Since they all seem jumbled together into a big mess. But, I will bravely try to sort out your issues...
@BS...yes, I do dare. Understanding that women are human beings with the same right to control their bodies, lives, careers, etc does not automatically turn men into spineless wimps.
So if men understand and accept women are as you say, then the men are not wimps? This makes no sense.
Are you implying that feminism does not affect men? OR do you mean that if men understood feminism they would not be wimps? Do you mean that feminists only teach good and holy things and can never be wrong or bad? Do you mean that all things women do to men are not wrong or bad unless feminism decides not to endorse them?
You confuse me. I guess you yourself are not clear on what the issues are.
Unless, of course, you consider oppressing other human beings to be a sign of strength.
Well, no, but I do think women and feminists are exceedingly skilled in this area, talented and subversive oppressors of men as they are.
Waiting for the inevitable spiel about how it's actually evil feminists who are oppressing men by insisting women have the right to determine their own destinies....
Can men determine their own destinies? For instance, could a man REFUSE to be sent off to Nam in the 70s? WITHOUT RECOURSE BY SOCIETY? One can plausibly argue that men protect a society that largely is designed to serve not men's but women's needs.
so where do you want to go with this? We have already determined that we dirty inadequate men, as oppose to you perfect untouchable women, are forced to deal with situations that determine our destinies that we are not in control. So are you saying women are not subject to the same rules as men are? Or are you saying you are a liar?
