Make feminism great again. Anonymous 46977
I dunno about you, but I can't stand most of the moder "feminism" moviment. I thought of four points that I think we should change in order to make Feminism once again represent women.
1 remove trannies: That should be simple. They're not women and shouldn't be part of the moviment. They don't suffer from the same problems as us and can't help solbing them. Take them (and gay men) out of the feminism should be priority 1 and 2.
2 Stop with this brainless anti-capitalistic mentality: I'm not saying that feminism should embrace laissez-faire capitalism or anything, just stop believing that the economic system is the root of all evil. Nothing has saved more lives than capitalism, nothing has freed more women than it nothing has made so many powerful women than capitalism. Take the gender gape, for instance. It's real and something should change. But how? Forcing companies to pay the same won't work, that will just make women unimployed. Most of the gap is explained because women have to work at home, what makes them work less hours. We should make men share house duties, not punish companies because they want to profit. Another part of it is explained because, well, women get pregnant. Want to work more (and earn more)? Don't have children. Ain't that hard.
3 "fat positive" stuff: This manages to be even more unscientific than the others. You're not helping women by lying to them and saying it's ok to be fat. Obesity is a disease. Your blood tests are good? Cool, that means you're young, not that you are immune to the consequences of being overweight. You're 40 and are still ok? Anecdotal evidence. Yeah, there are people who smoke crack cocaine for decades and are ok too. B-but ana-chans! Whataboutism. They are also ill, and also need help, not lies.
4 Stop thinking that people that disagree with feminism because they are stupid: the world is more complex than that. People can be smart and vote for different candidates. There are good "pro-life" arguments and bad "pro-choice" arguments. Making people angry will not convince them you're right. Of course, that's not an iron law and people can be unreasonable. Learn to debate with each, study more before having strong opinions, and changing your mind about subjects is a sign of intelligence and maturity.
So, what do you think?

>>47013This
As someone who was obese (as in medically, not just sorta fat) a few years ago, the thing that helped me lose weight wasn’t people giving me “tough love” or whatever. It came from being too busy to eat like a fatass anymore and realizing how much better I felt after losing the weight.
Skinny internet people have no idea how fat people work and it shows.

Of course, when you say "there's nothing wrong about being fat, those doctors are morons" you're lying, but bullying won't help anyone.
I honestly don't know how to help overweight women. If feminism is about women's problems, it can't endorse bullying, but we can't pretend it's ok to be sick as well.
Anonymous 48541
>>48539Just don't mention weight at all. The only people who need to be called out and corrected are the ones who are actively pushing the narrative that being obese isn't unhealthy and that it's a positive thing.
Anonymous 48543
>>48541Yeah, makes sense. I think almost every obese person is aware that it's not healthy to remain this way and will eventually do their best to achieve a better condition, we don't need to remind them (though, I think praise when we see that they're losing weight is a good thing).
I don't know about other places, but where I live there are a few YouTubers and Instagramers (unfortunately, most of them are women) who praise their fat lifestyle and are always telling how healthy they are (and presenting evidence against what they're saying makes you a "fat-phobe").
Anonymous 48547
>>46978I would definately do it, but those 4 points are never going to be considered feminist points.
Would also add:
5) Normalization of femdom and rolereversed relationships as a way to deal with the whole homework and children reality described in point "2". Which leads to point 6…
6) Would go as far as pushing that mpreg should be a main research topic for the next century as a way to end with the biological reality that limits women to be breeders and push males to be providers. Only once males can also be breeders, that women will be free and able to make the choice of fully develop into providers and leaders while a sub male can take the motherly and housewife role.
7) Stop ignoring biological and psychological realities. Some biological realities can be overcome. Others cannot. Women are not going to be phisically stronger than males. Perhaps one they we can get them pregnant, but that won't change how we are structured differently. The whole "pushing" of females into male-oriented careers such as programing, IT or engineering is stupid, pointless and just makes women look dumb and uncapable by comparison. It is very fucking obvious and cringy when a girl is rising as a programmer just because of affirmative action and management-level pushing to get mediocre females to be viewed as great. Rather than doing that, lets instead focus on increasing female participation in the medical and law areas, were we are actually psychological prone to be better than males and revalue them so that they can be more economically attractive. I rather have 10 outstanding female medical doctors and psychiatrists than 10 semi-retarded female programmers that can't code for shit or 10 unfunny-as-fuck "comedians" being praised just for not having a dick.
8) Start defending gun-rights. The single thing that can equate a man and a woman in a fight is a gun. Gun ownership is adamant to make females capable of defending themselves against males and no, you won't fucking change 99,9% of the world and 5000 years of natural selection and human agression into a "never harm anyone" mentality just because you want so. It just won't happen and you will still get assaulted at night, so pack a gun in your purse and help natural selection take a course where women don't get beaten up by agressive apes.

People get fat because they feel confortable with it. People only put the effort to stay thin or to get thin if they feel imense medical and social pressure from it.
Just think for a moment: Why do you make an effort to stay thin when eating chocolate and ice cream all day long would make you happy?
1) Because you know that being fat will get you sick (and if you lie that it wont to the fatsos, they will lose this stimuli)
And:
2) Because you want to feel attractive and beautifull, and you know that being fat is ugly and unattractive (and when you lie that being fat can be pretty you are not only justifying fatness as ok and losing this 2nd stimuli to be thin, but also you are creating a horde delusional people that will try to push their uglyness onto others as if it is normal and then get angry and frustrated when rightly rejected by others).
>>48548The gap does not exists in the sense that males does not make more money per hour on the same work as females. A female surgeon gets the same ammount of money per hour as a male surgeon and a male police officer gets the same ammount of money per hour as a female police officer.
The gap does exists though as the average male makes more money than the average female. And that happens because males often works more hours per day than women, because they don't get pregnant and therefore do not interrupt their careers for 9 months (minimum), choose higher demanded and higher paying careers (guess what… being an programmer pays more than being a journalist) and also choose riskier and unconfortable jobs that comes with a "unsafe/unsanitary/far-away" bonus (guess what… being a chemical engineer in an oil rig in the middle of the ocean where you can die of an explosion and there is nothing and you have to live where you work pays more than being a psychologist in a trendy upscale urban area with lots of ammenities).
>>48549Are they really? Can i get one right now for my bf?
Guess not.
>>48550>>48552It is not just a fetish fuel, it is true liberation.
At the moment i make 3 times the salary of my sub bf - Yet i can be a high paying professional and domme non-piv top all my life and still i will be stuck up with the biological breeder role and be forced to interupt years of my life to have the family i want to. That effectively prevents me from ever fully developing or being equal to my bf/partner/spouse.
Mpreg is the only way that this obstacle can be removed, in the sense that this will make viable for my bf/partner/spouse to take the breeder role, conceive our kids, quit his job and take the job of raising the kids while i continue to develop my career that is much more lucrative than his.

