Great phucking post!
As a 17 year old with much ahead of him, it's interesting to see anecdotal suggestion that there are in fact biased teachers out there to that extent.
Next, you were the first person in here to finally call him out for straying from the curriculum to go on his political tangents bordering on indoctrination/forcing 100% of his views on to you territory.

You could troll the class by going violent militant feminist. Find the most out there ideas and present it to the class as moderate feminism. Accuse any dissenters of being clouded by male dominated media oppression.
The only way you're going to do well in a class like this is to agree with the teacher.

Second article is full of ****. Only retards need to be taught not to rape. That's like saying "we should stop telling people to lock their doors and tell burglars not to burgle". Or even better, "we shouldn't need police, we should teach people not to commit crime, and put up posters that say DON'T CRIME". I'm sure that would work well.
culture that permits sexual assault
Unless you want to make the argument, and I really don’t think you do, that men are just going to rape no matter what—boys will be boys!—then we have a problem in our society that we can and must do something about. As men who aren’t part of the problem, it’s our problem to solve.
#YesAllMen have a responsibility to create a culture where #YesAllWomen feel as safe walking down the street as we do.

Its the age-old debate of what is ideal vs. what is realistic. In an ideal world, every man honors the same moral code and nobody needs to learn to protect his or herself from attacks that don't exist.
In a realistic world, no moral code will ever be universal and everyone - male of female - can empower his or herself by learning to defend themselves from realistic (albeit unfortunate and unfair) dangers. If this teacher had a daughter who turned up beaten and raped, would he say "well, I never taught her self-defense or how to spot signs of a potential attack, but I didn't need to because that wasn't the problem"... or would he wish he popped his utopian bubble and met the issue in the middle, keeping people from "blaming victims" while simultaneously keeping women from the glib, naive mentality that creates victims? Girls have the legal right to stagger down a dark alley drunk at 3am in nothing but a bikini, loudly proclaiming how drunk they are and how they'd sleep with anyone this second (even if they don't mean it), but is the principle of that right worth the realistic dangers that behavior invites?
Its illegal to hit someone with a car. Pedestrians have the right of way, but are still taught as kids to look both ways before crossing the street. "He asked if I looked both ways before I crossed... omg stop blaming the victim!"

Women earn less than men on average not because they are paid less but because they are worth less to an employer due to their biology. A woman who doesn't marry, doesn't have children, and basically has a career without breaks will earn more than a man for the same job.

****in lost it @ mansplaining. That term pisses me off so much
Don't waste your time OP. There is no point in arguing with feminists. Nobody changes their minds over an argument. Their egos are on the line and people get emotional and they don't even listen to what you're saying. You could have all the valid arguments in the world, if stmeone doesn't want to change his mind, he won't

Dafuq? We should be teaching BOTH. That being said, rapists are predators, so no amount of teaching is gonna do them any good. It's the same reason why people should be taught to carry a knife and/or gun around with them - regardless of what sex they are.
Anyways, OP, what you do is you PHUCKIN READ ALL DAT CHIT. You said it's a required class, so stop b*tching about it. Learn your stuff, and if you wanna talk about counter-arguments in class, then do that.
Unfortunately, as with many political topics, it's often the case that people on both sides really don't know what they're talking about, or at least don't fully grasp the important stuff.

Yes, actually you do need to teach your kids not to kill people. Teaching people to do stuff doesn't address the things they shouldn't do. They need both. Anyways, that's not really relevant to this discussion.
Kids in Africa (where they have REAL rape culture) do need to be taught not to rape because they think it's fine for guys to do it (but yet they blame the victim at the same time, and ostracize women who have been raped), and kids as young as middle school consider it a fun hobby, and yes I mean the majority of males that age, not just some small minority.
The United States is different though. We have a culture that already views rape as wrong, so the issue comes down to enforcing rules against rape. Whether it be police making sure to follow up on rape-kits and not victim blaming, or encouraging people to carry guns and/or pepper spray around with them so as to prevent a rapist from taking advantage of them.

I want to but honestly I don't know if it's worth all the effort and trouble since tmrw is the last day he's talking about this BS then we have a quiz on it and it's over. Plus, he's grading my essay so I don't want a lowered grade as much as i disagree with this ******* him lowering my grade is way worse than going on his gay little rant for one more day.

That's fair, but if you're taking that stance, don't argue with him in class. Even if you're right you'll just end up giving your prof. Reason to not like you and dock your grade... either sit back and silently take it, or go over his head. In my opinion, getting in class arguments with him is the worst thing you can do for YOUR long-term sucess

Print out the labor dept's own econometric study disproving the wage gap. The administrations own statistics bureau has shown that there is 0.4% wage gap, when you actually use legitimate statistical methods. POINT ZERO FOUR PERCENT. As in, non fuking existent.
Of course, these findings are backed by every other study done. But the admins own studies should be a little more persuasive. I had it bookmarked but cant find it now.
