If feminism is for men and women, why don't feminist start working towards human rights? I have some suggestions.

1. There is a ceiling on the most people can earn. Nobody can earn more than $5 million per year.

2. All businesses should be able to break even - i.e. not run at a loss. Howver, they are not entitled to make year end profit.

3. There is a qualified vote in order to ensure that idiots don't elect morons for president. There will always be more people that are without common sense than with common sense. Make them write a citizen's exam or something. It's done when they are 18.

4. Remove all laws about marriage, including the tax tables, from government. Marriage has got nothing to do with anyone but the two people involved. People are who married should not be given tax breaks. That said, only people who earn above $100,000 per year should be taxed. The rest should be tax free.

Women are entitled to all things that men are entitled to. This was not so when feminism started. For example, at that time, women could not vote. Divorce was unheard of, etc.

This is a problem where women are 100% just as responsible for the culture as men rae. That is what my story is about. Women have as much of a double standard as men have.

Patriarchy, the way it is used on social media is derogatory. When I was studying athropology in South Africa in the 70s, I studied as many matriarchal societies as I did patriarchal societies. They were not dirty words. Nowhere, however, did I study societies where the gender was irrelevant. Interestingly, the only person who ever wrote novels where gender was irrelevant was Robert Heinlein.

Lastly, Yes, Mother Nature is cruel. She most certainly is indifferent, and it is her very indifference that is cruel.

If feminism was about human rights, then it wouldn't matter about gender. There are more men than women who commit suicide. What is happening to men dying in wars, having to give up their characters in the work environment in order to support wives and children, is horrific. Maybe you should study just how hard men's lives are.