There are no good pro-life arguments as all pro-life arguments imply the denial of the woman's right over herself and her body, and make it possible for someone to make use of another's body against her will.
The common pro-life rebuttal is that sex is consent to pregnancy. It is not, will to have sex is not will to keep a unwanted pregnancy. Another common rebuttall is that the fetus has its own body. True; that does not entitle it to reside inside the body of someone else. It can have its own body outside the woman's.

I still think it should be a option.
I agree there's plenty of ways to prevent pregnancies. But some people are not properly educated on the ways or had a shelter lives or think they cannot afford birth control. (Planned parenthood provides contraceptives, it isn't just about abortions.) Or they could be in their teens too afraid to buy condoms. My cousin was scared of people finding out she was sexually active so did it without protection. Then risk someone seeing her buy condoms or go to the doctors. (Why he didn't buy the condoms, I never cared to ask.)
Getting a abortion should be a serious topic, and anyone who considers it should think about it. But they should be denied the option. I doubt there's anyone treating it like a game. If they are then they need serious help.

Its humanity is irrelevant. A symbiotic relationship requires the relationship be mutually beneficial. An unwanted pregnancy is obviously not beneficial to the woman.

>The rebut to that is a fairly obvious one: someone who can neither care for a child nor wants one to begin with, shouldn't be having sex.
That's a typical male argument from men who want to control women.
Sex is not pregnancy. Women want to have sex without being pregnant, that's why birth control exists. Failure on birth control to do its part sometimes is not willingness on the woman to be pregnant. Don't attempt to control women's lives, that's not feminist.

That's why we make the distinction between wanted and unwanted pregnancies and do not designate women as property who can be forced into having their bodies used against their will. You are the one arguing for using humans as property in this thread, and calling pregnancy a "personal inconvenience" with all the social and health risks and setbacks it carries (sickness, lack of energy, likeliness to lose your job and source of income because of it) makes me think you're not a woman.

Here's a fun thought experiment for pro choicers.
Imagine you receive a message from an unknown woman thats saying she's thinking about having an abortion but isn't sure about it. You give her your usual viewpoints about how a fetus isn't a person it's just a cluster of cells, an unwanted fetus is a parasite that deserves to be killed, she should feel no guilt or hesitation about the whole thing, etc etc…
But heres the twist, that woman turns out to be your own mother while she was pregnant with you, communicating through a time rift. She has no idea you're her potential future child, she just thinks you're some stranger.
She says she thinks she's made up her mind based on what you told her and has decided to go through with it and abort you. You have one opportunity before she leaves to potentially tell her something different now that you know the "unwanted parasite" or "just a cluster of cells" is actually you.
So what do you do? Commit suicide for your ideals, or change your tune because you know that fetus is you, a thinking feeling person? No BS answers about time travel doesn't work that, in this hypothetical scenario it does, you're choosing whether or not to erase your own existence.
And remember, you can lie to me in your answer because you know that scenario could never actually happen. You can lie to me because we're anonymous strangers on the internet and you just don't want to admit the truth. But you can't lie to yourself, you know what you would actually do if it was your life on the line.

>>48758Your personal moral philosophy is yours, the stupid and regressive part is you trying to force it on all women, who have their own personal and moral philosophy and don't necessarily need yours. I am married and I have no intention of having children for the next 15 years at least, like you said for the near future I couldn't handle the mental and physical stress of enduring a pregnancy, let alone rearing children. It is not possible in my current situation. So why did you call something you can't handle a "personal inconvenience" as if it's something small that you could actually handle?
>I do certainly think people ought to put more thought into this matterWhat makes you think they haven't? I have put thought into this matter. I've never been pregnant and I am careful with my BC, but should it fail, I will abort because I don't want to be pregnant.

>I was arguing that seeking an abortion is something done for personal convenience
It's not. To say so means you think a woman's health, medical decisions and quality of life are "personal convenience" and can be disregarded. That's the complete opposite of feminism.
>not that pregnancies are a self-induced personal inconvenience (they are, though)
Not at all. They are not an inconvenience, their impact on women's lives is too big to write pregnancy off like that. And they are not self-induced, as birth control is used to prevent them, not to induce them.
>prioritizing the personal decision of a woman's right to choose means acknowledging that a fetus is inhuman
How so? Even if you want to see the fetus as human, no human has the right to use another human's body against his or her will. It is inhuman to imply so. The woman has the right to choose what stays and what doesn't stay inside her body, that is a human right called bodily autonomy. To deny it is to treat women as mere property, objects without a will of their own. Given that all women are human and have a will of their own, that's unacceptable.
>Restricting that "right" is the exact opposite of a woman being regarded as property
That's false. You are denying a woman her right over her body, saying her body is for the use of another. That's slavery, the ownership of one's body is not one's own but is at the mercy of someone else. That is being regarded as property.
>it's acknowledging the sanctity of a life and that all people, no matter the circumstances, deserves the right to live
That's not right. The right to live has limiting circumstances. You cannot take other's people organs just because you need a organ transplant. You cannot reside inside a woman's body against her will just because you need her organs to live. Her organs are her property, you have no right to steal her property to use it for yourself. That warrants your death because you are trying to live at another body's expense, and that's unacceptable for humans.
>Another thought experiment, blah blah blah
In order to make it relevant to abortion and pregnancy, one of the two people is physically attached to the other, by a mosquito-like needle digging deep into the other's body sucking blood from the other person, making them weak and making it impossible for the other to escape. The other person is suffering immensely because of this, this person doesn't want the other to suck their blood away, it's causing them immense harm and pain. This person has every right to kill the other, free themselves and stop the harm being done to their body.
You think that's just body horror? It's exactly what happens during pregnancy. The fetus steals nutrients from the woman's bloodstream. There's nothing equal between a fetus and its host; the fetus steals blood from the host and doing this causes it physical harm. Denying the host body the right to protect itself from this is immoral, and it makes the host a slave to the fetus.

