Actually quite the opposite: if you have woman parts you can get as many man parts as you want.
two words - MAN BOOBS.
two more - NO MILK
Women are CLEARLY superior.

Not everything is, nor has to be. However, I don't feel the need to hold back from calling things out that are, except out of boredom and a lack of time.
No, there was nothing *anti-*men about it, because it described going a little too far in how men are supposed to be.
Oh, so this is another variation on "Just shut up". Here I thought it might be something original.
Historical precedent is not justification for wrongness. I doubt you would make a similar argument for belittling slavery of outside tribal groups, even though that also dates to the beginning of agriculture.
If only one person does dome more reflection based on my comments, it's worth it to me. Since the ridicule of those such as yourself is meaningless to me. I have the privilege of discussing this in spaces such as here.
Hey, you've discovered the 1980s! Good work.
How men are supposed to be? I'm not entirely sure what that means. I thought anti-sexism was all about eliminating bias and understanding that both men and women do not have to fit into any arbitrary gender-based cultural expectations. Or is this just about a personal pet-peeve against associating female genitalia with timidness or cowardice? There are COUNTLESS negative gender stereotypes. Even something like "you don't have the balls to face me" is objectively far more negative than what you're so upset about. At least "being a *****" causes a lot fewer problems than the aggression expected from and associated with masculinity. But I couldn't see you jumping on that, because it isn't all that trendy within liberal circles.
And not all things are equally wrong. Some random dude saying something pretty inconsequential on a tiny message board is a bit different than slavery. And I'm not telling you to shut up. If I were, we wouldn't be having this debate. I'm saying you're overreacting. I'm not saying you're wrong or that it's wrong to have female parts. I'm just saying that a conversation about sexism can be had without the melodrama.

Sorry, I was unclear. I was referring current cultural expectations of men, not my hope for future cultural expectations. YOu';re right that I did not choose to respond to that comment, and could well have. It may well be a liberal bias at play there, I'm not sure.
I'm typing into a message board. I'm not even using all caps. How is that over-reacting? The only way to react less would be to not react at all, aka, "just shut up".
I agree that not everything is. But that does not stop people from laying accusations of such about everything. As for something that "is" Well you seem to be in the distinct minority here. You are wrong and trying to make a foolish, nonsensical arguement. have fun!
As siromar has pointed out, I don't even comment on everything that is sexist, much less everything.
Was there a reason you thought that worth mentioning? Were yo under the impression that I thought my position would be well and widely received?
I appreciate that you don't understand the argument, and you may never understand it. However, your characterization as "foolish, nonsencical" is flatly wrong. As for fun, I did and will have it, thank you, and I'm not impressed by the flounce.
No, but you are under the false impression that you are right.
