Men’s Issues
- Societal expectations of masculinity
- Societal expectations to provide for women
- No long term reversible male birth control
- Men who are raped are more likely to remain silent and be dismissed or outright laughed at
- Unfair treatment in child custody…
Completely agree.
Male parasitism means that males must have access to women; it is the Patriarchal Imperative. But feminist no-saying is more than a substantial removal (redirection, reallocation) of goods and services because Access is one of the faces of Power. Female denial of male access to females substantially cuts off a flow of benefits, but it has also the form and full portent of assumption of power.
19% of prime time television characters are non-human while only 17% are women
A Profile of Americans’ Media Use and Political Socialization Effects: television and the Internet’s relationship to social connectedness in the USA ― Daniel German & Caitlin Lally
There are more “non-humans” on TV than women. Talk about unequal gender representation in the media.

Inside My Head: Etymology of the word "Princess" →
I would just like to point out, as I always do, that Mulan isn’t a princess. She didn’t even marry into royalty. Pocahontas passes because as a chief’s daughter, she’s an Indian princess….
Just my two cents - instead of getting upset about “whitewashing by taking Mulan off the Disney princess movement,” why don’t we insist on a new market that values ALL female characters, including warriors like Mulan, Regular Joe’s like Belle, and all others for who they are?
The whole “everyone wants to be a Disney Princess thing” is (in my opinion) taking away girl’s dreams of being something that doesn’t focus solely on their looks and societal status. Or more importantly, isn’t dependent on their relationship to a man (married a prince, daughter of a king, etc).
Unfortunately I’ve seen this in all ages of girls and women, especially in the Christian community because of the connections between the monarchical setup of the trinity portrayed in scripture and Disney movies.
We’re perfectly fine with women being sexual, as long as they are objects and they’re passive, and we can turn them on, turn them off, download them, delete them, whatever it is. But as soon as it’s women who want to have any kind of exclusionary rights about their intimacy, we hate that. We say, ‘No, we’re going to make a whore out of you.’

Wearing whatever the hell you want is an inalienable right.
Not being raped is an inalienable right.
Wanting to exercise two of your inalienable rights at the same time is not “entitlement”. I wish I could just ignore this, but some people actually believe it.
Is this a real poster? I can’t find the website or the group.

The only problem I can think of with this is the “it’s her loss” comments after rejection or a break-up. That was a standard cheer up in my group of friends, and it doesn’t necessarily promote feelings of entitlement, just general self-esteem.