>I was quoting you…
You were not. I never called pregnancy or abortion a "personal inconvenience".
>What does birth control have to do with pregnancies being self-induced.
It prevents them, showing the will of the woman is not to induce abortion but prevent them. Sex is not consent to pregnancy. I never said "Excuse me" please stop projecting things that aren't there.
>A fetus has no agency.
That's irrelevant. A coma patient has no agency too, that does not entitle the coma patient to using another person's organs against that person's will just because this coma patient needs new organs. Lack of agency does not entitle anyone to breach other humans' rights.
>You're cheapening the severity of an abortion by equating any and all abortions as being the same as the absolute worst case scenario.
No, that's false. I stated how pregnancy works and defended the woman's right to own and control her body, and not be made a slave for someone else. If someone's cheapening anything, you are cheapening women's rights.
>you're deciding whether or not something should live or die
I'm deciding if something stays inside my body or not. Whether it lives or dies outside my body is not my concern; my body is not for public use.
>you don't get to take OD meds because you're having a bad trip. That'd be stupid.
A bad trip can be a sign of OD, and you take or give OD meds anytime you suspect OD might happen to prevent it or stop it from happening. Not that all this rant of yours is relevant to unwanted pregnancy.
>Just because the you have the ability to do something, does not justify you doing it.
Except it does in does in plenty of cases and abortion is one of them, being the fundamental right to body autonomy for women.
>And, come one, don't pull that bullshit on me. "Women are human and have a will of their own." You're actually fucking kidding me, aren't you?
What, you don't think women are human and don't have a will of their own?
>Fetus are human too
That does not entitle them to using another person's body against that person's will.
>In cases which involve immediate danger to the life of the mother and in cases of rpe as we've been over before, right? Right*?
No, body autonomy means you cannot force someone to have their body used in a way they did not consent to, that's slavery. Attempt to do so is an attempt on that person's basic rights and warrants the removal of the offending party. You have no right to take another person's organs no matter what, even if you're going to die you have no right to do that and it warrants your victim the right to kill you if you try.
>You cannot reside inside a woman's body against her will just because you need her organs to live.
>You're a disgusting human being.
For not wanting my body to be used against my will? Damn, you must hate the abolition of slavery.
>A GOD DAMN FETUS DOES NOT CHOOSE TO BE PUT INSIDE YOUR VAGINA
Irrelevant. I do not choose for it to attach itself to my uterus either, that's its action not mine. Should that happen, I will to remove it from my uterus because I don't want it attached to my body.
>If you had sex, you assume the responsibility of becoming pregnant.
No, I don't. Consent to A is not consent to B. I consent to sex, not to pregnancy.

Using another person's blood and organs against that person's will is not a right. I cannot stab you with a syringe to take your blood against your consent just because I need a transfusion, and I cannot take a kidney from you just because I need a kidney. Likewise, thefetus does not have the right to use the woman's blood and uterus against her will. Using another person's organs is not a human right. You're right, it is not my concern what happens to the fetus, just like it's not my concern what happens to the patient who dies because he can't find an organ donor. Too bad, organs are not public property.

Abortion is a necessary evil and that's all that matters. Don't try to make ridiculous claims like those, it's no way to win a debate. You just sound insane. Instead focus on the economical and social necessity for abortion.

>Instead focus on the economical and social necessity for abortion.They're kind of related, women who see their basic freedom to body autonomy trampled by being denied an abortion end up developing hate and resentment toward the child they're forced to birth, which leads to said child growing up with a host of lifelong mental illnesses and social problems like drugs and crime. Prague abortion study, google it. But I prefer to get to the root of the problem which is the lack of recognizing the woman's right to be sole owner and proprietor of her own body.
>>48784If one wants to have a happy, stable, loving relationship with another person, yeah they'll need sex eventually. Even just once in a while, there'll be a need for intimacy with their partner to keep the relationship alive. Telling women not to have relationships is a breach of their privacy, you don't control other people's lives. And women having abortions simply because they don't want to be pregnant does not take anything away from rape victims, abortion is not a finite resource.

The modern abstracted idea of just a union of two people really doesn't mean anything. The benefits that come with a modern marriage (visitation rights, tax breaks, ease of inheritance) should be conferred without anything as formal as a marriage taking place. A marriage without prospect of children is functionally no different then cohabiting, which would facilitate all of the positives that you've listed. While I can understand a delay in giving birth an intentionally childless marriage is a conflict in terms.

Church interference has been a thing until the 1990s, anon, in many places it's still a thing. Marital rape was still not recognized as a crime in many western countries until the mid 90s still because the idea of marriage was still founded on the religious idea of an union between a man and a woman, with the woman being subservient to the man and his whims. In Russia the Orthodox Church is currently attempting to block a law punishing domestic violence from being passed because it will destroy the sanctity of marriage, as for the church marriage is a man beating a disobedient woman.

It is a fact the denial of bodily autonomy is a violation of human rights and it is a fact it reduces people to the status of slaves, as people without bodily autonomy do not own their bodies, their bodies becoming someone else's property to be used against the person's will.
It is also a fact that pregnancy is a foreign entity acting like a parasite to the woman, stealing blood nutrients from her bloodstream like a mosquito. Pregnancy in itself is physical harm to the woman's body with the constant risk of the harm becoming worse, and unwanted pregnancy is psychological harm too.

>Don't you think you're wasting your time in the name of pleasure instead of pursuing something more career-oriented?You can easily do both especially when there's no children involved. You're making it sound like people only get married to have sex or have a family. People can get married to simply enjoy each other's company. It's about, cooking for each other, helping each other through life, being there for them and being committed to each other.

During pregnancy the fetus invades these arteries via the syncytiotrophoblast, AKA the outer layer of the placenta formed by the embryo, which invades the wall of the uterus to establish nutrient circulation between the embryo and the woman much like a mosquito sticking its needle into your bloodstream.

>The only ethical, possible answer is evicctionismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evictionism
>Evictionism is a moral theory advanced by Walter Block and Roy Whitehead on a proposed libertarian view of abortion based on property rights. This theory is built upon the earlier work of philosopher Murray Rothbard who wrote that "no being has a right to live, unbidden, as a parasite within or upon some person's body" and that therefore the woman is entitled to eject the baby from her body at any time. Evictionists view a mother's womb as her property and an unwanted fetus as a "trespasser or parasite", even while lacking the will to act. They argue that a mother has the right to evict a fetus from her body since she has no obligation to care for a trespasser.How is that any different from what's already been said in this thread?

As for evicctionism (I see your only source on the subject is WIkipedia) does not allow you to kill the baby. By the time it's in your womb you cannot kill it anymore. You can, however deliver the baby when it can live by itself. IOW, when you're seven months pregnant you don't need to wait anymore, you can have it and put it to adoption. But killing it? No. Never.

A parasite is a living being that needs another living being to complete its biological cycle, causing it harm. By the biological definition, a pet is a parasite (here we're ignoring the joy it brings to you). A fetus is as much as a parasite as a baby, a disabled person or someone very old: it can't live on its own, it needs someone else in order to live. Do you think it's ok to kill the elders because a child does not want to take care of them?
But the most important thing, what you still failed to explain is, what gives you the right to kill someone else? And no, "don't want" is not enough".
Honest question, did you have an abortion? Is that why you're pro-choice? You're trying to cope? Or are you a guy trying to make women look retard?
As for evicctionism, you still didn't understand, you cannot kill it at all. If you find a way for it to survive without your body, that's A-ok, but you having an abortion a couple of weeks after you got pregnant is not.

