Anyone who opposes special treatment for women gets vilified.

Equality is an absolute joke until this misandry goes away.

Yeah. I don’t put the pussy on a pedestal. I bury it in the ground and then kick it once for good measure. Damn pussy. Teach you to fuck with the patriarchy.

How many women are we talking about here?

All women?  
All but a hand full women?  
Most women?  
Some women?  
I know of a woman who…?

Also can you give us an example of what your talking about? It’s easier to pile on if we have a focal point.

Any one incident you’re thinking of, or did you just need to get this off your chest?

Maybe you’re being vilified because of the way that you’re expressing your view that Policy A is unfair, rather than your view in itself. You know how women get.

Just joking oh God please don’t kill me nooooo…

Women should be put on a pedestal. One high enough that you can look up her dress.

Is this another one of those, “if women truly want equality, why can’t they carry their own packages” threads?

I guess this is in the Pit to spare you the effort of backing this up with anything resembling an example.

Oh noes, who would ask a woman to do that?

When a woman carries her own packages, the patriarchy wins.

Typical anti-equality bullshit.  
You write like someone whose balls were cut off and stored away in a jar. Of course if you’re a woman you write like a selfish self-serving idiot.

Gotta cover all bases just in case, ya know. 😃

Obviously, **Le Jacquelope** is not a James Brown fan.
