Swedish group wants ‘legal abortions’ for men.

From The Local SE via H/T at Instapundit:

Men should have the same right as women to decide not be parents, according to a controversial new proposal from the Liberal Party’s youth wing in western Sweden (LUF Väst)
.................

The group believes ‘legal abortion’ for men would promote equality between the sexes in the early stages of a pregnancy, giving men a chance to opt out. Women would also benefit if they knew from the get-go whether a man was willing to commit to parenthood, the young liberals say.
.................

Some social media users have welcomed the plan but many have ridiculed it and Nilsen said the group had received a flurry of threats.

This seems fair.

It would provide men with equality regarding "Choice", but we all know men have responsibilities, women have options.

So the feminist will NEVER allow it to happen.

Patriachy!

Will Reproductive Rights Advocates Stand Up for Men?

From ValerieTarico.com via H/T at Instapundit:

This is one argument being raised in the Missouri case of a divorced couple who froze embryos together before their marriage disintegrated. The man is asking that nobody incubate the embryos to create a child without his consent. He wants the right of choice rather than forced parenthood—as most women would.

At present he isn’t asking for the male equivalent of abortion—the right to eject the frozen embryos from their current state of suspended animation in a laboratory freezer. Nonetheless, his ex-wife, a conservative Catholic and an attorney, has called in the legal arm of the Pro-Life movement to argue that the case should be decided on a child welfare basis, claiming that the frozen embryos have rights superseding those of the persons who created them.

Abortion foes see this as an opportunity to advance the idea that a fertilized egg is a person. In other words, they see it as an opportunity to ensconce and extend legal logic that they hope to apply more broadly in debates about the formation of fetal life, including contraception, abortion, cloning, and genetic enhancements.

Of course not. Women have reproductive rights; men have reproductive responsibilities.

Or, who can I get to pay the bills, other than me.

Bruce Jenner selected as "Woman of the Year"

When it was announced that Bruce Jenner would be named by Glamour Magazine as the "Woman of the Year" I have to admit it made me snicker a little bit. The progressives, which probably include a bunch of militant lesbians and radical gay men, who run Glamour Magazine made this choice to continue advancing the progressive agenda, 'Nothing is Abnormal Now'. For most of us, this is nothing new. Of course, there was the usual carping by miscellaneous harpies on the left about a man being selected as the "Woman of the Year." (If Barack Obama was selected, that's a whole other set of issue, but same agenda). But all of that was boiled down to a single salient thought when I saw the post below on Facebook this morning.

That's when it struck me the irony of his selection for "Woman of the Year." The progressives didn't realize that they have just harpooned every argument that women should be treated as equal to men. Female police officers, firemen, military academy cadets, fighter pilots, and just recently Army Rangers are examples of unqualified women being forced into male careers. It all those cases, there was a second, LOWER standard standard was created to allow them to be 'qualified.'  Even the US Marine Corp has a lowered their physical standards to allow women to participate. Lt. Colonel Kate Germano was relived of command of a female recruit training battalion at Parris Island for trying to get the women to perform similar to the men.

From The Washington Free Beacon:

Germano’s crusade had apparently been to eliminate disparities between male and female recruit performance at Parris Island, within reason. For example, there was a gap between male and female performance on the rifle range, for which there seemed to be no explanation other than low expectations. All, including the men who fired her, concede that she made major progress in fixing this.

So they fired the Lt. Colonel for demanding those under her command to get better and perform at the USMC standard, not just the USMC female standard.

Continuing from The Washington Free Beacon:

Germano’s sin seems to be that she was pursuing actual respect for—and self-respect by—women in the Marine Corps, and not the fictitious appearance of equality that both her bosses, and some of her subordinates, appear to prefer.

This is a prime example why women should not be allowed to be in combat units, the women in those very units want a separate and unequal standard for them, while demanding to be treated as equals.

Bruce's (not Caitlyn) will always genetically male, regardless of the appearance of the plumbing and the hormones he's taking.  And if you were to compare his physical attributes to any other woman his same age, he will always be better.