>A fetus is as much as a parasite as a baby, a disabled person or someone very oldNo, a baby, a disabled person or someone very old do not live inside someone else's body, and do not invade people's arteries to suck blood from them. Usually, at least. Maybe they do in horror stories, and they are killed in cold blood like the monsters they are in those stories.
>what gives you the right to kill someone else? Self-defense from a parasite hurting me, invading my body and stealing my blood. What gives someone the right to steal my blood? There's no such right, while there is the right for me to defend myself against such offense against my body. No, I never had an abortion. I am pro-choice because I do not want to be pregnant, pregnancy is disgusting and forced pregnancy is a violation of my rights, should I become pregnant I don't want to keep the pregnancy.
>As for evicctionism, you still didn't understand, you cannot kill it at allThen it's retarded and evictionists lie when they say that "no being has a right to live, unbidden, as a parasite within or upon some person's body" because that's what fetuses do, being parasites they cannot survive outside the host. Evictionists are not evictionists at at all, you want to force women to keep parasites inside themselves against the woman's will, you should just call themselves anti-choicers like the rest of you.

I eat other beings but I don't live inside them, so yes I am a consumer and not a parasite; but the fetus lives inside the woman and therefore is a parasite.

>If there was no way to immediately abort itThere's always a way. Without having to resort to coat hangers, menstrual extraction is a method to manually extract the lining of the uterus and any fertilized egg/embryo attached to it during the first 9 weeks of pregnancy.

>>49101>you haven't cited one single reason to constantly have sex and abort fetusesYour idea of women is demented, I never aborted despite having sex because thanks to birth control I always prevented any possible pregnancy from being. Most women have sex without needing to abort fetuses thanks to birth control. We just want to be safe should our birth control fail.

FYI
https://www.thejournal.ie/eighth-amendment-4-3977441-Apr2018/Savita found out she was pregnant in August 2012. She visited her GP and was referred to the antenatal clinic in UHG for care. It was her first pregnancy and she was due on 20 March 2013.
She had no risk factors or past medical problems.
On 11 October she went to UHG for her first routine antenatal visit. She was 15 weeks and five days into her pregnancy. The findings of all her exams were normal. She told staff that she wished to breastfeed and was given advice. A complaint about back pain led to a referral to a physiotherapy service.
A fetal anomaly scan was booked and she was scheduled for her next antenatal clinic on 3 December 2012, when she would have been at 23 weeks gestation.
However, on Sunday 21 October 2012 at 9.35am, Savita and her husband Praveen attended the gynaecology ward at UHG without appointment. She presented with intermittent lower backache.
She was assessed and a treatment plan for back pain put in place. She left the hospital but was told by a doctor to come back in if she had any concerns.
Later that day – at about 3.30pm – she did return. She was upset and crying after having “felt something coming down”, which she had pushed back in.
A midwife working in the ward believed she was miscarrying and doctors were brought in to review the case.
By then, Savita was distressed and in unbearable pain.
The doctors on the ward believed that she was in the middle of a miscarriage – or about to miscarry. They noted that pregnancy loss was both inevitable and impending. They ruled out being able to perform what is known as a rescue cerclage (stitching the cervix closed to prevent miscarriage and allow a pregnancy continue to foetal viability).
The Halappanavars were moved to a single room to allow them their privacy during this devastating episode.
During that Sunday, doctors checked for a fetal heartbeat, which they were able to detect. The plan was to wait for the natural outcome of events.
Just after midnight on Monday, 22 October, Savita began vomiting violently and had a spontaneous rupture of membranes – that is that the bag of membranes around the foetus had burst and the fluid (also known as liquor) had leaked out.
By 8.20am, she was experiencing bleeding but her pain had eased. At this time, the consultant discussed the risk of infection and sepsis with her, explaining the need to continuously check for a fetal heartbeat.
At the same time the following day – Tuesday, 23 October – Savita and Praveen asked about using medication to induce the inevitable miscarriage. According to the HSE report published after her death, they told the consultant they did not want a protracted waiting time when the outcome was inevitable.
They were advised of Irish law in relation to this request with the consultant recalling saying:
Under Irish law, if there’s no evidence of risk to the life of the mother, our hands are tied so long as there’s a fetal heart[beat].
The clinical plan to “await events” remained and Savita continued to be administered antibiotics while being examined throughout the day. She complained of ‘weakness’ during this time but was eating and drinking normally.
Praveen continued to stay with her through the days – and overnight on a camp bed.
At 4.15am on Wednesday 24 October, a midwife noted that Savita was feeling cold and shivery (the radiator in the room did not work and was documented as being “stone cold”). Both she and her husband asked for extra blankets and the midwife noticed Savita’s teeth were chattering. She was given paracetamol to manage her increased temperature.
By 7am, Savita was suffering from nausea and vomiting. Just over an hour later, the consultant’s team diagnosed chorioamnionitis (an inflammation of the fetal membranes due to infection). Their focus was to find the source of that infection and to give time for the prescribed medications to work.
The plan at this point was for Savita’s vital signs and fetal heart rate to be monitored. She was to be reviewed later with a view to induce labour once there was no fetal heartbeat present.
By 11.45am, the fetal heart had been checked and was still 148 beats per minute (within normal range).
Savita, by lunchtime, was also complaining of chest pain and had difficulty breathing.
Nurses had noted a sudden deterioration of her condition at about noon, and she was “very unwell” by 1.20pm.
Following a review by the consultant team, Savita was diagnosed with septic shock, with chorioamnionitis being considered as the cause.
After 2pm, the plan of treatment was noted to include a dosage of misoprostol, a drug used to induce delivery. However, it was never administered as there was a spontaneous delivery at 3.15pm in theatre, where she had been brought to have a central line inserted.
Praveen was taken into the operating theatre to be with his wife who was extremely upset about the miscarriage.
Savita was then transferred to the High Dependency Unit of the hospital.
Overnight, into Thursday 25 October, her condition continued to deteriorate. She needed increased oxygen and was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) at 3am.
She remained critically ill throughout the coming days. She was intubated, ventilated and her cardiac output was decreasing by Friday afternoon.
Despite ongoing measures by the ICU medical staff through to Saturday, Savita remained in critical condition – and deteriorating.
At 12.45am on Sunday, 28 October, Savita suffered a cardiac arrest.
At 1.09am – almost a full week from her presentation to the hospital – she was pronounced dead.
Fuck anyone who thinks women should be at risk of death to get an abortion.
>>49108What you call the weakest argument was the cause of death for this innocent woman, who could have been saved if doctors hadn't put the life of a parasite over the life of a woman. The possibility DOES exist, it's deadly and terrible, and you want to gamble with women's lives. People like you shouldn't exist, murderer.

