I am wondering if I am the only woman who is tired of the feminist speaking for me. They are keeping the gender war alive and causing our male counterparts to treat us like men. Personally, I believe women can do any white collier job just as good as a man can. However, if I am in the military, I do not want too be forced into doing traditionally male jobs like combat. I am thinking about joining an anti-feminist group. It is possible to be strong women without emasculating men.
I don't think feminists are speaking for all women. And I think that women's lives have improved dramatically since feminism began. This seems like a strange stance to take. The goal behind most versions of feminism is to treat women as equals and allow them to live their lives however they choose. How could that be a bad thing? Do you think you are not equal to men?
I disagree with the feminist way of gaining equality. We shouldn't have to become men to be equals. We can be equal without going into combat. Women are physically weaker than men that is just a fact. I served 10years in the service. Trust me you don't want to do EVERYThing men do. There is power in femininity. I think you agree with me but you don't know the full aspect of feminism. Feminist aim to gain equality by emasculating men. oppressing the oppressor isn't right. - 4 months ago

Where is this combat thing coming from? I know of no feminist group that's pushing that.
As for emasculating men, well I guess it depends on what you mean. If it's emasculating for men to live in a world where a women is considered their equal, then yeah, I guess feminists are trying to emasculate men. If that's not the case I don't know what you are talking about. - 4 months ago

If you don't know what I am talking about, how can you comment? Find out for yourself. Is favoring women over men in custody battles making us even. NO it is not fare..if we are so equal then a man is just a capable of taking care of children as a women. This is akin to oppressing white people because of slavery. - 4 months ago

Hmm. Well okay, but I'm guessing that feminists within the ranks are a bit different than civilians. I stay pretty in touch with all feminist issues and I've really never heard of this. And whether it's the correct move or not, this probably is something that will be decided by civilians.
Really though, I can't see it ever happening. You'd need a powerful politician who was willing to become the "send your daughters to war" guy, and no one is ever going to go for that. - 4 months ago

As to your second point, women are generally favored in custody battles because they're generally the ones who provide most of a child's upbringing. I don't necessarily think that's a great way to go about it, and I'm sure some good fathers get screwed, but that's how it is. And that was true well before feminism had ever taken root. Divorce wasn't as popular, but children were always seen as being best off with their mothers. - 4 months ago
