do people not understand that the point of legalizing child labor is regulating child labor. so that child laborers can like, be legally protected if they experience violence and such violence can be prevented by putting legal guard rails in place. instead of our current system that leaves child laborers with no recourse of protection.

Yeah fuck that
we don't want a dick we want respect
Remembering that time when conservatives were getting all mad about a little boy wearing a dress because it was "sexualizing" him
It was a normal little girls dress, nothing sexual
Kind of goes to show how girls are sexualized from birth if anything
I think this deserves its own post without my personal ramblings mixed in:
Whenever anyone panics or whines or scaremongers about the higher rate of women attending university, it's important to examine why more women are motivated to attend university in the first place, because I guarantee you it's no female privilege of any sort that's driving more women to obtain university degrees.
Specifically you need to look at the job opportunities that are available to men without a university degree vs. the job opportunities available to women without university degrees.
A lot of the jobs / sources of income that are stable and pay well despite not needing university degrees, trade jobs like a mechanic or a plumber or a welder, are heavily male dominated industries. And male dominated industry is pretty synonymous with hostile towards women. I cannot blame women who resist entering a field they're likely to face a lot of harassment, bullying, and even assault for daring to be a woman who enters a male dominated job.
And when you look at the types of jobs that are available to women who don't attend university often most of their opportunities are going to be food service or retail, jobs that pay less than a living wage for you to be on your feet all day facing constant verbal abuse from customers and managers alike.
So if a woman wants to be paid her own living wage and lower her chances of having to deal with abuse and harassment in the workplace, then she's more likely to be pushed to having to go to university.
There are of course exceptions to this (after all nothing is black and white and everything has nuance) such as many technician jobs in the medical field don't require a university degree, and are female dominated, and fetch a decent salary above what a service industry employee might make.
But overall it's interesting when you compare a lot of "pink collar" jobs like nurse or primary school teacher vs blue collar jobs like mechanic or plumber, the wages are comparable, but the "pink collar" jobs like nurse or primary school teacher will require a university degree whereas the blue collar jobs with a similar salary don't.
So when someone tries to worry and panic over the poor boys not going to university as much as their female counterparts and site the higher rates of women attending university as some sort of female privilege, to be perfectly honest I hardly consider it a privilege to need a university degree just to have a living wage without having to face harassment for entering a male dominated industry, to have more schooling than a man just so you can earn the same wages as his or even lower.
Reminds me of something happening now...
Finding out that the Nazis privatized industry at a time in which such a thing was unheard of until decades later with neoliberalism has had my brain on fire. I already knew fascism was capitalist but this is the most capitalist.
So you're socialist but GC radfem hates unions.
Can you point me to the post where I said I hate unions or where I said somehow simultaneously agree with the stances of every single GC radfem in existence?

Lmao sure ok?
So how the fuck would you treat a child equal to an adult?
Because from my memory, the last time that was close to a thing (aka at least treating kids who hit puberty like adults), we had child labor and child marriages, and school wasn't required after like 6th grade.
So, do children have the maturity for all that, or is it necessary to be "ageist"?
thoughts on youthlib?
Honestly I had basically no idea about this movement but I just looked it up.
It makes some sense, like for rights to education, protecting children from child abuse, etc.
However, I don't see how it's a good idea to get rid of "ageism" towards young people since it's just a fact that children are immature and shouldn't be treated equal to adults.
How about you? (you can just send me another anon message saying "youthlib anon here" or something)
Why would agriculture existing mean that the patriarchy needs to exist?
I'm aware that the patriarchy started during agriculture and has lasted thousands of years, but the same could be said for the slave-owning mode of production.
Just because something lasted a long time, doesn't make it eternal, unless you think there's some natural law that puts women below men. And if you do somehow think that, I'm sorry but you're not really a feminist.
lowkey getting tired of self defeatist blackpill attitudes "the patriarchy will never end" Why not? We went from using boats to rockets in like 200 years but you think men will forever have privilege in society? Why do you think that?