If 0.01% of people die while operating heavy machinery, the solution is to make heavy machinery safer and its use more and more regulated until 0% of people die while operating heavy machinery, and most importantly not force anyone who has the feeling operating an heavy machine might be dangerous for them into operating it anyway at their own risk.
>The case your referring to has no bearing on countries which have legalized abortion
The case I am referring helped legalize abortion in a country where it was previously only legal in case of "substantial" risk of death for the mother, a stupid and completely inadequate legislation as evidenced by Savita's death.
>If a deteriorating condition and infection are not proof enough of danger to the mother, then that's a complete misjudgement of the situation and the doctors in question should be held to account.
And yet because Irish law required substantial risk of death before the doctors could intervene and Savita was not showing that, her danger was deemed not sufficient to warrant an abortion, and she died because of this stupid irrational thinking. Anyone who thinks a woman needs to be over an arbitrary danger threshold in order to get an abortion has gotten and is going to get women killed.

All your points are pro-life bullshit that want to deprive the woman of control over her own body, reduce her to the status of slave whose body is to be used for someone else's gain, control women's lives and punish them for having sex, as if you hate the idea of women enjoying sex exclusively for recreation. Which is retarded MRA bullshit, sex is not only for procreation as I have told you already. "I want women to take responsibility" is also pro-life bullshit as abortion IS taking responsibility, women who abort do the responsible thing toward themselves not letting their body be used for something they don't want and toward society not creating more unwanted people that will either end up in the foster system (putting a further strain on everyone else) or will end up abused and deficient because their mother hates them.
Women have the right to self-determine their lives, and that includes having all the recreational sex they want. Responsibility here is:
1) Educate people about pregnancy and birth control, especially the parasitic nature of the fetus.
2) Make birth control such as iuds and implants immediately and easily available for all women, minors included and without the need for parental approval. Teen girls have sex too and they are one of the most vulnerable group for unwanted pregnancy, being still vulnerable to the bullshit of pro-life parents.
3) Use birth control to avoid catching pregnancy. This is a preventive measure however, since the whole implantation process is not under the control of the woman, ie she cannot go inside herself and stop the offending egg/embryo/fetus from attaching to her uterus the moment it happens DESPITE precautions. This is an act that happens not because of the woman and is against the woman's will. If fetuses are human too they are offending humans that attack a woman who's not willing.
And once again because of the inalienable rights of self-determination and bodily autonomy, no human has the right to be inside another human who doesn't want them to be, nor can any human use another human's body and organs without that human's consent. You're gonna claim that sex is consent to pregnancy has you already have, but once again no, it isn't. Consent to sex is consent to sex, sex is not pregnancy, sex does not unavoidably end in pregnancy and consent to A is not consent to B, otherwise anytime a man has willing sex with a woman once, he is entitled to rape her all the other times, because her consent to the first time is automatic consent to any other time. Except it isn't, cretin.
If you think humans have the right to be inside other humans and use human bodies against someone's will under the cry of "but they'll die without it!", live up to your ideas and stop hoarding your organs, there's dying patients in need of lungs out there.

>>49147Genuinely curious, what do you think the age of consent should be?
Anonymous 49150
>>49148For minors having sex with other minors such as horny teenagers, there should be a close age exception such as no more than 2 years of difference between the individuals, so they are not punished for having a sexuality. Some countries put the starting point of these close age exceptions at 14, others at 15 or 16. I do not know enough about human psychology and healthy development to pick a specific age between these, so I'll just say the close age exceptions should be in this range.
Anyone over 18 should only be allowed to have sex only with other people over 18, and any attempt for someone over 18 to have sex with anyone under 18 should be considered rape.
Anonymous 49152
>>49147>But if she doesn't want to be pregnant she shouldn't have sex! No. Willingness to have sex is not willingness to be pregnant.
>But she knew she would get pregnant if she had sex!That's not guaranteed, not all sex results in pregnancy. Birth control especially makes pregnancy unlikely and shows a clear intent on the woman's part to NOT be pregnant.
A woman does not fully control her reproductive process. She cannot willingly decide when and if she has eggs in her uterus or not, and she does not control those eggs and their behavior. If that were possible, I would choose to never have eggs in my uterus and never have to deal with menstruation ever again. You want to hold her responsible for something she has no control over, that's unacceptable.
>But she could just not have sex! That's an unacceptable breach of her rights and limitation of her freedom. That's like saying you shouldn't have electricity in your house because there might be a short circuit. The possibility of undesired consequences cannot prevent legit beneficial use, and consensual sex is beneficial for a woman in a relationship as it strengthens and improves the bond between the couple. Just like the existence of undesired consequences does not justify forcing people to go through them, just because someone smokes doesn't mean if they get cancer they should just die of cancer. If people have the material possibility to rectify the course such as by getting an abortion, that is their right to. The life of the harmful, uncontrolled trespasser that is the fetus does not overtake the rights and freedom of the woman.

>>49095So you're saying people can't fight against a certain arbitrary amount of harm and pain inflicted on them by someone? If the harm and pain is below your arbitrary threshold, they should just take it and suffer?
That's what you are saying when you you talk about "proportion". At the basest the fetus always harms the woman by invading her bloodstream and stealing nutrients from her, and you don't think that's harm enough to warrant retaliation. So logically, as long as I'm not immediately causing you to die you think I can stab you and take your blood and you can do nothing about it, if you try to stop me if I will just keep doing it just like the fetus never withdraws from the woman's bloodstream.
Oh and you have no right to get me to stop by causing me more damage than I am causing you, that would be out of proportion. All you can do is put up with it and suffer. It's totally acceptable to inflict this kind of torture on you as you think it's acceptable to inflict this kind of torture on women.

>>49160If you want propose a close age exception for 17 years old having sex with 18 years old, that might be possible I guess, but as a rule it has to be very clear it's meant exclusively for those close ages so there's no exploitation of this rule by dirty old men who want to rape teenage girls.

>>49164It's a good system overall. Allows teenagers to have consensual sex with their peers in age so they don't have to unhealthily repress their sexuality, doesn't let predators take advantage of their inexperience.
Anonymous 49169
>>49165Although for me personally the age of consent for minors should be only relative to sex with other minors, with the exception of 17 year olds having sex with 18 year olds. For anyone over the age of 19, a minor cannot consent to sex with them, so sex with minors for people 19 years old and older is rape. This to protect the minor from exploitation.
So to answer your question, I think the age of consent overall should be 18, with close age exceptions for teenagers between ages 14 to 18. Meaning a 14 year old can have sex with a 14, 15 or a 16 year old, a 15 year old can have sex with a 14, 15 or 16 year old, a 16 year old can have sex with a 15, 16 or 17 year old, a 17 year old can have sex with a 16, 17 or 18 year old, and an 18 year old can have sex with a 17 year old or with anyone 18 or older.

