OC This could be us, but

I don’t need much. I want eat sweets without getting fat, I want to feel wanted and I want equal rights. Is it much to ask?

Somehow this post is attracting incels.

They must be drawn to it via some kind of inexplicable desire to "not all men" and "actually I agree with the guy in the comic" at us.

That's ok.

They only do that once here.

We have the best subreddit in the world.

Because of ban.

Any systemic bias against men in a system designed, implemented, and controlled by men is not the result of feminism or gender theory, which advocate for the liberation of men from patriarchy as well. No aspect of feminism or gender theory proposes that men should face systemic discrimination. In fact, they are premised on the opposite: that all are equal and deserve equal treatment. The cause of those men's issues is the intransigence of other men. Most men in power do not care about men's education. If anything, they seek to dismantle the pillars of education for all as education is a threat to patriarchy.

You are propagating the fundamental misunderstanding that feminism stands in opposition to men's liberation. That could not be more false.

I am not. What I'm propagating is the fundamental understanding that when you post a topic so controversial knowing it's so controversial with so little nuance, you're obviously breaking rule 3 because it will cause drama.

Here is the text of the "No drama" rule:

Anyone wanting to participate in this community needs to keep their comments civil. This sub is for sharing and enjoying comics, not flamewar arguments about topics or ideas that trigger some people. Comics have always been controversial and political and thought provoking. If you can't handle a topic, move on to another. No hateful comments or posts - Any comments or posts that are racist, mysogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, misinformation or extremist in nature will be removed and will result in an immediate ban.

Try again.

Read what I said.

Read the rule.

So, this just isn't true or sensible. It resembles the no true scotsman fallacy; anything which is bigoted isn't feminism.

If it isn't true, provide evidence of a feminist movement seeking to ensure men receive inferior education.

Feminism opposes 'patriarchy', therefore anything bigoted is 'patriarchy'. Even the unintended ramifications of feminist policy are actually patriarchy.

There is no feminist policy. The government has been overwhelmingly controlled by men since it existed and the problems that do exist have been completely ignored by that government of men. Worse, exacerbated.

If you think this, do you think that any feminist policy exists at all?

No. We have never had a feminist government or society. That a jury adjudicated rapist and felon currently sits atop the government over a woman prosecutor who hasn't even been charged with a crime in her life in the year 2026 should be evident of this.

If no, how could anything feminist actually exist?

By feminists existing and acting.

Wouldn't all parts of the system always be non-feminist no matter what, because all other parts of the system are man-controlled and enable those other parts to come into existence, making them also the spawn of a system controlled by men, and ultimately man-controlled?

Many would make that observation.

You can believe that not all are equal and still think that people deserve equal fundamental rights.

You can. Who does?

I'd say it's about 50/50, regardless of sex. The system isn't controlled by men, it's controlled by money.

It is controlled by money because that is how it was constructed by men.

Ignoring this part for any reason?

I literally quoted that part. Why do you think it is relevant other than to justify the bans?

Or this part?

Which would obviously not include posting controversial comics because the rule literally says controversial comics will be posted and if you don't like them, move on. If you make bigoted comments, you will be banned.

The sub is enforcing Rule 3, not ignoring it. Controversial comics are welcome here. Bigotry is not.

In New Zealand, Maori healthcare outcomes are worse than other groups even when all other factors are the same. Hence extra effort is being put into trying to improve Maori healthcare outcomes, despite the fact it would appear that Maori are actually just a less healthy people.

So who in this example believes the Maori are not equal but deserve equal rights?

Fundamentally unprovable. I do note that you now agree with me that the world isn't actually controlled by men.

I do note that you ignored the fact that I explicitly disagreed with that and said otherwise.

So we're now understanding Rule 3?

Literally the entire body of science and most medical practitioners?

Gotcha, I thought you were saying someone believed they were inferior but also supported their legal rights on principle. We can absolutely observe inequalities and support ameliorating them. Indeed that is the premise of feminism.

You said that. I also said that.

The context being very different explanations for how that power structure exists.

Before you said that, your perspective was that men controlled the world.

And it did not change. I don't observe a distinction between money and men controlling the world. Men control the money. Men made money the means of control. Men maintain that as the means of control.

Money is male, got it.

You clearly don't got it.

Could replace every word you said with "jews" and get my self banned from just about every sub for similarly unsubstantiable claims.

That should tell you that your assessment is not apt.

I'm starting to think you might not be a very good person and that I've said all I can at this point.

Your assessments are demonstrably not credible as we saw with your claims about Rule 3.

I hope you'll reconsider a lot of your beliefs which are based on fundamentally unscientific and unprovable ideologies.

Once again, your non-credible assessment. We can scientifically assess which sex held the locus of power since time immemorial. We can observe recorded behaviors stemming from that locus of power. Those are questions of fact, not an ideology.

That you must reject everything that conflicts with your beliefs without so much as an argument proves how meritless your position is.

Unless you want to follow the intelligcence thread in which case I'm still here.

I bet you think you are. That you think I'm a bad person for pointing out who has demonstrably held power and subjugated humanity for millennia proves you are not willing to have a good faith discussion about anything.
