When you vote simply because you relate with physical traits, then you are using your voting right in an incredibly dull way. Your vote counts for the whole country, and if you vote due to skin color or gender, you are not going to be focusing on how they would be able to actually run the country.
Women should not be allowed to "do whatever they want", they should be allowed to do what it is law allows women, or anyone to do.
I agree that women should also be allowed to be in the same line or work as men, although only if they are capable of working to the same standards. Areas such as fire department, law enforcement, military, and so on try to lower the standards of women to be able to get in to these areas, which is wrong. These areas of work are not for the people wanting to apply for them, they are to do a specific job, and if you cannot meet the standards required, they should not be lowered so you can meet them.
"It has been proven time and time again a man can earn more money working the same job as a female."
No, it absolutely has not. It has been proven that men "earn" more than women in the same "field" of work, but that does not mean they are in the same "Position" or do the "same" work in those fields.
Infact, it has been proven that the reason for the pay gap is not due to gender discrimination, it is due to the choices women make compared to men.
Men are more likely to look for high paying jobs that are less satisfying to work, where as women are less likely to look for a high paying job if the job is uncomfortable and not satisfying at all.
Men are also more likely to do the dangerous aspects of the job, which gives them reason to be paid more than those that don't.
The wage gap has been proven to exist, however it has also been proven to not be due to gender discrimination and everything to do with the choices women make compared to men.
Here is a video on the subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_sGn6PdmIo&list=FLDcQUoqjuGHLrFfQAbx5PbQ
"People like you are one of the reasons racism and discrimination still exist today.
You're getting upset because there aren't any 'white people scholarships', and because minorities and women are trying to empower themselves after centuries of oppression. To this day, a white male has a higher success rate in America than anybody else."
No, actually, people like you are. You are trying to give off this impression sexism and gender inequality exists in areas they do not exist, all because you have listened to probably the most corrupt movement of our time: Feminism.
There is a difference between trying to empower yourself and trying to get special privilege due to being a victim, which feminists tend to confuse all the time.
"I am a victim of sexism every day in my life, and I have life so unfairly due to being a woman. I am a victim in most areas of society as a woman, and so I should be able to get this and get that to counter all of this sexism against me for being a woman".
That is not being an "empowered" woman, that is being a "whiny" woman.
Success rate?
More women than men go to college now. Despite this, we are still focused on women being encouraged to go to education than men, even when men need it more.
Less than ten percent of domestic violence shelters accept men, regardless of men being just as much victims as females.
As for the "centuries of oppression", I just find this bit annoying. "You" have never been in that position, yet you are implying you are having to try empower yourself from the oppression you have never once faced in your life.
Want to talk about oppression? Men were forced to fight, kill, and die in a war against their will, women did not. To this day, that is still something men can still be forced to do if war comes, women do not.
Originally, the reward for this was that men could vote, they had a say in the government and country they sacrificed for.
How did women get to vote? By protest. So in the end, men were forced to fight, kill, and die against their will, yet got nothing for their actions that a group that did not have to do the same thing also got.
Yes, men did have more power than women in the past, yet you forget they also had far more responsibility in the past aswell than women did.
When it comes down to it, women, atleast in western society, do not face as much sexism as feminists try to make out they do, which is why they are trying to now say that "trolls" only go after women, regardless of the fact they go after everyone regardless of gender, and why? Because they know they are running out of things to say is "sexism".
I never implied I'm trying to empower myself, and I never said I was oppressed. That doesn't change the fact that women and minorities have indeed been oppressed for centuries. This is where the feminist movement came from, this is why minorities are living in poverty, and this is why opportunities created specifically for minorities exist.
Domestic abuse does NOT affect as many men as it does women, 100% positive.
As a presumably white male you have no room to talk.
You're biased and full of shit. Seriously, shut the fuck up. Please.
Apologies. I assumed you were speaking from the average feminist standpoint that implies what I was stating by their statements and ideology that implies that is what they are implying.
Yes, there has been many issues in the past for each group that has had to deal with, like I explained about the draft, so much so that men even today can be forced to do that today.
Yes, this may be where the feminist movement came from, that doesn't mean that just because the movement had a just cause "then", that is has a just cause, or any cause "now". Many feminists now in their old age, from the original feminism, have also said how modern feminism is, to put it short, not needed like it used to be.
Wrong. You are once again going against facts. You clearly feel so entitled to your victim complex that you do not want to even consider the idea that men are also equally victims.
Here is an article about it: http://www.theguardian.com/society/2010/sep/05/men-victims-domestic-violence
Men are also far less likely than women to report their abuse, which could suggest, given that counting the ones that do we can see it being on an equal grounds, then considering that studies show men are equally likely to be victims, then think how men are less likely to report than women are, it can then be assumed that given that since the reported victims are around equal, then considering less men would come forward despite the victims being equal, that men may well be the majority of victims.
If the reports show that equal amount of men are victims, then considering less men will come forward implies more men may well be victims than female victims.

"As a white male"? So because I am a white male that changes anything? Why does my gender or my race mean anything on this matter? It doesn't change the facts just because I, a white male, is reading them.
If I am biased due to being a white male, then you are also bias due to being a white female, or does that only work against men?
I have provided links and facts that your small little mind could not comprehend. You are clearly the bias one here, as I am not speaking for a bias standpoint, I am speaking from what I read and research standpoint, where as you don't do that, as shown due to your lack of knowledge on the matter, which means "you" are infact the one speaking from a bias".
You can call me names all you want, that's your right, but don't be a complete hypocritical fucktard, showing themselves to have the brain power of a stick in the process. It saves me having to point out how stupid you are.
You and I both know the reason for such a small response. You know you can't prove yourself correct, just as I am sure you know I can prove myself right, as I have. Hence why you have given far less a response than you have others.
So, not due to your gender, not due to your race, you should "shut the fuck up" based on your incapability to produce a rational thought, in short, you you have "no room to talk" due to being a complete dipshit.
