Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health 
First off, I'm a feminist.
Second, I think way too many people have these misconceptions about feminists because they've been misinformed, or they've been scared off because of social media warriors. Whatever the case is, I'm here to (maybe) enlighten you.
Contrary to popular belief, feminism has nothing to do with belittling men; in fact feminism doesn't support sexism against either gender. Feminism works toward equality, not female superiority.
Feminists respect individual, informed choices and believe there shouldn't be a double standard in judging a person. Everyone has the right to sexual autonomy and the ability to make decisions about when, how and with whom to conduct their sexual life. Meaning: we don't believe in slut shaming.
But it lets take a look into some actual facts:
-Women earn 78 cents for every dollar a man makes.
-Only 17% of the seats in Congress are held by women.
-although 48% of law school graduates and 45% of law firm associates are female, women make up to only 22% federal-level and 26% of state level judgeships.
-Even in the 10 top paying jobs for women, females earn less then men. Only one career, speech pathology, pays the same regardless of gender.
-Despite previous attempts to ratify a UN treaty guaranteeing the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, the U.S. refuses to support an international bill of rights for women signed by nearly every other nation on the planet.
-According to a recent survey, just 20% of Americans consider themselves feminists, approximately 8% consider themselves as anti feminists, while 63% said they are neither. However most respondents (82%) believed that men and women should be equal, with just 9% saying that men and women should not be equal.
-Globally, about 1 in 3 women will be beaten or raped in her lifetime.
-approximately 38% of all murders of women globally are committed by their intimate partners.
-according to the U.N., 99.3% of women and girls in Egypt have been subjected to sexual harassment.
-Over 130 million women around the world have undergone female genital mutilation. This is when girls have either part or all of the clitoris and inner and outer labia cut off, without anesthesia. Often they have part of their vagina sewed up as well.
-approximately 1.2 million children worldwide are victims of human trafficking, and over 80% are girls.
-In ten countries, women are legally bound to obey their husbands. Only 76 countries have legislation that directly targets domestic violence; just 57 of them include sexual abuse.
-worldwide, just 24% of senior management roles are held by women.
-just 1% of tilted land in the world is owned by women.
-in the 1990s, the pop group the Spice Girls introduced the phenomenon of "Girl power," which assumed that women could use society's expectations of female behavior to multiple patriarchy and achieve success through female bonding.
-Some feminists argue that men's liberation should be included in the aims of feminism becuase men have also been harmed by traditional gender roles.
-in 1950, women comprised less than 2% of the U.S. military. Currently, about 14% of active members in the U.S. armed forces are women.
-women are more likely to get a high school diploma than men. In addition, over 60% of college degrees in the United States are rewarded to women.
-Women hold the highest IQ scores ever recorded.
-The first women to run and finish the Boston Marathon was Roberta Gibb in 1966. However, becuase women were not allowed to officially enter the race until 1972, she did not get credit for it.
-the U.S. Congress places in the bottom half of nations governments around the world in terms of women members.
-The fifty-two countries have had a female head of state over the past 50 years, including India, Bangladesh, Sri, Lanka, Pakistan, Liberia, and China. However, the United States is among those who never have.
-America women are twice as likely as men to retire in poverty.
-In Saudi Araba, women are not allowed to drive. However, Saudi women are currently challenging this law.
-in 1770, the British Parliament proposed a bill that women using makeup should be punished punished for witchcraft.
-in Ecuador, abortion is illegal unless you are "demented" or an "idiot." Additionally, the law is often used to criminalize miscarriages.
-About 14 million girls are married before they turn 18. In 2014, an estimated 14 million girls worldwide, some as young as 8 years old, were married.
-in Saudi Arabia and Morocco, rape victims can be charged with a crime such as engaging in illicit sex. Tragically, a sixteen year old in Morocco killed herself after a judge forced her to marry her rapist under a law that dismisses rape charges if the parties marry..
-women are not allowed to vote in Saudi Arabia and Vatician City.
-In the early 19th century, married women in Europe and the U.S. had no legal identity apart from their husbands, a status known as coverture. This means that women could not be party in a lawsuit, sit on a jury, own property if widowed, or write a will. Custody was also usually granted to the child's father.
-in some parts of India, roads safety laws do not apply to women. An exemption that kills or injures thousands of women each year.
-in Yemen, women are considered to be only "half a witness" this means that a single woman's testimony isn't taken seriously unless it's backed up by a mans word. Additionally, women cannot testify at all in cases of adultery, libel, theft, or sodomy.
-mothers of newborns are guaranteed paid leave in 188 countries, only 9 countries do not: Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Surinam, Tonga, and the United States.
-The introduction of the birth pill in 1965 helped women choose between a full time career and motherhood, or do both.
On top of all this, I feel like there is a situation where men aren't treated the same way as women. That is: male rape victims.
Another thing is that believing in gender equality also leads me to believe that under the circumstances that we go to war, women should be drafted! That's not beneficial to women but gender equality doesn't always equal positive things.
Hope this helped some of you and maybe the fear of calling yourself a feminist is gone 😂❤️

