Do you believe in the saying "Feminists want the power of a man, the privilege of a woman, and the accountability of a child"? Why or why not?

[HawkPerception]

Yes

No

"Feminists want the power of a man, the privilege of a woman, and the accountability of a child"?

1. Well Feminists are associated with The Suffragists which were to gain voting rights for women, the same right that white land holding men only had the privilege of.
2. Feminists want the privilege of a woman, correct since just wanting rights & a seat at the table isn’t women erasing ‘feminine’ traits, just means they want to be seen and heard also able to chart a course for this country on issues they feel deeply passionate of which they deserve.
3. The accountability of a child, absolutely. They want to have the same rules as men have the same rules of the game of life. If they commit a crime or do something uncalled for, they deserve to be held to the same jurisdiction and set of laws men are. Kind of like a child, being accountable for breaking a vase by making them clean up the mess. Feminists don’t want infinite power to dominate men.

Feminists have these ideals in mind and deserve more credit than the smear campaigns will show you.

[MisterWack]

These qualities are from the lovely community I’m a part of, the friends I am blessed to have known so well, and the words from Feminists I know. Thank you, God Bless!

[bolverk]

For a youngster you nailed it on the head!

[MisterWack]

@bolverk Thank you, I make it clear that I go point by point and test the validity of each claim. It has gotten me into hot water quoting people word for word then responding it to it though I believe it adds clarity & a new perspective for each reader who happens upon my opinion.
It boils down to I want to stand up for those without a voice, women tend to not have a voice / say when it comes to matters so I want more men to step up and hear what they have to say. If more men saw feminism the way I see it, I believe we would be closer as a society not drifted apart.

[Shiprex]

I think this is a common theme that the functioning of society will be laid at the feet of men to keep things going and improving while those who are able to have "choice" thrust upon them can bask in the glory of "freedom"

[alice55]

It's pretty true for modern feminist, the craziest stuff they did is wanting to make 3 years old learn consent (so at 3 years old to them children are ready to consent and understand how to say no to a predator) but again with these feminist an 30 years old woman is not capable of saying no clearly when she don't want to have sex and it's the man that should ask them 4 time if they want to have sed instead of communication it themselves... So according to feminist children are able to understand consent and express it but not an adult woman...

[alice55]

Thanks for MHO :)

[Crimsyjo]

My mum (75) said probably, that sounds true lol

[Shiprex]

LOL kudos to @Crimsyjo 's mother
What about you?

[Crimsyjo]

@Shiprex I've no idea. I have no real life experience with feminists and I've only heard negative speech about them. I don't pay attention tho so I really don't have any knowledge to form an opinion on

[Shiprex]

@Crimsyjo
Ok then, I'll try ti warp the question to fit you more easily because I find a lot of your views interesting.
"As a woman, would you say the women around you are out to get as much out of their lives while using their natural assets (sexuality, femininity, appearance, perceived feebleness, implied desirability) but would deny that if they were called out for using those natural assets to get to where they are?
Like a woman who flirted with those around her, dressed provocatively, did little things to make herself appear available etc., being called out as someone who "slept her way up".

[Crimsyjo]

@Shiprex @Shiprex erm. But feminist - or " only" feminist don't do that? That's mostly just based on a womans natural attractiveness. It's just the way it is that more attractive women get treated better and get further. Whether they use that to their advantage or not that's just what happens. Maybe same with "handsome" men over "ugly" ones. So some women may lie when they say they didn't use their feminity but some really kight be innocent and no clue. I presume your idea of a bad feminist is those that say they don't want you be treated different but then take advantage of "being feminine" to advance? Hm. Is that different from a non feminist doing same thing? And can we lump "everyone" into one category? Maybe some feminist do this and others don't? Maybe some are too ugly to even be able to? Too many variables here lol

[Shiprex]

@Crimsyjo
That's the crux of the question though. Do women who DO use their sexuality to make progress for themselves but aren't actually the best choice and only got there because of their attractiveness deserve that and should they be given the benefit of the doubt when they screw up and do the feeble woman routine to get out of being held responsible. Is it right that women DON'T get held as accountable for screwing up if they get upset and claim they were overwhelmed or some other lame excuse they won't get the same treatment as a man would get in the same circumstances?

[Filthy_Immigrant]

judging by their actions can you actually disagree with that statement?

PS: they also want the attetion of a whore and the respect of a lady

[HawkPerception]

@CupcakeTheDestroyer What do you think?

[BCRanger10]

Ha!

Pretty based. Yep, that's entirely correct.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

The only people who believe that are people who never agreed that women should have rights in the first place

[HawkPerception]

So all the men and women saying they agree with this are misogynists that don't believe women should have rights?

Do you call yourself a feminist nowadays? If so, what rights do you not have that men do?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yes, everyone who believes that phrase is a misogynist. Yes, I call myself a feminist. Yes, I carry all the same rights men have and the rights that are exclusive to women are not available in my home state

[mandyfire989]

Yesh. Did you see how Nancy mace just accused a man of her constituency for assault for just asking some questions?

[itsannalee]

Isn’t that the same?
Like some men want traditional women but independent in financial?

[Twalli]

Some seem to want it this way, but I think they're misnamed misandrists

[OldBlu]

If you are talking about the internet then I agree with you.

[Dongie]

Why not Hawk? It do seem to fit. 🤓

[msc545]

hell yes

[seeyounexttuesday]

Seems accurate

[sage2021]

No I don't agree

[sage2021]

Or maybe I do agree. It's just the way it's worded that I find it confusing 🤷🏼‍♀️
