Most of the western world likes to perpetuate the notion that women are still suffragettes living in a world of male oppression. Feminists make up endless amounts of false information to support this claim of victimhood, but how much of it is really true? How much of it adds up?
Wait, lets rewind a minute.
What are some of the common claims of 21st century feminist victims suffragettes?
Most commonly, feminists like to claim that they don’t have opportunities like men, they don’t have enough money compared to men and they don’t have political power. Feminists also say they can’t be sexist because they are not the “class in power”. The main problem is with this “class in power” idea. How is the class in power defined. Is it in sheer numbers & voting power? Is it the amount of wealth in the group? Is it the amount of education in the group? Government rights?
Lets start debunking each one of these bullshit claims.
Women Are The Populace & Voter Majority
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation the overall gender demographic of the United States is 49% male and 51% female. Women are technically, the majority gender in the United States. Due to the fact women are the majority of the population, they are also the majority of voters. According the US Census the gender breakdown of voters are 47.9 male and 52.1 female. This means that women ultimately hold more voting power and majority than men. When your gender group has the majority of voting power, you are not oppressed.

Women Control Most Wealth
At first this statement might be hard to believe, but statistically it’s true. It doesn’t mean women accrue more wealth than men – it just means that they control it. According to The Bank of Montreal’s Wealth Institute, women control 51% of wealth or approximately $14 trillion dollars. Part of this change is accredited to the fact that in Canada 52% of management jobs are now occupied by women. If your gender group controls the majority of wealth and management positions in a westernized country, you are not oppressed.
Women Are More Educated Than Men
More women are going to college than men. According to Time Magazine when it comes to people between 25-34 years old, women account for 37.5% of bachelor degree holders while men only account for 29.5%. This is a trend that is only increasing over time and proves that women have it better when it comes to education. If your gender group has more education or education opportunity, you are not oppressed.
Women Have Equal Government Rights
There is not a single fundamental right that men have that women do not. In addition to that, women have more rights over-all when it comes to reproductive choice. Women also have the majority of benefits when it comes to alimony, child custody and child support. It is CLEAR that women have government favoritism when it comes to family courts and also serve less time in general for the same crimes as men.
In Summation, signs you are no longer oppressed and you are not a suffragette.
- Primary Voter Power
- Control Majority Of Wealth
- More Educated & More Educational Opportunity
- Government Favoritism (Custody of Children, Alimony, Child Support)
- Serve less Time In jail For The Same Crimes
BONUS ROUND:
- Likely to Live Longer Than Men
- Leading Democratic Presidential Candidate = Hilary Clinton
- Make MORE money on average than men under 30.
Despite laying out all of aforementioned, feminists will generally start spewings some bullshit that I missed. Some bullshit like “You don’t know what it’s like to be cat called!!!!” Actually, I do. It happens when you’re a good looking man. That’s not oppression, and pointing out all the marginal ways you think you’re oppressed just reinforces the fact that….you’re really not.

WhoTheHell_Cares
Feminists are oppressed by the person they see in the mirror.
FeminismIsBullshit
Feminists are so damn convinced that they’re oppressed that they won’t listen to any other ideas. I have more of a problem with the modern feminists though. Years ago, I could see where they were coming from. But now, it’s all about smashing the patriarchy, being fatass lesbians that spend every waking hour on Tumblr, and whining on social media. Some say that they’re not all like that, and I guess that’s true. Just 99 percent of them.
