A Thread About Women

TyGuy said:

My girlfriends friend who made a big deal about the whole bending the knee thing in game of thrones. Stopped watching silicon valley because of lack of empowered women on the show and constantly complains about her male superior at work who would no doubt treat her different if she was a dude..

She just had to point out that she was at a female owned winery to spend her birthday and was sure to tag #feminism in her post. I'm sure the wine tasted a lot better there because it was female owned.

I didn't like the show Friends mostly because the male characters were fucking pussies.

Is that the same?

Her boyfriend is definitely a pussy for being a doormat. My eyes would be fucked from rolling them so hard if I had to listen to this bullshit non stop.

The best was when she found out that Atomic Blond wasn't a good film. She was so excited to go see this female ass kicking movie because it's so empowering and was depressed to find out about the lesbian love action.

People should be bending the knee.

You are unbendable on that as was Stannis himself.

The law is the law.

The Boy Scouts of America will admit girls next year.

There are programs in the BSA that already allowed this (Venturing and Sea Scout units), but now young women will have a chance to earn Eagle Scout. I'm for this change, as an Eagle Scout myself, because it seems ridiculous to me that a young woman with a love for the outdoors and a penchant for leadership wouldn't have the same opportunities I had.

I will admit, as an atheist, that I thought they'd drop their ban on atheists/agnostics before allowing girls into the ranks. Disappointing that this seems to remain as the policy. Atrocious really.

The transition will be strange and difficult for a lot of units, councils, etc. Even in liberal states, Boy Scouts attracts the more conservative families usually. The boys club culture of scouting, as it has been a literal boys club for so long, will not always be an easy environment for young girls. Some people will label this as "creating problems" but I see it as exposing them.

I do empathize with those that feel it's important to have a space for young men to be around other young men, without the "distraction" of girls to focus on friendship and having quality, masculine time (heh GAYYYYYYY). However, I personally find the program, for all its flaws, to be too important to limit opportunity.

Why don't they just, ya know, join the Girl Scouts? People just don't want men (or boys in this case) to have male-only spaces anymore. It's important to have them, imo. One semester in middle school we had all boys and all girls classes and it was my favorite semester. I got to be in class with all my friends and not have to worry about girls.

Her boyfriend is a pussy and a doormat for dating a feminist? Did you ever consider the fact that he's a feminist? You know.. male feminists exist right?

Have you seen Atomic Blonde? It was great... And I have no idea how any feminist would object to the sex between the two characters in the movie.. AT ALL.. sounds like your friend doesn't understand feminism or is a homophobe.

Because your interests determine if you're a boy or a girl now, duh. You can't like hiking unless you're a boy. Therefore, you are a boy if you like hiking

Well, it seems like there will still be all-male spaces. It sounds more like they're just opening up a parallel program for girls rather than making current units co-ed, but it's not entirely clear:

Starting in the 2018 program year, families can choose to sign up their sons and daughters for Cub Scouts. Existing packs may choose to establish a new girl pack, establish a pack that consists of girl dens and boy dens or remain an all-boy pack. Cub Scout dens will be single-gender — all boys or all girls. Using the same curriculum as the Boy Scouts program, the organization will also deliver a program for older girls, which will be announced in 2018 and projected to be available in 2019, that will enable them to earn the Eagle Scout rank. This unique approach allows the organization to maintain the integrity of the single gender model while also meeting the needs of today’s families.

I suspect that "maintaining the single-gender model" is why this was a unanimous vote. Sounds like they're poaching the Girl Scouts with a program they think will attract more interest.

Some shit about it being dressed up and advertised as woman empowering badassery when really it was sexualizing the woman and had girl on girl for the dudes.

Hey, the feminist agenda isn't suppose to make sense to everybody. I'd love to watch you lecture her on feminism though.
