Hot take: Feminists' opposition to 50 50 custody means they don't support stay at home dad + female breadwinner relationships

People grow suspicious when you (if you're a man) tell them you want to be a stay-at-home dad in your non 50/50 custody state to protect your child custody

And people grow suspicious when you tell them you want to move to a 50/50 custody state to protect your child custody

But combine them together, and they actually love you: if you want to be a stay-at-home dad BUT you're coming to the table offering your wife 50% custody anyway if she divorces, suddenly you're being a cool customer

So: Feminists DO NOT support stay-at-home dad + female breadwinner relationships, because they oppose shared parenting. You can pull up documents where NOW opposed shared parenting just from the last three years, so they want women as female breadwinners to not have this insurance policy that might sweeten the pot for them and choose the relationship.

(Of course, the full answer is both: outside of 50 50 custody states, SAHMs almost always get custody and support; SAHDs sometimes do, sometimes don't, so yeah, it's about dad protecting his 50% custody too, but that smells like equality to me. Sometimes the court throws out stay-at-home fatherhood, and sometimes it throws out a 50- 50 policy, but it at least has to throw out both in the six states that have it, so that's the best protection for men and their children.)

Will hierarchical cultures eventually die out?

As a radical egalitarian, libertarian, and individualist, I take major issue with collectivist cultures that have hierarchical social structures. To some degree this is most of the world, but certain Asian cultures, for example, are especially problematic. In Korea you're always expected to defer to elders, and this is reflected in the way people merely speak, with the language having more than 4 levels of honorifics. Neighboring Japan is not too different. In India the concept of privacy and individuality doesn't really exist, and one is always expected to do what their elders and society expect of them.

With the advent of the internet letting ideas spread and be debated on a global platform, I honestly think the death of these cultures is inevitable. Younger generations in non-western countries are already pushing back against their countries' social traditions and adopting a more egalitarian worldview. My dream is to see a world where all of the cultures I mentioned keep their languages, music, art, dance, cuisine, and everything else good, but adopt an extremely western psychology and worldview that values equality and fairness.

"We call for women and girls to be placed at the center of rescue efforts ", UN Women says

https://x.com/i/status/2070632563253616856

They don't even hide they are sexists. This impudence is beyond imagination! And they dare to proclaim feminists advocate for gender equality.

What a disgrace! Do UN even care about its reputation? Also UN Women's special rapporteur Alsalem is a homophobe and transphobe.

Ukraine is a conservative country, not a liberal one

Despite receiving support from most Western liberal democracies, Ukraine is a hyper-conservative nation, not a liberal one. Trans-women are conscripted along with men, and gay marriage is illegal. The government also imposes censorship laws on its people just like they do in Russia and suspends elections. It is not right wing to oppose Ukrainian nationalism.

Ladies. Why do you ask men to advocate and march your gender. Yet many of you cannot show up nor help men wiht our issues.

I always hear women tell men that men should march and always help women. That women should be put first in society.

I see women demand that men help them and advocate for women's right and sacrifice their lives for women.

Yet I dont see women helping men. I dont see women marching or advocating for men.

I know so many men that were sa and women tell them that its made up or since we live in patriarchy men cannot be victims.

I dont see women adovacate for financial abortion or better alimony laws.

When I bring up porn addictions and how they affect men and ruin their lives. Women just laugh and say those men are losers.
