Yeah, but woman did.

On that note, women werent being forced to go fight foreigners in the middle ages either.

No woman was ever levied, handed a pike and forced to fight.

Yesterday it was impossible to get some BBQ food in the markets, as literally every single man went there buying meat and beer...

And what a luck, itīs raining now and theyīve issued a thunderstorm warning for central Germany now... So I guess we gotta scrap the plan to walk to the next town and just go by train...

Dying when a building collapses on you in the london blitz is easy.

Dying from a bullet wound on a battle field surrounded by other dying mean, screaming in help as people die all around, waiting for 8 hous but help never comes.......

Compared to pregnancy.

While I enjoy the free day, I think it is kinda stupid to have the ritual heavy drinking on that day. I mean - the excuse "today is men's day, so we have to drink" is rather pathetic.

Just drink whenever you want

The funny part is my earlier posts aren't joking. When people say how unfair pregnancy is for women, I really have trouble being sympathetic when they make such rediculous gender biased statments.

The only problem is that women are now also allowed in the army. And I'm sure if they had been allowed earlier, they'd have been "glad" to suffer the same things in battle, probably with a little rape thrown in too. So

Name me one, and I can name you ten that still give preferential treatment to men.

So why is it women, on average, still get a lot less pay for the same work as their male counterparts?

you guys might not believe this, as you call me a misogynist, but I do consider myself a feminist.

I'm am absolutely horrified at the conditions women have to put up with in this world and in my country. I hate gender roles, and I wish those would just go away.

And I'm greatly concerned that the trend has reversed itself from the strides made in the 60's and 70's. Women are expected to act like hos and dress like them as well. The treatment of women in mass media and especially rap music lyrics is absolutely horrible. But the worst part is that women are okay with this. They seem to have accepted their place in society. No one wants to be a feminist anymore.
