I think I'm talking to a brick wall here.
No, MiladyRenata, we are human beings. Women taking time out of their busy lives to share their own experiences and feelings as women. And you, claiming to "think, feel and act like a woman", cast us as a lifeless, monolithic obstacle to your desires. I think that is rather telling. The typical response of women when other women share their experiences as women is most definitely not that. Come to think of it, I've not seen that happen in half a century of interacting with women and girls.
If you honestly, genuinely think that women are being "oppressed" then maybe there is no frame of reference for a rational conversation. It's the opposite to how I see things.
Yes. That comes from being born into and socialised as part of the oppressor class. Male privilege accrues to every male being on account of their sex. Even the sensitive, bullied males have it. They may not actively participate in the oppression of females by males, but they benefit from the results of that oppression all the same. You don't need to be aware of it for that to be true.
The truth is that the oppression of women and girls by men and boys is one of the oldest forms of oppression on the planet. It emerged more than 6000 years ago with the birth of the supremacy of fatherhood.
Women and girls have only had even rudimentary rights for about 1.67% of that time. And that was all in the last 100 years. No wonder our rights are precarious. We couldn't own property, we couldn't even own ourselves. We had no rights at all. And now, before we have even reached parity with men, the rights we have are under attack.
It is perfectly rational to analyse what happens to women and girls on this planet today and understand the observed treatment of women and girls as oppression.
It starts before birth with the statistically significant occurrence of sex-selective abortions of female fetuses even in Western countries, and it continues after death in the way women are written out of history to this day.
And from birth to death we endure oppressive practices, systemic discrimination and endemic male violence.
At the very least, I would expect someone who claims to identify as a woman to identify with us. And that requires at a bare minimum the realisation that seeking to understand the reasons underlying the bad things that happen to female people living in a male-dominated world is a perfectly rational impulse. I'm not asking you to accept it, by all means refuse to believe women are oppressed, but framing a radical feminist analysis of our treatment as irrational is for me the embodiment of male privilege.
Of course, it has become rather common for Western men's rights activists, and even some males from teen age onwards not aligned with that movement, to deny that women and girls in Western democracies are oppressed on the basis of their sex. They might concede we face a bit of discrimination and sexism, but oppression? No way. That's just hyperbole. Women can vote, work, have their own money. For crying out loud, not even a husband is allowed to demand sex anymore!
Nonetheless, they are wrong. On a personal, interpersonal, institutional and cultural level we continue to face exploitation, violence, marginalisation and even a form of cultural imperialism in the form of gender (the sex stereotypes and sex role stereotypes associated with our sex).
As a group and as individuals, men benefit immensely from women's contributions to society, our abilities, our support, our productivity. And yet these contributions continue to be devalued, to such an extent that besides not even being paid for much of this labour, we are then penalised for the time we provided this unpaid labour that benefited society when we return to work.
Which is a pity, but it is what it is.
It is a pity, there we agree. But I don't think we feel that pity about quite the same things.
