Is Feminism the Enemy of Romance? (Page 3)

[Mesonfielde]

I think romance died with the Armani dresses and the Versace tote. And it died with the notion that just because something is traditional, it is also unconditionally correct. I am more into people who I can respect as a person and enjoys being respected as a person, rather than as a "lady". Ladies have their noses up too high. It just isn't attractive to me.

[CasaNorba]

YES!

it is the enemy of romance and the ally of ignorance arrogance, self entitlement, and gold digging

[anon4122]

I think you missed something here. Women like who act like football players after a game 24/7 mostly harm themselves in that less men will like them. The problem arises that there are little things they miss and you seemed to miss too like, wanting to be treated as a queen or have him always pay for the drinks or expecting to be seen as sexy. That is where men start to lose respect because Independent and self reliant means being able to take care of yourself even when it does not suit you.

Feminism has its bright spots, but as with everything, you give it a little bit of encouragement and the bastards go overboard with their ideas. Hallelujah..

[Anonymous]

Very few average people are really feminists or any other ist that really walks the walk. Much of what you're writing isn't necessarily related to feminism as causally as you're insinuating.

People are hypocrites because they're jerks. People sleep around for a whole slew of reasons. Tons of people have sibling issues. Etc.

[Arkan]

I agree with 1000000%. While all the feminists will claim this is not feminism, feminism is about equality etc. What you said is 100% true, loss of respect for women is an indirect effect whether they like it or not, it is quite clear.

[ruskodisco]

Oh yes, i avoid all feminists like the plaque.
This also transfers overt to regular females because us men know that there are a lot of feminists.
We can't trust any of you.
Let's not forget about millions of men all over america and Europe just giving up on relationships and marriage.
Good luck with all of that, ladies. cause your pickings are either in prison, in war, committing suicide or just simply deciding to not ever be in a relationship.
You ladies that are under 29 are screwed.

[YourFutureEx]

Yeah feminism sux for sure but I don't think that it influenced the romance because this problem is everywhere (even in the places where feminism doesn't even exist).

[Trayus]

Of course it is. It makes women unapproachable and mean spirited. Turns men into pussies, except for the fellow mean men, who will in turn treat u like sh*t. Really it's just ruined the whole thing. I just want to point out, the reason why 'men don't respect women' nowadays, is that women, don't respect themselves OR us.

"she taught me to outdo my brother who was 4 years my senior"

Wow. Sorry but your mother sounds awful. She clearly favors you over your brother when she should love you both with all her heart. Did she just not love him?

[DaveyYourFavey]

She probably favored he because she was a girl. Because her mother was a feminist who wanted an evil seed to sew into society. (not saying you're evil myTake owner :D but your mother sounds like she was)

People will sleep around just because that's what they want to do, and who are we to judge that? It gets to the point in life (some people just go straight to it) where you want to settle down. That's where the romance kicks in. Personally I've talked to guys and they've been so complimentary and don't expect 5 minutes in the bedroom for return. Certain people want certain things, it'll always be that way.

A feminist's dream date :D lol

[Sex-Kitten]

Lol omg xD Hahah. Fuck that.

[Opinion Owner]

@Sex-Kitten I'm surprised a woman found it funny. I was waiting for all the down votes :D

[SweetAndSassy14]

I can see where your coming from..
I say instead of being rude to feminist, just be yourself and find a man that is meant for you..
Forget those feminist who are rude, mean bitches...
Be who you are and keep your head up...
Not only that I'm the type of girl that likes a relationship that's very in tuned..
I believe that both partners should work together in any activity that they can do together like cleaning, cooking, washing clothes etc.

[Dragan]

I love women without male characteristics. With such a woman romance is a possible.

[Dipsy]

A man has to be like a man and a woman has to be like a women. It seems like feminism is trying to turn that around

[Dragan]

A man should be a man, not like a man. Woman should be woman.

[myTake Owner]

Thank you for your comments :)

[Anonymous]

Unfortunately, this is true.

I would never settle with a feminist because of how much they demonise marriage and having children.

[DaddyRollingStone]

You don't want anything to do with those kinds of girls, dude. They'll chew you up and spit you out.

[DaveyYourFavey]

Five of those very women down voted you..

[Pat8707]

Nice take, I agree with everything except how the end sounds like you want to kill them all or something 😕
(Lol this dude going around disliking everyone who doesn't like feminism)

[Johnyk]

Hahaha.. I notice it. When someone tells the truth, many people won't like it. That's normal.

[Pat8707]

Oh now there's a girl doing it too, oh well

[Calex]

I wanted to like this article but I didn't. It started out amazing, but then so many things popped up that I don't agree with at all.

[myTake Owner]

the beauty of a my take is that it is a persons take on life and not a factual piece but an opinion... what was it you dont agree with? I have written this poorly to be honest and not really put my views across correctly but i ran out of characters :(

[Calex]

Yeah I know, a take is basically an opinion.
Well, I thought about what you meant at first, about rivalry between men and women, which I agreed on, but then I suddenly noticed how it switched to women trying to be like men, which I don't think really affects romance that much. I also am not fond of certain traditions, but they are different depending where people live.

[myTake Owner]

well i am near Newcastle and I am sure you know the reputation girls have around here... I think it amplifies it 500% because we get all the people in our city to get laid, drunk and rowdy... I just want to go out and have a dance with my friends while being attacked by the Geordie Shore wannabes...

[jjmarvin]

While i don't like oversensativity, i don't think the answer is old fashioned roles. I'm not going to treat someone like a queen, but also not a princess, if that makes sense.

[WhaChaChaKing]

I pretty much disagree with everything you said. You honestly sound nothing like a feminist in my opinion.

[YourFutureEx]

And what should she said instead?

[WhaChaChaKing]

@YourFutureEx Nothing, because I don't think feminism is destroying romance at all.
