I hate to be all “fragile masculinity”, but this comic seems to imply that men are somehow profiting from the situation and I really don’t think we are. Probably not what the artist intended to imply, but I figured I’d mention how it comes across.
Do people doubt your competence because of your penis? Do they pay you less because you have a beard?
The comic is recognizing the existing systemic inequality between men and women, and how trans women suffer from both the system, and TERFs.
What you’re not seeing in the comic is the billionaire driving past in his Ferrari, blowing smoke on these three. It’s all about perspective. Non rich men are on top of the bottom.
Its only in the last 50 years that women have been able to serve in wars.
Its only in the last 50 years that most women have been able to find employment in the same spheres as men.
Yet, most soldiers are men. Yet in every hard labor industry the majority of employees are men. Most homicide victims are men. Most suicides are men.
Now, I will admit that I was tutored under the patriarchy and there may be a discrepancy in my learning. However, it is no difficulty to cite my sources.
My point is that women have undoubtedly contributed MASSIVELY to human innovation, and have suffered under patriarchal social systems, but by no means is it that the road of capitalism is paved with the bodies of women.
Women have physically labored for much of human history. Their efforts haven’t been as recognized as much by historians as men’s efforts have.
That’s not to take away from how men have contributed, mind you. But to say that the road to capitalism is not paved with the bodies of women is false.
I completely agree that women have physically labored for much of human history, and also have contributed in equal measure to much of the advances we now take for granted. My comment was not to diminish the suffrage of women under unjust and unequal systems, but to highlight that the majority of fatalities under capitalism are men.
Women 100% suffer under capitalism, there is no argument there, and yes their are definitely women in the brick and mortal of the road. The points I made and the sources I linked are specifically in context to the comment saying, “The road is made out of women more than men”. If it is not an equal mix, the statistics I have access to would say that men make up the majority of fatalities under capitalism.
Alright, while I don’t see how I’m diminishing women’s contributions that doesn’t mean that it is not true. You’ve made your statement, but the burden of building your argument and coming out on the other end supporting that claim is on you.
I’ve cited sources to build my argument, I would expect equal labor if this is to be a conversation build on mutual respect.
Please attack the pieces of my argument that diminish women’s contributions under capitalism.

This isn’t a conversation built on mutual respect with how you’re framing women here through history. I have no obligation to meet men at this level when they’re trying to “logic” their way to discrediting women.
Because women don’t die in war. Or fail to receive proper medical treatment due to an establishment that failed to include them in research groups for most of history. Or are victims of domestic violence. And that’s just in the western world.

I just want to point out that often women are actively pushed out of spaces like this. Ask any woman who has gone into a male dominated field how she is treated. We are often pushed out because of sexism, misogyny, and sexual harassment.
Example: I wanted to be an electrician, I was actively working towards that goal. I overheard how another electrician and the job foreman spoke about my body and the nasty things they would do to me if they had the chance when they thought I couldn’t hear them. It was disgusting and made me unsafe in that environment.
“Poor men” didn’t vote for Trump. People without college degrees voted disproportionately for Trump (men and women alike). Even then, the state you’re in and your ethnic/religious persuasion was a stronger casual factor. Trump lost in a landslide with poor black and east-asian men, for instance. And he lost on the margin among poor men in the northeast and west coast.
Trump actually won with a majority of white women, against Hillary, Biden, and Kamala. This comic neatly illustrates why.
Show proof of causation and stop bringing up correlation like it means the same thing. Braindead takes like yours would see us ban ice cream just because ice cream sales are positively correlated with violent crime.
Not equal to each other? Also raising children should be recognized, but that doesn’t necessarily point to a specific sex. Over the last century women didn’t quite have the same physical burden men had.
I love how people are putting so much emphasis on childBIRTH as if that isn’t getting easier every decade due to scientific advances. Like, I can at least take the carrying of the child for 9 months seriously, but ffs a lady from my nutso church popped a kid out a few hours before Sunday service and she showed up just fine.
I don’t know if I would exactly discount the whole thing. It’s certainly gotten better understood but I don’t know if it’s gotten any easier. The birth of our first child, which had some serious complications was an eye opener for sure, and I’m definitely witness to how badly the whole thing can wreck a woman’s body. Your anecdote about the church wife isn’t really appropriate here. There are certainly women who are just damn good, for whatever reason, at giving birth to children. Kind of a hidden talent, and more the exception than the rule.
I’m just not sure if it all equals an entire adulthood of back breaking labor, or how much that even applies to today’s men. Things have changed, obviously.
You would discuss childbirth as a job? Like not as a part of the lifecycle of a mammal, or the job of an obstetrician, but the actual process of giving birth is an activity for hire that is done for lucrative income?
Sexual reproduction? Women are able to do things for themselves, are you telling me they get nothing out of being a mother? An activity that is difficult can exist without being called a job.
Someone better inform the rest of the 120 60 billion mammals on the planet they better clock on and pick up their paycheck for their 9-5 jobs.
Also, giving birth isn’t a re-ocurring activity one performs for their livelihood, it’s an event that someone goes through to achieve something, during a certain period of time under a week (ideally less than a day, but humans be bodying).
Not at all. Poor men benefit from having women be subjugated. If they have a wife they can always brutalize her with no consequences. If not a wife, they can brutalize a prostitute, or harrase any woman in the public.
No matter how low a man is, he is a little higher than the lowest woman.
Lmao, someones never seen how police handle literally any dispute between a man and a woman. 90% percent the dude is treated as if he’s at fault, even if the woman was throwing knives at him.
Edit: This one thinks Amber Heard was only ever a victim. Opinion invalidated.

