Busting Myths About Modern (Non-Extreme) Feminism (Page 9)

[DanTX]

Can't disagree with you about Saudi Arabia. But it seems like most liberal feminists ignore the REAL oppression of women in the Middle East, and focus their cries of misogyny on people in the US who just don't want to be forced to pay to subsidize other people's sex lives.

Men get the respect from their peers for fulfilling Societal obligations, I'm no feminist expert to say what is considered the highest achievement for a woman.

[kholland65]

I support what feminism stands for, but I don't support what its really doing to young women, and that is my point. What feminists say and do are to totally different things most of the time.

Oh, and here is what I think about number 12

you never explained yourself. I know what egalitarianism is but that's not what feminism is. I'm sure you have a soft spot in your heart for what feminist once was a hundred years ago. but feminism hasn't been about equality for fifty years

[JayCasper777]

Stop feminism. Start a new movement. One that means what it says.
A movement for equality.
Not feminism.
Simple.

I think you need a reading comprehension check, actually. I said why I wasn't elitist, but if believing in equal rights makes me "elitist" and "hateful" so be it. I'm thankful that I don't have to deal with guys like you on a daily basis.

I'm so exhausted by the ignorance of your comments that I am weary. I'm done explaining myself. If you want answers, read my article again, look through the comments, read about what egalitarianism truly means, etc. I'm done with you, dudeman.

"...irrational people, and orders are good for prosecutors and police - not always for women."

You wouldn't want to make someone who doesn't know how to cook (or couldn't even lift up the frying pan) head chef, would you? Same goes for the military. If the majority of women could tackle combat, it would be fair, but it's not fair at all.

Also:

"NPR Pentagon correspondent on the first two women allowed into the Marines' grueling 12-week Infantry Officer Course in Quantico, Va. Both women were in outstanding physical condition, yet both dropped out early in the training."

[Forgetable]

I laughed, just as I did when I finished a psychology of women course. Feminists/feminism makes me laugh for a number of reasons, it's a bad joke.

[Anonymous]

Misupanda, that is exactly what I mean! Some men are taught to hate women, and consequently some women learn to hate themselves. Horrible. I don't understand why so many guys have a bug up their butt over this article.

[Anonymous]

Rape culture exists, period. So does patriarchy. Sure, it's not as bad in the U.S. as in countries like Saudia Arabia, India, etc., but it's real, and many guys hate women simply for being women. It's not okay.

[titoloco]

Just to end this there. I agree with your view, but I'll do what I deam necessary to survive and prosper, within the boundaries of the LAW.

Thank you footballfan993!

Btw even Cracked has a feminist-friendly article: link

Also, I found this article to be worth mentioning: link

Most ordinary feminists feel about extremists the same way most Christians feel about Westboro Baptist Church... :)

[6Paul11]

Feminist has strayed far from its original intent. I support equality but I do not support feminists or feminism.

But when is comes to abortion, it is viewed that it should be a crime to get an abortion, and that it should be hard to have an abortion.