What a joke age on consent is. As far as nature is concerned, there are only 2 stages of life. Prepubescent and post-pubescent. Anything else is a made up line that most people just mindlessly believe the "correct" age is whatever culture they were born into. Europe has pretty much universally lower ages of consent then america and wouldn't you know it, the entire continent didn't get vaporized over it. In fact it's got far lower rates of sex related crime than america.

Depriving women of the right to abort if they want to reduces them to being nothing but bodies for other people to use, exactly as they are considered in those countries. In countries where women are considered more than incubators, abortion always benefits the woman, since it's her choice exclusively. No man can force a woman to abort if she doesn't want to just like no man can force a woman to keep a pregnancy if she doesn't want to.

Women in India DO have rights to abort, and are still mainly aborting females. Not as liberal as the West, but they do nonetheless.

>>49264>I am simply trying to find at what point we have control over this process. Never. Welcome to being a woman.
>when exactly do I get control in this process? Never?If you're not willing to to abort, yeah. Abortion is the moment a woman directly controls what is in her uterus by removing whatever she doesn't want to be there.
You can sterilize yourself removing your ovaries and/or your uterus, but that's not an option for women who don't want children now but want them later in their lives.
>Women in India DO have rights to abortNot exactly. Women in developing countries have the social obligation to abort if their husband wants them to abort, but they don't have it recognized the right to choose for themselves which pregnancies they want to keep and which ones they don't. If an Indian woman wants to abort a son and keep a daughter, you can bet she's not allowed to do that. That's not "her body, her choice" as it is in the West.
>are you stating that the women in India and other developing countries are being physically forced to get abortions by men?They're being coerced by abusive husbands and abusive families, yes. In developing countries the man is usually the breadwinner and that gives him huge leverage to coerce the woman into doing what he wants, as he can simply cut her off his money and make her destitute and homeless if she refuses to obey. Society tolerates this because in people's eyes it's the woman's fault for not being obedient.

>You're yourself, if you're your owner you're even supporting a mind duallism blah blah blahYou're talking crazy, dude. Cut off your finger. Whose finger is it? Is is still yours or is it some stranger's fingers suddenly?
What part of "there's nothing proportional in pregnancy" don't you understand? The woman is extremely at disadvantage being at the mercy of an entity that's inside herself and has access to her organs. Try getting someone to stab you and shove a tube into you to draw blood from you 24/7. You cannot get the tube out without killing your torturer. That's the only comparable situation to pregnancy, and killing in that situation is absolutely proportional because the torture isn't stopping without the death of the torturer and anyone has the right to stop such a serious and violating threat. You refuse to accept the reality of pregnancy and want to torture people.
>it was put there against its willNo. Nobody took an embryo and shoved it inside the woman and the woman did not take her egg in her hands and shoved it in her vagina either. It was already there waiting for a chance to attack.
>It wasn't what you said in the first placeNeither did you. You think being a life is all that matters, but it's not.
>most of them aren't in dangerYOU are putting them in danger by denying them safe abortions, cretin.
I am a woman and I know how pregnancy is depends entirely on the woman and how she feels about it. Unwanted pregnancies are absolutely not tolerable for the victims who have to suffer them, that's why many women would rather risk death than suffer an unwanted pregnancy. You don't decide how another woman feels.
>I didn't say thatYes you did. You keep dismissing the harm the woman suffers as not important.

>>49304>A very basic natural right that pretty much every living person agrees with is that humans are not property.Yes, in the sense that no human can own ANOTHER human, because slavery is built on the idea that a person does not belong to himself or herself but to someone else who has legal ownership over them. Persons who are enslaved do not have the freedom to direct their own actions, and the idea that humans can't be property is to ensure people have the freedom to do just that, direct their own actions under their own will and not someone else's will.
Self-ownership is is the moral or natural right of a person to have bodily integrity and be the exclusive controller of one's own body and life. Without self-ownership, a human is a just a slave. You're either a retard or acting completely in bad faith if you refuse this.

Nah, women's labor is purposely devalued, even in important fields like medicine (see: Russia, where since most doctors are women, the job isn't taken as seriously). The "Most women stay home" thing is used to deflect from the true. Either fix the issues of capitalism, and also kill the supply/demand mantra as it pertains to sex trafficking, or we're going to have to think of something else.
>no more fat positivity
I'll take this, and raise you one more: Enforce fat negativity on men. Stop pretending Seth Rogen's body looks healthy or normal. Heavily shame "dad bods". When a fat man has the gall to appear on screen for anything besides custodial work, call him out for normalizing obesity. Widely pan any movies or shows that portray the ugly fat guy dating a beautiful woman. It's not realistic, it's an eyesore of wish fulfillment. If we're booing Amy Schumer, cancel any fat fuck of a male comedian who can't shut up about his rancid dick. Fat men are a strain on the health industry, and society as a whole. We need to stop letting them hide behind their sex. Until restriction-type eating disorders are just as prevalent with men as they are with women, there is a gross imbalance.
>Stop thinking that people that disagree with feminism because they are stupid
They literally are. Anti-feminists typically just hate women, or they're completely ignorant on what it entails. We've all seen their arguments, there's no mistaking it.

