by saying that the most fringe extreme is the only ones who say or do this

It implies that there is a core and majority of feminists who do not, It basically it sets up the No true Scotsman fallacy - hence extension
