If a Woman wants to stay home and be a housewife and cook and clean, it should be because it's something she chooses to do, not because society dictates that it's something she should do, as a Woman.

    There is no inherent Masculine or Feminine activities, or interests. Only thousands of years of men, the ruling class, the church, telling women what they can and can't do.
    Feminism once was about equality. Now women have equal rights, but this new wave of feminism wants more than that and as such they're the only ones I've seen shaming women into not following their proposed doctrine.

    If I make a statement and you say that I'm wrong then it is entirely your responsibility to provide proof to the contrary. If it wasn't then all you would have to do to end an argument is to just say "you're wrong".

    If I followed the conversation, the burden of proof lies with the person who made the original claim.

    Attempting to shift burden of proof to those who should disprove you is in fact a fallacy within itself.

    So, no, it is not the burden of proof for others to disprove the original claim.

    If that were the case it wouldn't matter how many sources someone could site to make their claim, the opposing side could just dismiss them with "you're wrong" without having to show any evidence.

    But women don't have equal rights, they're still institutionally discriminated against

    This is where types of sources come in handy.
    We accept and respect scholarly and peer reviewed sources.

    Just remember, anyone can make an argumentative claim. But to say a claim is true until disproven ? No, rather you present your claim and its value stands atop the proof you provide for it.

    Edit : I'm one hasty poster. In a public forum such as this, you're right. Even with all the reputable proof someone could say what they want without providing evidence for refuting. Something we just have to accept in daily life outside of official debates. Providing good proof can make for a valid argument. Those who refute without evidence are often not taken seriously. So, there's that peace of mind ahahaha.

    You miss the part where that university was caught and called out on their actions. This shows that those actions are not tolerated. Unfortunately the article didn't say what penalties the university accrued due to their actions. Hopefully a hefty fine at the least and a loss of their accreditation at best. This also isn't proof of widespread discrimination on either a national or global scale.

    Apologies, I slammed that post button faster than a Google Lucky search.
    I edited my post to respond to the rest of your comment.

    Basically, you're right. People can simply so no to you despite what proof you bring. Have you seen the world today ? It's laughable. But then again, you hold a valid argument with a good foundation of sources. Those who refute with nothing ? Eh.
