My lord, the amount of fucking butthurt.

>Massive self-interest among spoiled, entitled people is not a conspiracy.The way it's presented comes off as a conspiracy. The idea that women's suffrage was more about gaining advantage over men then any sort of equality comes off as a conspiracy.
>Way to prove my pointNever said that the Suffragettes never did anything horrible. But to completely deny any sort of good or progress by women's suffrage is to completely ignore history.
>No, they had a privilege (not being subject to the draft) and they paid for it by giving up another privilege (the right to vote)Are you really serious with this? It's not like women were like "Nah, we don't want to own land, vote, or get education. If you guys fight all of the wars, we'll let you guys have that."
No, that was imposed on them. It had its roots in culture, sure, but it's not like women asked to be treated this way. Your whole perception of this is skewed.
>People lobbying for their own advancement is not a fight for equality. It's not noble and it's not heroic.So, I guess the civil rights movement wasn't noble or heroic, right?
Are you also saying people can't call bullshit on the disadvantages they might have in society?

>You're calling him a bigot but are just as bigoted. It's just hypocritical is allYou're just saying I'm a bigot because I am criticizing his opinion. Again, open forum, he put his opinion out there. I called it ridiculous.
And yes, I believe (Not, the word, believe) his view to be bigoted.
> But the point is mistreatment is subjective, there is no objective right or wrong way to treat people, no such thing as objective mistreatment. I can say treating people equally is mistreatment since people aren't equal and you're treating equal things as though they were the same. Again, this is very simplified logic. This is technically true, because humans are just biological processes and that the universe is chaos and life is meaningless, blah blah blah.
At the same time, I'm pretty sure you don't want to be denied the right to your opinion. Or the right to good medical care. Or the right to an education. Or the ability to feed yourself and your family.
And from that idea, in feeling that I wouldn't want to be denied these things, I wouldn't want anyone else either, because I'm at least a good enough person to want other people to have the same rights as me.
>Not necessarily, equal distribution of wealth takes away from research to give to poor people who at best will work at Mcdonalds. It doesn't necessarily help progressPossibly, but I'm mostly talking about equality in rights and opportunities, not so much in equal distribution of wealth. I still believe that you have to work to earn what you get. I just think people should all have equal footing in order to have the same chances.
>You're the one with 14 year old logic"I know you are, but what am I?"
>Because now men's votes are worth less. Who gives a shit? I mean, really.
And at least, our vote is worth as much as everyone elses. boo fucking hoo.
>And this wasn't a bad thing for slave owners?Yes, it was, but the lives of their slaves should have never been in their hands to begin with. So, who fucking cares if it was fair to them?
They adapted and overcame, or they wasted away.
>Come on, Anon. Think. No seriously, think before you speak.I could say the same for you.

>The draft.Oh my fucking God, enough with the draft.
No, I don't think the draft is right. It's one way men got shafted, but it doesn't just suddenly make men the oppressed ones. It also doesn't erase the fact that women were treated like shit for much longer then the idea of a draft was ever conceived.
Mostly, I think the Draft was tied to the idea that men were held up as defenders and it was their obligation. I think that's wrong and antiquated, but so is the idea that women are suppose to stay home and just be care givers.
Remember, it wasn't just the right to vote that was denied to women before Woman's suffrage.
>My reply to your comment.Yup. And I still think that way. What you posted was stupid, and I didn't originally want to get into why it was so dumb. You can call it childish, smug, whatever.
I'm sorry that I don't usually give ridiculous opinions the time or day, I guess?
>Another post about the draft.Again, not saying there weren't issues related to men at the time. I'm saying overall, women had the short straw.
And while there are issues in modern society that affect men, it's not like this one sided thing where men are completely disadvantaged. Granted, I think women have it pretty good as well, but there's a lot of problems on both sides that need fixing.
