Hmm, women birthed a lot of people sure, but there are also some men and nonbinary people that birthed others too.

Some of the biggest opponents to women's rights have been... women. It's the whole "I managed with this so you should too" (instead of making things better for everyone) bullshit. We see the same with immigration etc as well.

This narrative is endlessly weaponized, deployed in culture wars, racial divisions, and sexism to block progress. People cling to it, mistaking struggle for virtue and comfort for weakness. But life brings enough challenges naturally. We don't need to invent extra hardship to prove our worth.

Well, well, well, another reply-gem in the witches treasure chest.

According to some of replies we women are responsible for the Bezoses, the Zuckerbergs, and the Musks of this world, because we’ve given birth to them.

There’s a special term for this: victim blaming

Guys, we’re used to this, that’s nothing new you came up with, no brilliant thought, no evil esprit just the good old “she asked for it” which we heard so often.

Yep! They're not here to change minds they're here to unleash their hate about women on us.

I guess they never witnessed a birth.

Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos. Do you know what all of these men have in common?

They were all birthed by a woman. Yet you all still advocate for women rights. Curious.

At least get your tie down from the ceiling fan and tidy away the empty bottles.

Just stop giving birth to misogynistic people its so simple?? Like at this point its just a skill issue

[–] plyth@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why is there no network of women that makes sure that all children grow up without misogynistic values?

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah some kind of fem ministry

Wouldn't this be an argument against womens rights?

Sounds like some Bene Gesserit training is in order.

Why are equal rights still a discussion ever?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah, I was gonna comment, that's the one responsibility the right assigns to women. Nobody's questioning their place in childbirthing, they want that to be their only concern, and not even a right but an obligation.