What Girls & Guys Said
15 51Fuck feminism.
I am an anti-feminist and an MRA, and yes you have some great points. Unfortunately the solution to many of the issues that you bring up is certainly NOT feminism. Especially when it comes to male issues, as feminism itself created many of the problems that men face. As an example do to feminist legislature within this century a man was raped, and then punished for his rape, not in third world country but in good old USA. You mention India where men can not be a victim of either rape or domestic violence (Indian law defines both as violence against women) again due to feminist lobbying practices. And of course yes one in three women will be the victim of violence in the US the corresponding number for men is one in one or in other words a woman is far less likely to be a victim in the US then a man. As for the wage gap (you know that it is in dispute correct?) the counter is the spending gap (which is not). If women earn less then men yet spend more it leads to puzzling question where is that extra money coming from?
Anyway good my take.
I just said that there's a lot of things I feel that men aren't treated the same way: male rape victims...
Yes, and much of that is due to feminism. Feminism has stated that rape is a tool of the patriarchy to demean and control women. It is a staple of feminist thought that women do not rape, only men.
Wow that's just such a... compelling argument about what feminism has done in the "past" but lets see some of what feminists are actually up to now a days in the present.

O and I forgot one of the best one.

omg last video ! i1.kym-cdn.com/.../ef4.gif
@Curiousness23 Exactly.
WTF is that seriously omg i think i have my period from listening to this... ahahahahahahahahahaahahah
@Curiousness23 That was feminsism otherwise known as bullshit.
ahahahahah ! yeah bs
@Curiousness23 Haha indeed!
Using something that happened 1770 to justify the movenet in the presence. The mental gymnastics necessary for that. Toppest of Keks
I suspect that the author of the piece above has been giving far too much credibility to the loony lecturers in her gender studies course.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbzF-Q_ZEDgFeminism is a sexist hate movement that is a product of Cultural Marxism.
Here is what Feminism is really about, in the words of some of the leading intellectuals of Feminism.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS-yXY__pAoSee also:
Actions speak louder then words.
In other words, the dictionary doesn't define feminism, the people who are define it
I'm not afraid of the word feminist. I just don't support the lies that feminists perpetuate. The 78 cents for every dollar myth has been debunked repeatedly so please stop lying.
Lying is immoral.
YES YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES <3 Finally a feminist myTake!
https://youtu.be/idXcRIa1Apo
Your welcome.
@Jeeveesss And of course the definition of harassment as it pertains to women will be just about anything up to and including looking at women for more than four seconds, looking women in the eyes or speaking to women without permission as if they're royalty.
Feminism =/= equality. That is a fact. I'll never support feminism, it's like you belong to the kkk that wants to purge men instead of African Americans. Feminism is toxic now and we should be focusing on pure equality of everyone.
Did you really just compare feminists to KKK? *palms face*

