Do women in Americca only fight for equality when it suits them?

Question

Whenever you hear of a case like wallmart with women getting paid less money than men it gets alot of attention from women and feminists all over the world speak out and complain. However when a woman gets special privilege because she is a woman there is no outrage. An example of that is the case in florida involving debra lafave she slept with a boy who was 20 years younger and got probation for the same offense a man doing that as a teacher would have had the book thrown at him. None of these feminists came out and call the judge a sexist and demand that he be removed from the bench. Also even though women benefit from equal sports and opportunities due to Title IX which requires that half of federal funding goes toward women there has been no law to require that women sign up for selective service as men must do by federal law when they are 18?

Answer 1

It's called the female factor. They turn it on and off based on the advantage at the time.
Personally, I'm jealous. I wish I had such a tool.

Answer 2

What did feminists have to do with the Debra Lafave case? You still didn't make the connection as to what they did for her. How is this a feminist issue? Do you have proof what the feminists did or didn't do in the Lafave case or in the man who did the same as a teacher? Last time I looked this was a criminal issue, not a feminist issue. Don't forget the Mary Kay Letourneau case where she spent time in prison and there are many other cases present and past where women teachers are spending time in prison for the same thing. This isn't a feminist issue, this is a pedophile issue and it just happens that both genders are involved with these crimes.
Title IX is about equal opportunity, not equal funding. As far as the military issue, I agree with you 100%. There should be no selective service requirement for any one gender if it isn't for all genders including transgenders.

Answer 3

You asked almost the exact same question yesterday. Things have not changed since then.

People did speak out about that case..but there is also a blatant preferential treatment given to women re: our justice system. That obvious in not just this case but many others too.

Yes, feminists have spoken out about this. Just b/c you haven't read it doesn't mean it hasn't happened. Geez....

Title IX does NOT require equal funding. It does require that women have equal opportunities. Equipment for the football team will always cost more than other sports, and in regards to Title IX that just means the women's field hockey or soccer team should have equal quality of equipment(not equal funding) this also includes locker rooms, access to athletic scholarships and so on.

It's true women are not required to sign up for selective service. But we have a volunteer army(right now) and women are more than welcome to join.

Answer 4

Not being able to sign up doesn't mean that they don't join.
Le fave is an unusual case, the boy, for one thing is no small tiny child, hes as big as a man, and the second thing is that she is drop dead gorgeous. Uglier women serve time for what she did. You would be hard put to find a jury who could be convinced he was, in any sense of the word, raped, for better or worse you just couldn't convince a jury that a woman of her appearance and his weren't more than happy. Not right, as its his ability to form consent not their appearance that counts, but juries are made up of people and trying that case would have been a laughing stock. It was his mother who wanted that. Actually many women did say the judge was not only sexist, but based his ruling on appearance.
There is no correlation between what the Department of Defense does and what the Department of Education does, so there is no need for one department to make stipulations on the regulations of another department.

Answer 5

You are right, just like all activist groups you will only hear from them when they can make headlines. They are hypocrites.

Answer 6

Having women in combat is against the Geneva Convention, or at least it should be. They are far too cruel to the enemy.

Answer 7

Because that's not a feminist issue.
Thats a criminal issue.

Answer 8

you very casually leave out far too many important facts in the florida case for me to bother caring.

how old was the woman?

how old was the boy?

i assume that you leave out the details because they dont' support your preposterous generalization about 50% of the world's population.

if you want to go ahead and hate women, fine - but leave me out of it....

Answer 9

thats a flaw of the judge in that case, not of all women, where as in the walmart case this was flawed to all women.