>2 Stop with this brainless anti-capitalistic mentality: I'm not saying that feminism should embrace laissez-faire capitalism or anything, just stop believing that the economic system is the root of all evil.
Capitalism may not be the root of all evil, but it is quite literally the root of sexism, misogyny, and the social and economic dehumanization of women as individuals and as a class. Even while "advancements" towards the liberation of women have been made within the last few centuries, the ways which sexism is expressed have changed into modern formats. They didn't leave.
>Nothing has saved more lives than capitalism, nothing has freed more women than it nothing has made so many powerful women than capitalism.
Under capitalism, women were allowed to be owned as legal property for centuries (Google "coverture") because they were considered subhuman to men. Also under capitalism at various points in time, women:
>were forced to be mothers with no option to not have children, nor to receive any form of birth control or contraceptive
>were sold or traded as a commodities
>weren't taught to read or write as girls, while boys were
>couldn't express romantic or sexual desires without being killed
>couldn't spend money without their husband's legal permission, or sometimes at all
>couldn't have a job and were forced to stay at home
>couldn't walk in public without a male partner present
>weren't legally defended from being beaten or raped by men
>weren't allowed to get a formal education (many establishments were sex-separated for a long while)
>were denied access to any mental health assistance, and often were institutionalized for demanding rights
When you speak vaguely about these supposed benefits that capitalism brings to women, what specifically are you talking about? Capitalism, in function, subjugates women. It continues to today.
>Take the gender gape, for instance. It's real and something should change. But how? Forcing companies to pay the same won't work, that will just make women unimployed. Most of the gap is explained because women have to work at home, what makes them work less hours. We should make men share house duties, not punish companies because they want to profit.
The exact issue you describe is caused by the way capitalism subjugates people, socially, politically, and economically, as classes - "female" being one of those classes. You can't solve a problem created by capitalism by attempting to regulate the capitalism; you must remove that function of the system if you wish for the issue to be eradicated and to not arise once again in the future of your economy. For example, if modern capitalism reached a point where there was no wage gap between white men and white women, even if it created a wage gap and discrepancy in various earnings between white women and nonwhite women who contributed the same amount to the workforce, would you consider that to be "feminist?" I personally wouldn't, because feminism is about women, and I refuse to support any economic function which discriminates against any women.
>Another part of it is explained because, well, women get pregnant. Want to work more (and earn more)? Don't have children. Ain't that hard.
Here is where the selfishness and carelessness of pro-capitalist ideology is revealed - do you not care about the rights or lives of girls and women who live in areas of the world where they are not legally defended from sexual assault and rape, and have no access to birth control or contraceptives? If face to face, would you say to those women (who are just as much victims of social and economic sexism and misogyny as you are) "just don't get pregnant, it's easy!"? It "ain't that hard" for you because you experience a degree of privilege that allows you to never face a struggle which many women do face.
In all honesty, I don't know how anyone who considers themselves anti-sexism and anti-misogyny can support capitalism. The struggle for women is inherently and inseparably tied to class, and the struggles of various other classes, like women of color and disabled women.

>>51157My first attempt to answer this post was too harsh, so I decided to rewrite it from the scratch in order to make it as polite as yours. I’m sorry if is still too harsh on you, it’s just that tankies seem to lack any knowledge on History (as well as in Economics, Philosophy, Political Theory, etc, though you guys are even worse in History) and have a hard time putting them above Fascists. If you lived in a non-capitalis country you would understand, I bet.
> it is quite literally the root of sexism, misogyny, and the social and economic dehumanization of women as individuals and as a classWhat? Are you implying capitalism created any of these problems? Sexism is older than the written history while capitalism only truly begun after the XVIII century. Since then, things got better, despite what your favorite tankie blogger told you.
> Even while "advancements" towards the liberation of women have been made within the last few centuries, the ways which sexism is expressed have changed into modern formats.Are you implying these advancements are empty? And that they are not impart because of capitalism? Come on. Just compare all the rights women used to have not so long ago and now. Also compare the rights women have on capitalist liberal democracies and in countries that adopt other systems.
> , women were allowed to be owned as legal property for centuries (Google "covertureAs I said, a far older problem. Coverture started during the middle ages. It was only disappeared during the peak of capitalism in the XIX Century (and as OP said, no one is supporting a Dickensian Capitalism, though parts of China look similar to what Dickens described on that time)
>all these problemsAgain. 1 None of them were created by capitalism. 2 They were all mitigated by capitalism. 3 They aren’t as prominent in the capitalist countries as in non-capitalist countries even now.
Among other benefits:
It allowed more women live. Now there’s more food, more medical assistance and more education than ever for women (especially on the capitalist countries). Until not so long ago women live less and received less education than men. Now, even if we started later men are lag behind on these subjects. There’s a lot to do. Indeed. But things have changed for better.
>but US healthUS doesn’t have an universal healthcare system (even Hayek and Friedman said there should be one) and the government spends more there than in any other country with health. You can blame Capitalism for it? Well, sort of. But also government incompetency. No one is saying that Ayn Rand should be the new name of Feminism, and countries even more capitalist than US, like Switzerland, Singapore and Hong Kong have the best systems in the world.
How capitalism did this could make an entire book, and this post is already long enough.
> You can't solve a problem created by capitalism by attempting to regulate the capitalism;Again, it wasn’t created by capitalism. Just compare how it was 300 years ago. Women had 15 children, 11 of them died and youngest died with her. On the other hand now there are more women than ever on the top of large companies and political positions. Oddly enough, most of these also endorse capitalism. See Thatcther, the first female to be in charge of a relevant country (Ok, there was Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, but that makes my point even stronger) or Angela Merkel now. The richest country in Europe has been governed by a highly conservative, capitalist supporter women for like 15 years.
That being said, as Hayek said, endorsing capitalism means progressivism! Take the first wave of feminism, for exemple.
> For example, if modern capitalism reached a point where there was no wage gap between white men and white women, even if it created a wage gap and discrepancy in various earnings between white women and nonwhite women who contributed the same amount to the workforce, would you consider that to be "feminist?"It depends at how is this gap created. The government does have it’s role to mitigate this problem (ie. Giving education health, even taxing the rich more, though US, for exemple, has the most progressive taxation of the OECD), but if this inequality is created by the voluntary relations I can’t see why it’s unfair. People choose those who are rich and those who aren’t. Not always, but in the cases where they are free to do so, it’s not unfair. People are different. I don’t think blacks are less smart than, but there are many reasons that go far beyond capitalism for the race gap.
> Here is where the selfishness and carelessness of pro-capitalist ideology is revealedWell, too many problems here. First. Forcing people to be solidary and work for the others seem even worse than being selfish. Again, let’s not make Ayn Rand our feminist symbol, Elinor Ostrom will do. Men and women are biologically different. Both sides have advantages. There’s no way to have equality here without making terrible incentives and being quite unethical. Equality before law, where everyone can pursue their objectives is far more important than material equality. People have different interests and different capacities. They will be different, and if they don’t the lack of incentives will make us all poor.
This post is just too long and I don't feel like answering the rest, but TL;DR: you didn't mentioned problems caused by capitalism (they do exist) and misunderstood most of the history of the last few centuries.

>>51219Ah, Thomas Sowell.
>From 1965 to 1969, Sowell was an assistant professor of economics at Cornell University. Writing thirty years later about the 1969 "violent" takeover by black Cornell students of Willard Straight Hall, Sowell characterized the students as "hoodlums" with "serious academic problems [and] admitted under lower academic standards" and noted "it so happens that the pervasive racism that black students supposedly encountered at every turn on campus and in town was not apparent to me during the four years that I taught at Cornell and lived in Ithaca."
>Sowell also writes on racial topics and is a critic of affirmative action and race-based quotas. On the topic of affirmative action, Sowell has stated: "One of the few policies that can be said to harm virtually every group in a different way… Obviously, whites and Asians lose out when you have preferential admission for black students or Hispanic students—but blacks and Hispanics lose out because what typically happens is the students who have all the credentials to succeed in college are admitted to colleges where the standards are so much higher that they fail."
>In Intellectuals and Race (2013), Sowell argues that intelligence quotient (IQ) gaps are hardly startling or unusual between, or within, ethnic groups. He notes that the roughly 15-point gap in contemporary black–white IQ scores is similar to that between the national average and the scores of certain ethnic white groups in years past, in periods when the nation was absorbing new immigrants.
>Critics such as Hampton University economist Bernadette Chachere, Harvard University sociologist William Julius Wilson, social scientist Richard Coughlin, Stanford law professor Richard Thompson Ford, and Pulitzer Prize winner Steven Pearlstein have been critical of his work. Criticisms include lack of citations in some works, failure to explain a 70% difference between the earnings of whites and non-whites in an article, failure to take into account discrimination against women at work, poor methodology, and downplaying racism while caricaturing and then attacking liberal theories.And quite possibly the best addition:
>Sowell has said that he was a Marxist "during the decade of my 20s"; one of his earliest professional publications was a sympathetic examination of Marxist thought vs. Marxist–Leninist practice.Is it really shocking that a pro-capitalist feminist is self-hating?

