This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
A rather infamous Tory MP has been elected to the Women and Equalities Committee in Parliament. He has caused a furore in the past by referring to some people as "feminist zealots". He has also focused heavily on men's issues, calling for parliamentary debates on issues facing men on International Men's Day (we have such debates for women's issues, on International Women's Day) and highlights things like the gender disparity in sentencing for crimes, and the crisis of young male suicide in this country.

Naturally, everybody loses their shit despite the fact this is a perfectly reasonable appointment, and Davies will bring a much-needed perspective to the Committee.

This could be good though, put a little equality back into 'equality' and all that.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Should be fun to watch the zealots flip their shit.

Also, TIL there's a Men's Day. Jeez, I wonder why that hasn't been mentioned at all?

So, every day?

When will we see that we're a single species?

Men need to realize that women really are treated unfairly. Women (and the associated SJW's and white knights) need to realize that the injustices of the past were decisions of the past made in light of those circumstances and were in no way the responsibility of those alive today.

Until we realize these two things, all we do us split our species down the middle.

You forgot to mention the fact that men are also treated unfairly and face significant problems in today's society.

You're part of the problem. This isn't about identity-based justice; it's just about justice.

No, I said that in my post.

And fuck you. I am a victim of those injustices. I am the better parent and I lost 50% of the time with my boys. I spend most of my time undoing her damage.

I am egalitarian. Men give women equality and women give up on the "crimes" men committed as a sex.

The idea of social "justice" builds an idea that there must be reparations. Nope. My father's crimes are not mine, and I will not stand trial for them. But I will be mindful of his crimes and will not repeat them.

Right, but you keep talking about women having to forget about demanding reparations for past injustices. I doubt most women even believe this should be the case; I'm talking about the increasing failure of young boys in school, the ridiculous rate of suicide among young men in my country and yes the unfairness in terms of divorce/custody/alimony and all that shit.

Women having to realise that the past is the past is a very small part of the equation.

Where did I say otherwise? Do I have to bring up the entire problem in all it's complexity to be correct?

Women were treated unfairly. Men are treated unfairly now. If we want to identify as a species we need to lay that all aside.

Al Baghdadi and I had a fight in the last few weeks. She said something to me that resonated. All that matters is the now. We don't live in the past. While we are shaped by it, all we can be judged by are the decisions we just made.

Men aren't responsible for our fathers' actions. There can't be justice in the true sense of the word. If you interact with a woman, treat her as you expect to be treated. And expect the same from her.

Your life and destiny are your own.
