If it’s any type of consensual sex and they choose to have sex, it is their fault. People need to learn that there are consequences to actions. Sex being the action and getting pregnant is a consequence. 

By saying that you support abortion in all cases, you are just proving that the “pro-choice” movement isn’t about caring about the “right” to make a “choice”, it’s about not having consequences to actions you commit with consent. It’s about the terms you deem where life begins.

-You cannot be sexist toward men. Sexism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against men but you CANNOT be sexist toward them.

-You cannot be racist towards white people. Racism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against white people but you CANNOT be racist toward them.

This is not difficult.

“But oppression?  Seriously?  I defy your friend to look me in the eye and claim that women in the US are oppressed.  Disadvantaged?  Some women are.  Discriminated against?  Doubtless there are still companies that pay women less etc.  But oppressed?  No.

Anyone who wants to claim that women in the US are oppressed really ought to take a trip to a country where actual oppression exists.  Where rape is culturally institutionalized.  Where women are denied education.  Where domestic violence is not only condoned, but encouraged.  That’s oppression.”

Yep yep yep. The idea that any one person in a country such as the U.S. is truly oppressed is absurd. Many people are disadvantaged and discriminated. However, what everyone calls oppression because of reproductive rights or where they stand in terms of social justice isn’t truly oppression. Sure, there are people out there who are racist and sexist. Sure, a handful of people get killed due to those problems. However, it is not a majority effort that is causing this “oppression”. It is people pulling the race or gender card for every little thing in life. Oh, you didn’t get hired? It must be because you’re a women, or black, or etc. etc. etc. Did you know that men will serve more time in jail than women for the same crime? Men can be drafted should the time arise? Over the course of the past few hundred years in American society, who built the country? Men did. Men fought in the wars that gave this country its freedom. Men did a whole hell of a lot more building of this country than women did. So, of course men are going to be considered at the top after all of this. Yeah, women have helped a lot and have done marvelous things. However, in comparison to all of the actual work of fighting and labor because of the gender roles back then, men did a lot more.

Telling people that other people can’t be racist or sexist to you does absolutely nothing. It is just justifying “oppressed people” to hate their “oppressors”. Regardless of social constructs and systems of “oppression” we have here in America, you sure have it a lot better than people in other countries who are really oppressed. What you all have is a first world problem.

Here’s a friendly reminder: don’t be a dick. It’s a lot easier than being overly PC.

It is odd. I see all these people constantly complaining about American society and how unfair and unjust everything is. Do they not realize how much worse it can be?

That there are tougher immigration laws out there. There is a greater punishment for gay people than not getting married. There is a worse fate for religious people than not being allowed to teach religion in public school. That some people don’t live anywhere near a hospital. Sure, you might go into debt needing to pay your bills for the hospital. Other places, some kids don’t even have access to a hospital or any treatment at all. That some people use the same water source as a means of quenching their thirst, washing their clothes, body, and even as a restroom. We have quite an effective method of plumbing. Even some of the poorest people in America have access to get a roof over their head and some bits of food or water. If you walk into any establishment with food and a restroom, you are legally entitled to free water. There are people with no access to education in other countries. We have a public school system. There are genocides going on in other countries. A lot more people get killed in all out war because groups of people are clashing with other groups of people than a few police officers attacking of coloured people. There are far greater problems in the world than minor racist, sexist, or homophobic remarks. I’m sorry to say it, but it’s true.

It would be wonderful to live in a Utopian society. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy, but I can’t. You aren’t going to reach this society, not in your lifetime at least. Of course, I am not saying don’t speak out against injustice. You are perfectly entitled to speak out for what you believe in. However, if you really want to compare one of the most luxurious, privileged countries in the world to any other country in the world, I ask that you realize that you live in one of the most luxurious, privileged countries in the world. There are problems. However, they are nothing compared to what you may find in other countries. Be grateful.

I would love to see how long people can go without complaining about how “terrible” and “unfair” this country is and see posts about what they are grateful for about living in this country. 

“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself.
If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world,
then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of 
your own self-transformation.”
