I want more intellectual discussion, like how we'd all be happier if we were Amish.

LOL. If you can't rebut someone's arguments, try to dismiss them. Or put them on ignore. That way you can just stay in your little bubble, telling yourself that women really would be happier if they just went back to being second-class citizens.

... Are you really so eager to prove feminism wrong that you are willing to try and argue the point I agreed with you on? I mean. Okay. Whatever floats your flamingo.

In the meantime, I notice that you completely ignored the serious request for more details regarding your separate propositions for why feminism should be rolled back. Let's try this again:

How is feminism unworkable?

How does feminism contradict scientifically verifiable biological differences? What are these scientifically verifiable biological differences?

And how is feminism, in the long term, fundamentally incompatible with a self-sustaining civilization?

I don't see where he as attacked anyone or tried to gang up on anyone whereas as some of the women in the thread are trolling and trying to get women to gang up on him and others.
Oh, you didn't like that post? But you liked it's first iteration, where it attacked women.

I don't think anyone on here nor most people in general really agreed with him on that and you know what I'm talking about. Now you're trolling as well and trying to suck up to the women and White Knight them or something. I think they've got it covered buddy. No one wants Amish women to be a thing.

There are two statements.

You're really grasping at straws now. If qualia are not within the domain of empirical knowledge, then entire specialties like psychiatry, psychology or pain therapy would be meaningless and pointless.

Yet they are not pointless. Proof? They have practical benefits.

The amount of babbling nonsense by feminists in this thread is living proof that feminism is unworkable.

For example, if I post the link from earlier, categorically disproving your claim that scientists don't measure happiness, will it really make any difference? Somehow I doubt it. I think you know just how disingenuously you are behaving.

I'll also ignore the diatribe at the end (that has nothing to do with what I said).
Even if we are to accept your survey on happiness as proof women are unhappier now(which is a concept that is hard to quantify and there are many reasons that the results could have shaken out as they did) ...it only covered the last 30 years or so. Feminism has had 3 waves and lasted much longer than that.

How can you look at a survey like this and say hmmm...women in the past 30 years aren't happy. Instead of logically thinking about what has happened in that 30 year period, I'll posit that it's feminism period and rolling it all back 200 years or so would be best.

Mmmmm how does that work? It's certainly overkill, at a minimum. It would be like wanting to go back before the Industrial Revolution just because a survey showed workers today were unhappy.

Happy is so subjective. This made me think a bit when I found it last night How to be perfectly unhappy - The Oatmeal

Right on! I want more Youtube videos, more rebuttals that consist of "butthurt" and more facts like, "it would be better if we were Amish". Amiritre, fellas?!

Saying we don't want to be second class is "flailing around like crazy women" Geez. The ideas in this thread have been so far from being radical that it's laughable. We're horrible people for wanting to be considered people and wanting to make choices about our life. Uh huh.
