MRAs are retarded. Hardline feminists are obnoxious but more correct than MRAs. Social justice is cool.

How are we supposed to do this without arguing?

Personally I have one idea as far as this goes. Live and let live. So long as it doesn't affect people negatively or is illegal, believe/act/dress however the hell you want, but without forcing such things one others.

I would say that this is flipped, SJW feminists are retarded and MRAs are obnoxious but more correct than SJW feminists. Social Justice is cool, in certain circumstances.

How can you even call yourself a liberal lol.

Because i understand the concept of egalitarianism in that are people are to be treated equal in the eyes of the law. I look at data and observable fact instead of "feelings" and make conclusions based on the evidence presented before me. Unlike you who buys into the "women are oppressed! we need change!" section of people when in actuality there are sections of the law in which women have the upper hand, specifically marriage and child care, which are not major issues but worth noting. To be a liberal, you do not have to be a feminist, at best you need to be an egalitarian but even that is not always true.

Your problem nipple is that you do not understand liberalism.

Btw, when have i ever said i was a liberal? I'm a socialist, democratic socialist to be specific.

The term Liberal's so broad at this point, it's basically fruitless. There are a stupid amount of Liberal ideologies out there, ranging from the center to the radical left. It's rediculous.

But yeah, I support Social Justice. Equality and Meritocracy should be the guiding principle in life, have everyone work on an equal playing field so that those who deserve wealth and power can earn it. I've always supported Egalitarianism over Feminism, because lately Feminists seem to be more and more... Misandrists than anything else.

Basically, I guess the way to describe it is, treat everyone how they deserve to be treated. Treat'em like a dick if they're a dick, a retard if they're a retard, a hero if they're a hero and a genius if they're a genius. Always seemed simple to me.

Also still say Democratic Socialism isn't the best of paths. I don't need Swedish housing blocks in America.

Just because i am a democratic socialist does not mean i want to literally copy pasta sweden's way of democratic socialism. What i would like to do is take many of the good ideas they have in sweden, norway, denmark and iceland and apply them to the united states. Not all their ideas are good just as not all their ideas are bad, same applies for the US. Mostly what i want is free healthcare, free education, tax breaks for the poor and middle class (if possible), higher taxes for the rich and well off, as well as a decent infrastructure. This idea is not impossible, it may even be arguably good for an economy to have more money in the pockets of the middle class. This is all backed by evidence and not "oh read this book some austrian guy wrote 100 years ago!"