All of this evidence should prove that not matter how you compare them, a male will always be better than a woman.

Newest Feminist Crisis -- Sports Jerseys Are Not Made in Women's Sizes

From Ace of Spades HQ:

This feminist wanted to buy an Eli Manning sports jersey -- and was aghast to find there were no women's sizes. Women usually bought children's sizes, she was told.

But it gets worse -- because Women of Size (WoS) [i.e. very fat and angry], that is, XL women, cannot fit into child's sizes. So they have to buy men's jerseys, which actually fit them fine. But they're marked as "Men's sizes" which therefore denies the female gender exists entirely. Or something.
 

So in response to consumer demand (or lack thereof) the store stopped carrying certain inventory. Totally innocent. pic.twitter.com/IjKXyFBUR1

By the way: It turns out you can buy women's sports jerseys. But most stores don't carry them (because most women don't buy them), so they sell them online.

But this is also a horror on par with the Holocaust, or whatever happened in Armenia.

@kavithadavidson Being forced to buy women's cut jerseys online is not cool. Women need to be able to try on in store for sizing too.

She does have a minor point. I myself like to try on clothes before I buy, but it's not a national emergency when I can't find my size on a store. Especially, if your a Charge fan in the Fresno. Not the store's fault that they keep Raider and 49er gear in stock, you know the jerseys that sell.

Objectified by the Male Gaze

From The Other McCain:

Feminists have deliberately created a climate of fear in schools, universities and workplaces, where any male who dares so much as speak to a woman is at risk of devastating accusations that he has “harassed” her. Even if he has done nothing that could plausibly be viewed as “hitting on” her, the male who says or does anything that a woman finds “unwelcome” or “offensive” could be charged with fostering discriminatory conditions. This involves what is known as the “hostile environment” theory of sexual harassment, which views any expression of male heterosexuality as a potential source of discrimination against women. ................ Dr. Patai called attention to how feminist discourse about “harassment” expressed a hostility toward normal male behavior, based in radical theories that interpret heterosexuality per se as oppressive to women.

This anti-male attitude — “Fear and Loathing of the Penis” — is pervasive within the academic institutions of the Feminist-Industrial Complex. In American universities, Women’s Studies programs and other forms of feminist advocacy are protected from critical scrutiny by Title [IX] legislation, which has been interpreted in such a way that criticizing feminism can itself be considered evidence of discriminatory intent. Women’s Studies professors and other feminist activists on university campuses are effectively exempt from opposition or criticism, and thus are free to promote outright hatred of males without anyone being able to condemn them for it. The 21st-century campus is overtly hostile to males, a hostility evident in the fact that males are now a minority (43%) of college students. Universities now punish males on the basis of mere suspicion of “sexual misconduct,” defined so broadly as to include every possible expression of male heterosexuality. Ordinary flirtation is rapidly becoming a lost art because it is strongly discouraged, if not altogether prohibited, by these policies.

Professor Glenn Harlan Reynold, of Instapundit fame, said "If you understand that feminism is, in part, a leveling mechanism used by less-attractive women against more-attractive women, it will make sense."

Rush Limbaugh called it around 1987, Undeniable Truth #24, "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."

Ellen Pao Out as Reddit CEO, Blames Site’s Users (i.e. The Customers)

From Breitbart's Big Journalism:

Silicon Valley Business Journal just reported that “Ellen Pao is resigning from Reddit after eight months of drama as interim CEO.”

Having kept her Reddit position despite  losing America’s highest profile sexual discrimination lawsuits against what she called Silicon Valley’s “boy’s club,” Pao was forced out for firing a popular female employee.
.............
Pao told media outlets that she was not fired, calling her departure a mutual decision because she disagreed with the Reddit Board about the site’s growth potential. But in a sarcastic parting shot at her critics, Pao told the Wall Street Journal that she won’t miss the constant criticism of her within Reddit’s user community, which dogged her throughout her unsuccessful sexual discrimination lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins and continued to grow over her involvement in the site.

So the Reddit user base, her customers didn't like her or her decisions, got enough support to get her fired, yet she's not at fault.
