    Things are already equal. Toxic masculinity comes from toxic femininity. Toxic femininity comes from toxic masculinity. It’s been like that forever, but we raised the living standard enough so now we can argue about this with our excess spare time.

    Also, it is another way of divide and conquer to make sure that we keep fighting each other and not the billionaire class who needs to be defeated if you want to have a world in 20 years from now.

    The quantum head fuck Is that men and women have always been equal in a weird way and at the same time equality can never be achieved because giving birth was given to one of the two sexes and not the other.

    When it comes to class warfare, equality can be achieved.

    Because while intelligence and skill and talent may not be equally distributed, the right to live is.

      The problems with deciding things are “equal-ish” have already been well addressed, so I just want to point out - just because the billionaire class might use a topic as a wedge issue against us doesn’t excuse us from working to fix it.

      They might be setting fire to houses as a distraction, but the houses are still on fire. The people inside can’t wait for us to find and deal with whoever hired the arsonists.

        I completely agree with you, and that’s a great analogy.

        Cartoons like this post aren’t helping the firemen and women though. And if it isn’t helping them, who is it helping?

          The only reason someone says my friend is cause they think your an idiot. It’s like saying bless your heart.

          And considering what you said… Yeah… Oof
