it's not as rampant in more developed countries, but there are still places out there where women are treated like sht. even in the past almost all religions seem to dictate that woman are number 2. i think religion might be solely responsible for this injustice because most religious texts place men on a higher pedestal. before we were born, religion gave the world rules and stuff about how to live so people followed it because they thought they would go to hell or not get 72 virgins or whatever. these laws were used to oppress women and make them serve man it seems, so religion is to blame for the rampant discrimination of women. what do you think?

Well, the obvious conclusion would be the dominance of man over woman, especially in the past (pre-technology), was due to the physical advantages man had over woman (stronger upper body, greater endurance, overall superior strength). But, I realize its more fun to grasp at a reason to bash on religion in GS OT, so, let the fun continue without reason and logic getting in the way.

Man exerted himself over woman due to his physical advantages. He then re-enforced that dominance when he wrote his religious texts. Conclusion: Men have historically maintained a status of superiority over women, and religion is just one tool used for that end. I try to get against women all the time. Unfortunately, they usually move away so I can't. Are you against religion?

While I don't want to jump onto the religion-bashing-bandwagon, in the context of Gaza you're certainly largely correct. A very rigid form of Islam is dominant in Gaza, which leads to circumstances not being too peachy for women there (although many of them perhaps pay it no mind, they're "used to it", as it were).

Women being second class is a thing of the past. Whether the reason is religion or not, the fact is women are capable of doing what ever a man can in most scenarios. I also want to point out that feminism is stupid as hell too. Those kinds of women don't help their cause, they make it worse.

That's true, but with widespread support among the "Palestinians" in Gaza for Hamas and other like-minded Islamist movements, the outlook for the future isn't too bright with respect to legitimate equality between men and women. In other words, Gaza has regressed in past years with respect to becoming more religiously rigid. I think that's a really bad thing. Perhaps you think otherwise.

It's definitely a thing of the past in countries like America, with so-called feminists perpetually chasing after the phantom of "gender inequality" as Don Quixote battled the windmills. Around much of the world, however, it's not a thing of the past.

funny how you people assume and all. Hamas try not to limit liberties simply because it wants to be accepted by the international community, despite the crap you hear them saying for obvious lobbying and loyalty reasons. Again Gaza is not the west, but when it comes to liberties its ok to an extent.

Even though discrimination is outlawed in America, sexism (against women and against men) is still pervasive. And that's not benign in the slightest because of its social repercussions. So no, feminism is still important.

Yea, thats my point with the feminists, they only make the notion that women aren't equal, when statistically its not true (in developed countries). Unfortunately, third world countries still think following their religion blindly is how the real world works, thus women there don't really know any better...

Sexism still exists in the supposedly developed countries, religion is still used as an excuse and a tool to keep women 'in their place'. The religious excuse that women are 'unclean' and 'inferior' doesn't hold any water now that humans are gradually developing intellects instead of being led by delusional males who spout lies and ignorance while enforcing their whole 'males rule, females obey!' nonsense. Both sexes and genders are neither superior nor inferior to one another, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Both male and female are able to work together and share their individual capabilities to improve things for everyone. If the whole 'males only' mentality would stop being enforced so much in not just developed countries, but all over the world. Religion has no place if it won't move beyond the ignorance of the past.

Oh come on. Things have become much more rigid in Gaza since Hamas came to power in 2005. If you're trying to sell us some sort of message that Gaza isn't oppressive because it's more free than, say, North Korea, you should take your message elsewhere. Although "Palestinian" and the broader Arab/Muslim societies have never really been a beacon of freedom or liberty in recent centuries, Gaza has regressed further into totalitarianism. Consider that when Hamas "won" the elections in Gaza in 2005, that was the last election. This idea that Hamas is acquiescing to non-existent international pressure and not "limiting freedoms" to adhere to non-existent international norms is ridiculous. The "international community" (i.e. Obama and Cameron, primarily) continue to feed and clothe these "Palestinians" while they don't adhere to any standards of behaviour (i.e. terrorism and indoctrination of hate continue unabashedly). It's the theatre of the absurd. I'll agree with you on one thing, Gaza is better than Pakistan and Afghanistan with respect to civil liberties, but is that really a benchmark to be proud of?

