(8,170 posts)Men are more oppressed than women? This despite them receiving more pay, better promotion prospects, more work options, a large amount of leaway in sexual assault and harassment cases? Your attitude towards women stinks.
You insist that consent is elastic and say that in your experience it is. On that basis I suggest that there is a good chance that you have sexually assaulted a someone but have not realised it. What is more you are likely to blame the victim of sexual assault rather than the criminal
You say that consent can be assumed, in what circumstances? Even in marriage you cannot assume consent, if you have ever assumed consent then there is an excellent chance you have sexually assaulted a your sexual partner. What is more you are likely to blame the victim of sexual assault rather than the criminal.
On the question of male privilege, please identify what privileges women have that do not depend on a deeply patronising and misogynistic male view of women. If you can find such examples then explain how they make up for the assumption that women cannot do equivalent work to men, that women deserve less pay for equivalent work, that women can have men pass open judgement on their mood, driving skills, clothing and physique.
These four answers grounds alone show you display a deep and completely unexamined misogynistic streak.
You also seem to have an inability to read anything more than what you want to see. The word "only" appears in Bainsbain question as in "Portraying a view of women that makes it clear someone sees their only purpose as to provide them sex" (emphasis mine) and what is confusing about that?
Similarly you admit that sexism and misogyny exist but then deny that on the basis of the bovine excremental grounds that you think men who have those attitudes are self hating. I don't think you would classify yourself as self hating so why are all men displaying your attitudes to be so judged?