What’s missing is the “camera” panning down to show that road is made of poor men, but that fits because many of them are functionally invisible.
The road is made out of women more than men.
No idea why this is being downvoted. Statistically, women have less wealth and more debt than men.

suicides by sex

Jobs by sex
homicides by sex

You are absolutely diminishing women’s contributions and also positioning them as less enslaved by capitalism than men.
There are many, many ways that capitalism claims lives that aren’t from war or construction.

Gee, I wonder if there’s a correlation between not being educated and being poor…
Is ‘poor people are poor because they’re stupid’ really the message you want to put out?
You know, it would be really nice if people would think before they post a stupid comment.
They’re poor because they can’t get a good job without an education, not because they’re stupid, though you might be an exception.
Fuck me for asking if you were intentionally implying poor people are stupid.
Ah yes, correlation. The last stop of the fascist mind.
Ah yes, as we all know, correlation is now a useless word that can never be used again.
Show proof of causation and stop bringing up correlation like it means the same thing. Braindead takes like yours would see us ban ice cream just because ice cream sales are positively correlated with violent crime.
really? Women are working the fatal and disgusting physical manual jobs?
What else would you describe childbirth as?
Tell us where this magical land is where they pay you to have and raise kids. I will move there immediately.
Not all jobs have salaries.
What’s the thing we call jobs you don’t have to do and don’t get paid for? Oh right, hobbies.
I wouldn’t call raising children a hobby lol
A South Korean firm is offering to pay its workers $75,000 each time they have a baby
Hope you like kimchi
Well how about that! That’s honestly really cool. I do love some me some kimchi, not gonna lie.
They’re offering that money because they have allowed sexism to such an extent that women don’t want to have children there at all.
Not equal to each other? Also raising children should be recognized, but that doesn’t necessarily point to a specific sex. Over the last century women didn’t quite have the same physical burden men had.
I love how people are putting so much emphasis on childBIRTH as if that isn’t getting easier every decade due to scientific advances. Like, I can at least take the carrying of the child for 9 months seriously, but ffs a lady from my nutso church popped a kid out a few hours before Sunday service and she showed up just fine.
I love it when people make it obvious they’ve never experienced something before but still want to speak like an authority on it.

Childbirth is literally referred to as “going into labor”. Like, Idk how else you would describe it if not nine months of hard work?
Sexual reproduction? Women are able to do things for themselves, are you telling me they get nothing out of being a mother? An activity that is difficult can exist without being called a job.
Someone better inform the rest of the

Pure gibberish. Even AI doesn’t produce shit this bad.
Prostitution
Not at all. Poor men benefit from having women be subjugated. If they have a wife they can always brutalize her with no consequences. If not a wife, they can brutalize a prostitute, or harrase any woman in the public.
No matter how low a man is, he is a little higher than the lowest woman.
So wait, do all poor men subjugate their wives and beat them? I just want to understand what argument you’re making.
They’re a misandrist. It’s as pointless talking to them as it is to manosphere idiots.
Lmao, someones never seen how police handle literally any dispute between a man and a woman. 90% percent the dude is treated as if he’s at fault, even if the woman was throwing knives at him.

Edit2: 🎶 The likes on lemmy go up and down, up and down, all day long. 🎶
This comic also implies that black people don’t exist, since there aren’t any in the comic.
See how stupid “implications” are?
You’re right, but this triggered the redditors. It’s like the meme where the kid puts the boot on his head. No one said men can’t be poor??
