Super unfair comparison.

[–]koshka_ 6 points7 points ago

There is no way these two situations are comparable. What happened to him is terrible, but just because some girl got her project funded doesn't mean there is no oppression of females in society. The "glass ceiling", lower pay for women etc are still a reality, but that doesn't mean bad things don't happen to men.

[–]Slothasaurus 2 points3 points ago

Anybody can cherrypick two extreme examples, and use them as comparison, for example I can say, "Hey, Stalin killed a whole bunch of people, and he was an atheist, but Pastor Joe who lives down my street is a really nice guy, ergo, atheists are real dicks."

[–]Wisdom_Bro 9 points10 points ago

Those are two very different situations. You really can't compare them in this context like that.

[–]MOS95B 4 points5 points ago

Not enough information on the actual projects to be a legitimate comparison...

[–]nichlas482109 3 points4 points ago

Why attack half the population to try and raise support for this man?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

This is a comparison of an an apple and an orange.

[–]vox_barfly 1 point2 points ago

False equivalence is false.

[–]windwolfone 1 point2 points ago

..as are minorities, so thanks for proving this. Also: 2 single examples do not reality make.

Also: straw man argument: oppression is not what womans right's groups are generally speaking of, but unfair labor practices, sexism, double standards, the right to control your own body, etc.

Manipulative comparisons are manipulative

[–]jlxn 0 points1 point ago

I guess you missed the guy is black. Which is likely the root of his problem.

[–]fearandtuborg 0 points1 point ago

i'm not going to take this seriously. this has to be a troll.

[–]edude03 1 point2 points ago

[–]thesorcererssstoned -1 points0 points ago

Bias much?

[–]analdaisies -3 points-2 points ago