Unlike a tranny, the only reason they aren't women is because they're not adults yet. If they're born, they will be girls, which you also need to have been at one point to be a woman.
You're not a woman because you have XY chromosomes, and you're also not a girl. You will never grow into being female, a woman or a girl. That's just the reality of things.

Let’s make the peo…
I agree with the whole post except one point:
>Stop with this brainless anti-capitalistic mentality
No. Class society is the root of most inequality, and has been since the beginning of what we know as society. The gender wage gap would not exist under socialism. With the eradication of class society, we shall know true freedom, and this will allow women to truly be able to have a REAL chance at genuine equality. It is impossible in the realm of class society. We can try to make things better, and we will try very hard, but it will never be equal in class society. I firmly believe that a poor white man is at a greater disadvantage than, say, a rich woman of color like Beyonce. Beyonce still experiences sexism, she still suffers as a woman, but you are fooling yourself if you think she is worse off than a poor or homeless man. Class, to me(!) is more important than gender. Unfortunately some socialist men who take this stance think it's a free pass to be sexist towards any women they see as more "privileged" than them, but regardless of class misogyny does affect women.
I am not a 'class reductionist' by any means, but with the introduction of socialism, along would come everything material that feminism demands. The social demands would come easier as well, due to everyone being provided for and earning just wages, with no room for anyone to be discriminated against as a worker due to their sex or race. Class dictates a woman's opportunities.

>>51776The USSR was in a "transitioning" state of capitalism, some refer to it as state capitalism, but it was not yet socialist, and especially not communist. In spirit, yes, they were socialist, but the actual economic system was that of capitalism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stage_theory>The two-stage theory, or stagism, is a Marxist–Leninist political theory which argues that underdeveloped countries such as Tsarist Russia must first pass through a stage of capitalism via a bourgeois revolution before moving to a socialist stage.>In Marxist–Leninist theory under Joseph Stalin, the theory of two stages gained a revival >Marx and Engels argue that Western capitalism provides the technological advances necessary for socialism and the "grave diggers" of the capitalist class in the form of the working classThe USSR was still part of class society. This is a major source of arguments amongst leftists. Most leftists I meet these days hate the USSR and see it as a capitalist state that masqueraded as socialist.
>Look at the women in commie China now. China has not achieved socialism, nor have they achieved communism. Communism is a stateless, classless society that requires worldwide effort and cooperation, ran entirely by the people. China is similar to the USSR–they are socialists ideologically, yet the means of production aren't owned by the workers which means they as a country are not socialist yet.
It's funny that anti-China people go "ree socialist countries are poor and all garbage" yet China is prospering economically. And if I call China economically capitalist, they attribute all of China's success on capitalism..
>How is killing female babies helping women?It's not. The one-child policy has not been in place for years, and during China's one child policy, most girls were simply not reported to officials, rather than killed or aborted. As many as 25 million unreported females may exist as they are now popping up on government records as they get older.

>>51776>>51777Samefag but: You argue that capitalism has done wonders for women, yet the same can be said for countries that were ruled by socialists.
As soon as China was led by socialists, a wave of feminist laws were enacted and tons of sexist practices were outlawed. Foot-binding was banned, women were allowed and encouraged to enter the workforce along with men and granted equal pay, concubines were banned, arranged marriages were banned, prostitution was banned, and hey, even porn ended up being banned. Women went from commodities to human beings with the introduction of socialist leadership!
Now, what has capitalism done? Great, we're not living under feudalism, sure, but capitalism still allows for women to be commodities, it still allowed for women to not have any say in anything and locked away inside the home until the 20th century. Women now have to work or they starve, and half the women I know my age are cam girls or prostitutes otherwise they will be homeless. How lovely. At least in China there is UBI and social programs to keep people fed and sheltered even if they aren't working.
All the "feminist" successes you've attributed to capitalism has nothing to do with capitalism. There is nothing about capitalism that is related to social emancipation of anyone. Capitalism is purely about the bourgeoisie enslaving the proletariat class. For a long time, only bourgeois women were exercising these "rights" that you claim capitalism granted them. Even now, bourgeois women are applauding "girlbosses" as if that's something to strive for, as if exploiting other people including women is a feminist act. All while POOR WOMEN are still being fucked over, still being trafficked, still being forced to prostitute, still experiencing far higher rates of rape and violence and unwanted pregnancies with NO means to access proper birth control methods.

I mentioned on /hb/ this point. The "normalization" culture is justified sometimes justified, but should work the other way around often.
No, women shouldn't stop shaving/waxing because that makes us "strong" or whatever just because most men don't do this. In fact, the change should be: men should start shaving and waxing too.
There are many other exemples, another anon mentioned a few: having low standards and just sleeping with everyone that ins't morbid obese, like men do isn't helping women at all IMO. It would be better if men actually were more selective and didn't care about sex as much as they do (though one may argue that it's not 100% their fault, that's how their bodies work). Smoking and binge drinking isn't setting you free, again it's the other way around. Men should drink less, not women should drink more (even if, again, since their bodies allow them to drink on average more, things will never ve 100%¨equal).

It seems to me that demanding other people change is not really realistic. Shaving and waxing is an aesthetic choice - in fact, it's actually pretty localized geographically; Asians barely shave or wax at all.
I don't see why men and women need to be exactly the same in every way. They're not the same. One has extra bits up stacked up top and the other extra bits hanging off the bottom, one is able to have kids the other is insanely more strong. Women can be strong without being men, because women aren't men. Whether you achieve it through changing women or changing men entirely misses the point because if you're going to become strong by becoming similar to a man, then you're still defining strength as masculinity.
>>56585Well it's stress relief, sort of like how some men airbox if they're angry. They can either do that or hold their anger in in until it explodes and they abuse a real person. Much healthier for them to get it out of their system than to walk around with a growing bomb in their brain.
