As a woman I’ve been working my ass off all my life including military service, and I honestly wouldn’t mind getting a taste of the old days back when women were allowed to be cooking & cleaning & childbearing & nurturing loving & fully living in our feminine energy, and respected & appreciated for all of it. Unfortunately the whole world relies upon money nowadays and if you don’t earn money then you’re considered worthless, and for some reason all the work women classically did was not considered worthy of pay. So here we are all struggling for survival in this capitalist hellscape, women can’t feel feminine & beautiful while we’re working soul-draining jobs to stay alive. Hooray for women’s rights movement I guess?. At least I have my own money & bank account & credit cards & domicile & complete independence, although being a wage slave isn’t really independence, is it? If this is what women were fighting to achieve, congratulations, we got it. Here we are. What good is it when we’re all too exhausted to enjoy life because working our asses off to survive?

I’m pretty confident there’s been a lot of men saying pretty much what you just did for a long time. Something to the effect of “you’re welcome to have what I have but you’re not going to enjoy it”. The system doesn’t care if you have a penis or not. Some participants in it certainly do but the system itself is equally shitty to anyone not born with shit loads of money.

  Multiple evidence based studies show that gender and race affect success in life. Just because everyone is having a shit time doesn’t mean some demographics don’t have it worse. We’re a long way off from equality, and even further away from true equity.

    I never said that wasn’t true. I said men, but I’ll extend that here to include the racial descriptor white, don’t have it as good as others think they do. Unless you mean rich white men but then “white” and “men” aren’t the qualities doing the heavy lifting. Your last sentence is getting closer to what I said.

    I was responding, primarily, to this:

    I’m saying there are systemic biases.
