I have many, and here they are:
Human life and animal life are not equal. Human life is far more valuable. Basic moral intuition tells us this. This doesn’t mean animals should be mistreated or should be killed as a hobby (i.e hunting) unless its for eating. However, ask yourself if you could save a baby toddler or a rat from dying, which one would you save? I would instantly save the toddler, not a rat. Most sane people would do the same. This alone shows that human life is more worthy of saving.
Science is very powerful, however we in this day and age blow its power out of proportion. Lets be honest, science is perceived by many as modern day God. A lot of the science we lay people take is really, faith. Atheists have heavy emphasis on proof yet they cannot realize that even science, which is limited to empirical evidence has to rely on factors such as logic, rationality and mathematics which it cannot prove. So how can science be at the forefront of evidences when it cannot prove the very factors it has to rely on? To add on top of that, you need to have faith in the scientific method you are using. If you do not have that, then how would you proceed to do the experiment and judge it according to what your method?
I don’t know why this is controversial but white people can be victims of racism just as much as anyone else. I mean, the amount of criticism and jokes and mockery made out of white people nowadays is way too far. If this was done to someone outside the white ethnicity, then they would be looked down upon.
Men and women are not equal when it comes to capabilities, biology and psychology. Needless to explain, this is a fact. Again, this is not to be sexist or anything. It is true.
The generally conservative views on social climate just makes more sense. I feel that liberal thought process is generally hard to be consistent with. I also feel that conservative thoughts and view points tend to have more logic behind them.
Gender roles exist and are natural and are more beneficial to societies than to not have them. There are certain things that are better suited for men such as construction, military, working in mines and others that are better suited for women. This isn’t to say men and women are limited to their roles. It simply means that men and women are more efficient in terms of certain roles in society. For example, even in Scandanavian countries that have gone further than any other country in terms of gender neutrality, the differences in genders are FAR higher than any other country. Women choosing to go into STEM fields has dropped further. Many psychologists argue that if you leave a society to make its own choice, men and women will segregate themselves in accordance to their capabilities and natural inclincation towards certain tasks. Also, you cannot blame “culture” because even the most conservative views and cultural expectations of women, have seen a huge portion of women in STEM fields, higher than the West. For example, Iran, 70% of graduates in medicine are women, in Algeria, 42% of graduates in computer science are women. If culture was the reason as to why women choose “traditional feminine” fields such as nursing, surely we would at least see a better rate in western societies of women choosing to go into STEM fields than Iran and Algeria, which are not known to be gender egalitarian.
Religion is the only way to objectively justify morality. Without it, you simply cannot. No, utilitarianism is not the answer. Saying utilitarianism is a way to derive morality is wrong because the greatest good for the greatest number of people doesn’t make something moral. Atheistic positions cannot justify morality. Again, this is not to say that atheists cannot be moral. It just means that they cannot justify it.
There will never be a system of absolute equality. Keep in mind, I am referring to it from an outcome perspective,, not opportunity or human value. Human value and opportunity should be equal all across the world. Human beings, generally are not perfectly equal in terms of their talent. Not everyone will make the same amount of money, have the same talents, or have the same luxuries.you simply cannot however, force equal outcomes.
Modern day western feminism has done more disservice to women than it has done good. They have forced many women to believe that they like to do things that they simply do not want to. Entering into workforce which women generally, do not want to. Spend hours at work as opposed to preferably spending hours with kids at home.
Wage gap doesn’t exist. This statistic of women earning 70 cents for every dollar a man makes is horse shit. They do not take into account the fact that on average, men do put in more hours at work, women take more time off of work due to having children. By the ways, there is nothing wrong with this. But at least be honest in statistics. When the differences are taken into account, we see the wage gap doesn’t exist. On top of that, more men are willing to work dangerous jobs hence why the fatality rate at work place is way higher for men. Not something we should make a big deal out of. Plus, if companies could get away with paying women less, they’d do it.
Men are dominant ones in society because they more of them tend to have dominance in their nature. There is nothing wrong with this and we shouldn’t lose our minds over this. Personality traits such as agreeableness, less prevalent in men.This is proven my numerous studies done. In fact in most gender neutral countries like scandanavian countries, the gender differences increased instead of decreasing. But this results in them being more dominant.
Women generally make different life choices than men when it comes to roles in society. Being dominant comes with too many responsibilities. Civilizations were built upon men conquering parts of the world, building societies etc. This isn’t to say women are not capable of doing this. They simply would rather not. This is why traditionally, it is the men that propose, men hold doors open, men protect the family, and women LIKE this. They prefer that the man does his part. Again, nothing wrong with this. We need to be a little more conservative in our thought process as it makes more sense and is more in line. It isn’t everyday labeling everything as sexist or traditional.
The issues men face in society isn’t talked about enough. Examples of this are suicide rates, fatality at work places, unfair judgement and settlements at divorce cases to name a few. When have you seen a feminist stand up for these? never.
Objective morality exists. Morality cannot be subjective. This gives the green light to anyone come out and say “stealing is okay” and gives as much legitimacy to it as someone who says “stealing is not okay”.
There is no real ethical reason behind being a vegan. To say “all life is valuable and we shouldn’t kill animals” raises the question that plants are classified as life. Now the argument against this is that plants do not feel pain. Debatable but even if I agree they don’t, that only throws the “all life is valuable” argument out the window because now your reasoning for not eating meat is that animals feel pain. Which implies that if we could find a way to kill animals without them feeling pain, it would be okay.
Equal outcome and equal opportunity is not the same. You can give people equal opportunity, however you cannot enforce an equal outcome. The more liberal side of the population seems to conflate the two. They think that there is unequal representation of people in every playing field because there isn’t equal opportunity. This isn’t true. In a free society, people are bound to make unequal decisions and therefore resulting in unequal results.