Funny how Anti-Fem MyTakes will post dozens of sources and Pro-Fem ones post two.
Fuck off OP, feminism blows and so do your "sources"
Here are a couple of tips for writing an efficient myTake:
1) Don't spew statistics like a machine gun sprays bullets
2) Don't use biased websites that push their own agenda by extracting statistics through unprofessional means.
3) Don't write a myTake on a topic that's been covered a million times on GAG and has a negative connotation towards it.
Hey I'm new on here don't judge my mytake skills
Don't judge? No one is free from judgment. Before you write myTakes it is strongly recommended that you read those writen by others to get an idea of how to do it. I'm not an English teacher and neither are most people on this site but the 3 points I mentioned are ones everyone that is a successful myTake Editor follows.
lol okaayyy
And what's with all the attitude I just wanted to share a mytake stop will all the hate
Given your age, I'll excuse this... but this lacked any sort of coherency. You basically just spammed a bunch of stats from all over the place with no nuanced discussion behind what those facts entail. For example, the issue concerning the wage gap is a lot more complex than "women make 78 cents to every male dollar" but you just breezed through that with the conclusion that the UN should pass a global law to enforce pay equity. Terrible...
So debate her points. That's what a discussion is. Not just the 78%. You disagree then argue it out. Showing up. to say "no you're. wrong and I don't want to talk about it" is weak in argument." It's like sticking your tongue out instead of talking..
@AriadneSky So, what could make two people working the same have a different wage? - experience - education - negotiation of starting pay and/or bonuses/raises. - seniority (unless these two people started on the same day, one will have seniority. If one person has been there for five years, do you think the person who just walked in the door should be making the same?). And women making more than men in the same job is because of one or more of these variables. Four first grade teachers, all women, doing the same exact job will make different amounts of money based on education and seniority.
And this os exactly why i dislike feminism.
Yes feminism says they want equality but their actions only favour women. You have listed a ehole bunch of womens issues. Where are the mens issues. If you truly believes on gender equality then youd adress men issues as well. The one thing you addressed was male rape. And what exactly are feminists doing about that?
Most male rape happens in prison i hear. I dont see any feminists campaigning against that.
"Only 17% of the seats in Congress are held by women." ever tought thats because most women aren't interested in politics and among the collective politicians, mostly men are simply better?
As for the wage gap thing.
There is a book called why women earn less ( or why men earn more, i forgot the title)
Read that. it actually studied the iasue and says its not that women earn less money for working same hours as men , but its because women work less collective hours than men. Women are more likely to leave early and attend their childs recital than men are.
On to the next
1 in 3 women get raped. I know more than 3 women and i dont know a single girl who has been raped. I know i dont know about some that happened and i just dont know it but the ratio is much, much lower than that.
Some of your points are from a time long ago
Men are much more likely to be assaulted or killed than women are.
And finally, women are have highest iq?
And you are telling me you dont think you are superior to men while saying such ridiculous statements?
"I don't know a single girl who has been raped" they obviously don't want to be discussing such a personal issue with you
And the fact that women have a higher IQ is just a fact doesn't mean women are more supper then men
I'm a feminist as well but
"in the 1990s, the pop group the Spice Girls introduced the phenomenon of "Girl power," which assumed that women could use society's expectations of female behavior to multiple patriarchy and achieve success through female bonding.:
It doesn't change the fact that the Spice Girls are the worst thing to come out of england since the war of 1812
The Spice Girls are pretty fucking terrible, but the worst thing out of Britian since the War of 1812 in One Direction
i don't even read this shit... i just scroll down to the comments.
Oh I completely agree with equality, and I recognise that both genders face social issues.
However a huge amount of these 'facts' are flat out fallacies
Fuck feminists.
Feminists used to be heroes in the past... Nowadays, they're nothing but cultural Marxists... Sorry, you are welcome to your opinions... But I have to respectfully denounce feminism as cancer of the inoperable sort
Just another feminist asking for special treatment and privileges without doing the slightest to earn all of this. Feminism is only about hating White men and families and nothing else. Thats the only goal. Blame men for everything, turn men into fools while trying to convince us how women are "superwomen" and destroy the traditional nuclear family which is one of the foundations for a healthy society.

"-Women earn 78 cents for every dollar a man makes."
You lost all credibility with that statement. You deserve a slap on the bottom.
Buh bye!
The highest recorded IQ was that of a man, William James Sidis, with an IQ ranging between 250 – 300.
