    Who are you referencing when you reference, “the ones who think equality means swapping positions of power so men are the ones who are oppressed?” I’m curious to see what an example or two of that would look like.

      I’ve have an example of this that happen recently. It was on a post about Spain (iirc, might have been Italy) making killing women because of their gender a hate crime.

      People were arguing that men should receive harsher punishments for killing women because of their gender than women killing men because of their gender.

      Which isn’t equality since criminal prosecution should be on a case by case basis. It should be a hate crime to kill anyone because of the way they were born. The fact that women are more often victims just means that more men will be prosecuted than women, but the sentences should be the same.

      There’s also the crazies who think that any time a woman has sex with a man, the woman is being raped.

      What they refer to is for example women using accusations of inappropriate behavior to ruin reputations and promotion chances of men to get ahead.

      One that also pops up is how divorce is used as a way to strip mine the wealth of men because “the system” will advantage women always.

      That’s some talking points you usually see.
