Can you imagine casting for “Ugly Girlfriend?” Can you imagine being the girl who got the part? Can you imagine being a girl who got turned down for the part, especially if the mean kids in middle school found out? “haha did you hear Stephanie is too ugly to get cast as ‘Ugly Girlfriend’ in the John Hughes movie!”
They’re not degrading men. They just know that if someone finds out that boy was the ugly girlfriend photo, the worst insult they can reasonably make out of it is “dude, you’re an ugly girl.” To which the boy can say, “yeah, that was the whole point.”
This men’s rights nonsense is stupid, but even more stupid when the complaint itself doesn’t make sense.
Men having rights is not stupid. “Men’s Rights” is stupid, because we already have them. Any man who has fewer rights than a woman in modern society is discriminated as such because of something about them other than their gender.
It’s like fighting for the rights of drivers of passenger cars on the road, or the rights of cute puppies to be adopted from the pet shop. It’s like owning the Extended Edition of Lord of the Rings and demanding a scene that was in the theatrical cut. It’s like buying a cheeseburger at McDonald’s and specifying that you want it to include beef. It’s like playing Smash Bros against level 1 CPUs with all weapons on and complaining that you didn’t get the hammer. It’s like fighting for LeBron’s right to play basketball; to wit, nobody’s stopping him.
I’m strong enough in my masculinity that I don’t have to pretend to be oppressed just to feel good about myself.
I don’t have anywhere near enough knowledge about Norwegian politics to be able to speak on any of that. All I can tell you is that, worldwide, men have all the rights, and women only have some of them.
By the way, I recommend against using the “R” word (“Sometimes r— stuff are being addressed”). It’s a slur against people with mental illnesses.
