“Equality” is not a totalitarian concept. Different people can be equal in some areas and unequal in others. Not sure why this is so hard to grasp.

So what you’re saying is that women being sexually harassed is just how it is in a society with equality?
Because if that’s not what you’re saying, I’m curious why you think a movement to reduce the disparity is a problem? Well, I’m not curious, I know the answer…

that’s literally why I bought up the topic of equality… and you’re resisting it because… actually there is no reason to resist equality.

What you brought up is an appeal to maintain the current iniquitous status quo, by suggesting that the real problem with men being the aggressors in the vast majority of sexual assaults isn’t the sexual assaults, but that some men might be falsely accused. But hey, if women want to protect themselves from that, we should legalise excluding them and reducing their service options in other areas, because you know, that’s what equality looks like…
The thing is, you don’t give a shit about the real world manifestation of inequality. What you want is a platonic ideal of equality, which doesn’t exist in the real world, and using it as the measure, just ensures that real world inequality stays around and never gets challenged, because people like you can point to the rules and say “We already have equality” .

don’t tell me what I want. you lost all credibility by doing that. I have stopped caring about your words as a result.
equality, new rule (clearly not pushing status quo…) shuld be usable by everyone, not a select few.
stop pushing for inequality then gas lighting and assuming you know what someone desires

You did that part when you said that trying to change the status quo is inequality…

That’s very rich coming from a powertripping admin.
You instance banned me without giving any justification. Shove your sense of real world inequality right next to the stick you’ve got up your a-hole.
You’re no different than a neckbeard reddit mod.

The reason will be in the modlog
But generally, it’s spam, transphobia and other bigotry that gets you banned.