Absolutely. Many non-religious/atheistic countries also place unjustified discrimination against women - i.e. communist nations. The entire premise of women being discriminated against systemically in America and other Western countries from the leftists and their feminist compatriots is a complete lie. If anything, there are areas in our societies where men are unjustifiably discriminated against. Let's start a new movement, we'll call is "masculinism".

women have been second class all over the world pretty much everywhere and anywhere in our whole history. Sure there maybe the odd exception but you cant blame it on religion. By saying its religions fault you are saying all of them make women look bad which is a lie.

When older, white men predominately make legislation on women's issues, there will still be sexism. Like now.

Women make about 82 cents on the dollar compared tomen in the US, depending on which study you see.

So you think women earning less than men on average is sufficient evidence of unjustifiable discrimination against women in America? You don't think it could have anything to do with, say, biology? There's this thing in life called pregnancy, and it discriminates against women, since it doesn't affect men. Considering that the average amount of children an American woman has over the course of her lifetime is two-point-something, do you think that might have something to do with women being a little bit below men when it comes to average earnings due to interrupted career development? In other words, if I have a female coworker and we are both competing for the same job promotion, but she has missed over one year of work over the past five years (due to pregnancy), and I've missed nothing, who do you think is in a better position to secure the promotion? The bottom line - don't underestimate the role biology plays as an interrupting force to career progression for women. If you have a problem with it, go blame the way the world was built, but don't blame the boogeyman of "sexism".

...It certainly doesn't affect men - that is, men who leave most of the child-rearing and housekeeping to their partners, even if their partners also have careers. And a lot of families in America are like that.

You also fail to notice that many women (not all) face discrimination in regards to promotion - and I'm not just talking about mothers. Sexism, as I have said, is still pervasive, And it has real consequences.

Sexism is certainly not "still pervasive" in America and other Western nations. It's just a political phantom monster chased by the left and feminism in order to justify their cries for "equality" and "justice". Just because you keep repeating the narrative doesn't make it true.

But that's just ******** propaganda! It can't possibly be true.

I know there is definitely some sexism involved in that, but there is also the fact that some men can simply outwork their female counterparts at their job.

...It certainly doesn't affect men - that is, men who leave most of the child-rearing and housekeeping to their partners, even if their partners also have careers. And a lot of families in America are like that.

You also fail to notice that many women (not all) face discrimination in regards to promotion - and I'm not just talking about mothers. Sexism, as I have said, is still pervasive, And it has real consequences.

Sexism is certainly not "still pervasive" in America and other Western nations. It's just a political phantom monster chased by the left and feminism in order to justify their cries for "equality" and "justice". Just because you keep repeating the narrative doesn't make it true.

I was about to try to see things your way, but since you politicized the issue and brought your political bias, there's no reason to bother.

Men still get paid more than women for the same work. That's not politics, either. It's economics. Although, it wouldn't be outlandish to say that politics do influence that sort of thing somewhat.

[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"] But that's just ******** propaganda! It can't possibly be true.jimkabrhel

I know there is definitely some sexism involved in that, but there is also the fact that some men can simply outwork their female counterparts at their job.

In what industries/careers?

Anything. Like I said, I'm not denying sexism, but it is also the case that men can simply outwork females. I don't see why that's an impossible scenario.

Especially when it comes to physical labor jobs. Most men are stronger and can therefore be more productive at their job, so you pay them more.

When older, white men predominately make legislation on women's issues, there will still be sexism. Like now.

Women make about 82 cents on the dollar compared tomen in the US, depending on which study you see.

What about sectors where women are grossly overepresented, like nursing and teaching? Those are both generally secure and high-paying careers. Is that evidence of sexism against men? What about custody rights overwhelmingly being given to mothers? Is that evidence of sexism against men? Things are not so simple, we need to look at things on a case by case basis. This narrative of sexism against women being "still pervasive" in America being "proven" by lowers average earnings among women when compared to men is ridiculous. There are almost always reasons for these disparities that have nothing to do with discrimination against women. Ask yourselves honestly, how many men do you know that are genuinely chauvinistic and will give other men advantages over women simply because of their sex? What sorts of businesses are discriminating against better-qualified women simply to give advantages to men? It's ridiculous. It's a phantom monster chased by the left and feminism, and several of your have swallowed this lie whole without taking the time to chew.

It has nothing to do with religion.

And yeah, fvck feminism. It made sense in its early years, now it's a ridiculous farce and most so-called feminists are huge hypocrites.
