The article these comments are from is about how women in the workplace are still judged more on looks than on their abilities (it is linked at the bottom)…
Commentor: Both Parties Are Corrupt u Know.
Really? I work with 400 other people. 10 people per team. 39 women some of them ugly as sin - one White Boy. That’s the make up of the supervisors.
What’s total bull is the HR domination by women - they hire their own gender and then this crap.
In the United States the squeaky wheel gets the grease and American women whine whine whine.
And you wonder why there is a huge market for Internet brides from anywhere but the United States. Spoiled Rotten is what you are.
But it gets better because he adds another comment and says…
The most discriminated individuals in the United States are white males over 40.
Period end of story.

There is a tumblr blog, http://whoneedsfeminism.tumblr.com/, where users send in statements that start “I need feminism because…” One of them said, “I need feminism because of people like this…” and the link lead here —> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=144005391
The website also shows men and women holding up signs that say “I need feminism because…” but the page was full of comments mocking the people in the pictures. Here are a few…

can someone post a pic of themselves with a placard saying “i need feminism because I need something to laugh at”?
Yea. I mean, it would be absolutely hilarious if women were to be treated the same way as men because we’re obviously second class citizens.
Commentor:RH1N0BRAH

I don’t even have the words to comment on this one. It makes me so angry. Later he comments…

“I need feminism because I am a beta white knight phaggot”
-every man posting a sign
Apparently men can only support equal rights if they are gay.
Commentor:Winstonbaby
I need sexism because you’re a lesbian
Why would I need feminism if I were a straight woman? I guess I could just get a man to take care of me because that’s all I am supposed to want.

I need a femanist because I feel the need to punch someone right now.
It just goes on and on, and I seriously can’t handle continuing to look at what people have to say.
1. In 2010 women who worked full time, year round, still only earned 77 percent of what men earned.
2. For working women between the ages of 25 to 29, the annual wage gap is $1,702. In the last five years before retirement, however, the annual wage gap jumps to $14,352.

I was looking on the Huffington Post website in the women’s section (they have a lot of great articles and blogs there if anyone is interested) and I saw this. I think we need to talk more about what women need from sex - because let’s be honest, sometimes men don’t really know how to work things down there, but who can blame them if we never talk about it?
A pharmacist at a Nampa, Idaho, Walgreens refused to dispense medication that stops uterine bleeding because she suspected the woman may have had an abortion. The pharmacist invoked the state’s new so-called conscience clause that allows pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for emergency contraceptives and abortifacient drugs, among other things, if they have a personal problem with it.
[…] The problem here is bigger than one anti-choice pharmacist. One of the biggest problems with conscience clauses is that they single out one issue (reproductive care) and make it okay for individuals to deny care based on their personal feelings on the issue. People argue that health care professionals shouldn’t have to provide care they disagree with. Really? So then should racist doctors be able to opt out of treating people of color, anti-Semitic nurses ignore Jewish patients, or sexist pharmacists deny medicine to women? For examples that hit even closer to home: why not have pharmacists allowed to deny single men erectile dysfunction medication and pain pills (you never know, they might be related to a vasectomy)?
I really want to dissect this comment that I found after reading a very moving article (sourced at the bottom) on the Texas Observer website. I was struck initially by the comment in general, but then I realized there was a much larger problem with the way it was structured. So here is the comment, and I will discuss the issue I take with it as whole underneath.

WOMEN BE GLAD that someone has now given you the power to make informed choices. For whatever reason, some people think women should not be informed to make decisions that affect their lives. Thanks to the TExas Legislature and the Governor for taking a step in making sure women are informed before making decisions. Take the information and then make your choice.
Now let’s break this down.
Apparently, women had to be given the power to make informed choices - we were incapable of doing this before. This is what I really take issue with. The assumption here seems to be that women wantonly decide to get abortions as they please and have no intention of informing themselves of what it is they are doing. I’m pretty sure all the resources now being forced upon women by the Texas Legislature were available to them beforehand. I find it insulting that the government will not treat me as a first class citizen capable of informing myself. I have to be spoon fed information on my life decisions because I apparently lack the ability to be responsible on my own. That is what I feel this commentor is really trying to say. And don’t even get me started on the fact that only the woman has to take part in this. God forbid the would-be father have to be informed about the consequences of his choice.

Birth control: Used by women to prevent pregnancy, but has a variety of other uses.
Viagra: Used by men so they can have sex.
Insurance companies pay for viagra, and no one says anything. The government tries to get insurance companies to pay for birth control and thousands of people claim they are making insurance companies pay for women to have sex.
Wanna tell me this isn’t a women’s rights issue?
