i’m not super sure on these laws honestly, I live in Colorado so we’re an at-will state when it comes to employment. I don’t think I have much legal ground to stand on because i also have no physical evidence of discrimination

“At will” laws only protect a company if they don’t fire you for an illegal reason and there are federal laws against gender-based pay discrimination, although the company may argue that your pay was lower due to a lack of experience

When women go through a bullshit experience with a large group of bad men and say “I hate men” as a response, they don’t mean it literally. And oftentimes they will greatly appreciate you (a man) if you show basic human decency or even just a touch of empathy.

because there is no historical precedent that has oppressed men for centuries, so saying that isn’t nearly as effective as the opposite. saying that you hate women is just reinforcing sexism that has effected women for centuries, a man saying they hate women is a normality we are trying to change.

Anonymous #2 3w

Okay so there’s this fascinating idea in gender studies, pretty much an oppression stacks. A black woman is more oppressed than a black man. At least he’s a man. A black woman is more oppressed than a white woman. At least she’s white. And a disabled black woman is more oppressed than all. A white man is never oppressed, he is a man and he is white. But a white woman is oppressed. You can’t believe in severe racial oppression and not believe in severe gender oppression.

Male genital mutilation is legal in the form of circumcision whereas women are protected against genital mutilation as of the law created in 1996. The fact that it remains legal to circumcise a boy is a violation of bodily autonomy and the equal protection clause. Not to mention men don’t have the right to vote or financial aid in college unless they sign up for the draft.

Anonymous #2 3w

If an older woman exploits a boy and she becomes pregnant as a result, despite his inability to consent, he is still liable for paying child support. Men are often more hardly punished for identical crimes of women. If a man refuses the draft he will go to prison. There are 4x more male prisoners (who perform slave labor) than women. Even feminist theory accepts that everyone has systemic oppression in their own category. To believe that men never face oppression is a symptom of that oppression
