Well. no. I don't really think men are discriminated at all.
It's not a competition. Just because men are discriminated against doesn't in any way diminish or distract from how crap women are discriminated against. We can fix more than just the one thing at a time. And I get the urge to overcompensate to press the importance, but just dismissing all of the issues men face, or potentially face, just makes you seem like someone who is safe to dismiss and ignore.

But the rest of what you said is true enough.

It's not a competition, I agree with you on that, that it shouldn't take away from that women are discriminated against. However my point was that historically speaking, and from what I can tell. Men aren't discriminated. (the person I was quoting was arguing that women aren't discriminated, and that men are. and I was trying to argue opposite was true, that women are, men are not. Essentially he was trying to move focus away from female issues. While I was trying to focus on it (that females do have problems and males really don't regarding discrimination). I'm going to assume perhaps I didn't make my argument clear.)

If I was a business owner, and I only had to pay a woman 80% or how much I'd have to pay a man, I would only hire women. It's logical.
Maybe I don't get to have a say in this because of "muh toxin", but I don't care.

People tend to justify it through things like "they need more resources, like stalls or heaters, than men. Plus, the risk of pregnancy and leaving far outways the small difference." Had someone argue that once.

I'm assuming you mean topics such as rights and liberties, sure. Still a lot of those battles to fight for on women's, people of colour, and lgbtq+ side.

But perceptual topics, such as gender roles and acceptability of behaviour, oh hell yeah there are loads. More-so for women, but definitely some crucial ones for men. Long-standing ones. The one affects the other, and vice versa, as well.

I have reasons to believe Biden supporters are scum, even ignoring the riots and the allegations of rape and pedophilia.

First off, somebody on Reddit visited her dad, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer about a year prior. One person responded by saying that he/she downvoted and reported the post because "OP is a Trump supporter".

Second off, a woman beat down a child simply because the child had a MAGA sign on his bike.

  • Broad generalization, check
  • Based on cherry-picked anecdotes, check
  • Seemingly ignores the things Trump supporters do, check
  • Ignores that Trump incites violence and elicits bad behavior from his supporters, while Biden does not, check
Also, these were the best anecdotes you could find? Oh no, some fool unrelated to Biden or the Biden campaign downvoted somebody's posts on Reddit. The utter inhumanity.

even ignoring the riots
Riots have generally been condemned by Biden and his supporters.

ignoring the allegations of rape and pedophilia.
If you're talking about Biden, there's zero evidence of pedophilia, and there's no good evidence of rape. You're also being hypocritical if you say this while simultaneously ignoring Trump's many sexual misconduct allegations, which far outnumber anything Biden has. I recommend coming up with some consistent standards of evidence before getting back to us.

Huh?

Kamala Harris donated to the MFF, which bailed out rioters.

I've already shown the photographic evidence multiple times.

It didn't bail out rioters.

You haven't shown anything that remotely demonstrates what you claim it demonstrates. Do you honestly believe it does?

Peaceful protesters, bystanders, reporters, etc.
The "peaceful protestors" weren't actually peaceful.
Could you point out a photograph that demonstrates rape and/or pedophilia? Respectfully, it doesn't sound like you understand what these things are.
Rape? No.
Pedophilia? Most of them, with one showing Creepy Joe sticking his hand into a baby's crotch.

That's a bold and unsubstantiated overgeneralization. Could you give us an example of a rioter who was purportedly bailed out by the MFF?

Rape? No.
Then don't allege that Biden raped anybody. And if you did, in order to be consistent, you'd have to accept that Trump did too.

Holding a baby is not pedophilia. Are you even being serious? Like, what do you even stand for at this point?

Even still, he sniffed the hair and rubbed the breasts of multiple young girls in those photos.

I can, and it took me two minutes of searching. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you seek the truth instead of blindly accepting a claim that supports a politically motivated preconception.

First, these aren't the things you claimed to be demonstrating with your photos. Second, the photos don't even show what you're describing now.

How can you justify believing Biden is a pedophile based on painfully nothing photos, while ignoring the multitude of sexual misconduct allegations against Trump?
