Thoughts on Feminism

[Punk Hazard]

Don't be a feminist or a menimist, be an equalist.

*misogynist, I don't think people really use menimist. I do agree that it is biased that people who support men rights are just labeled as "women haters." Double standards are a real b*tch, I suppose.

Probably cuz I just made that up xD.

I'm all for females getting more rights, but most feminists are just annoying.

Just one big joke to be honest. I remember some European company was forced to employ women instead of men under the grounds of "gender equality" by femminist groups. Pretty much gender inequality turned on its head. It didn't matter that the men that applied were better qualified, what mattered was that some women wasn't succeeding and that wasn't cool!

Not going really deep in to 'feminism' but will address your post only- what about when similar concessions are made in name of "affirmative action'' programs, reservation and quota based on colours of skin or religious or other similar basis?

Not saying it's fair nor I necessarily support it. Just putting it out there.

--------------------
For me feminism is all about right to live with human dignity, similar right to property and right to education, right to vote and rights over my own body and any other rights provided to other citizens of my country by the laws of land.

People interpret feminism wrongly- both men and women. While it doesn't even translate equally for women in different countries and places in the same way.

Feminism is a collection of ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women. You won't distinguish on basis of caste, creed , race or whatever but see nothing wrong in depriving half the world population( loosely speaking) of these rights?

I think the biggest problem so many people have is when they think of feminists, they think of the radicals, the ones that have rallies and are angry and demonize men, making them look like the bad guys. It's a shame people don't seem to realize, or tend to ignore that, there are good, civil feminists who just want to be treated the same as their male counterparts.

I have no problem with it, I do think women in other countries have a lot more to deal with then here in the US. A lot of women in some countries aren't even allowed to voice their opinion and have equal rights with the males. For them having strong feminist ideas are good in my opinion.

Here in the US I think about 80% of the time women use it as an excuse for their own hang ups.

Truthfully I believe feminism shouldn't even be questioned. I don't understand why someone's political, social, and economic rights should be limited for something as petty as gender. I hate the fact that some people believe they are superior to those who identify as a female and don't even consider that woman's achievements or intelligence.
Rather than judging and limiting someone simply because of their gender society should be paying more attention to their talents.

 

[Wabbit]

Feminazis are evil.saying men are evil and crushing them and calling it equality.I dnt understand why they want to be like men when they are woman and unique.I never understood why should I respect someone or treat them special based on their gender..whatever..the laws are exploited by women and women are exploited by someone else..everything is ****ed up.

 

[Penguin]

I think it is ok for women to be able to do what men do to a certain extent, but sometimes they go over board.

If you want equal rights go for equality. In feminism the woman is no1.

Pretty much this.

I personally dont like feminism. Im fine with woman wanting the same oppurtunites. Im fine with them being equal.

I am not fine with all the many double standards that come with it. Im not fine when a woman is hired over a man, purely because she is a woman, and they need to be "diverse enough".

I am not fine when standards for the military are lowered just to accomodate a small number of woman who wish to enter combat, or special forces.

Nor do i think it is a good idea to allow a woman onto a cramped sub with tons of guys.


I simply think this.

If you are qualified for the job, it becomes who is the most qualified. Doesnt matter about gender.

If you are not qualified you should not get the job regardless of gender.


But to pretend that there are no differences between men and woman, is foolish. There are simply some things most men can do better than woman, just like there are some things most woman can do better than men.
There are exceptions, but generally it goes like that.

Lastly, I also do not support feminism because alot of the times it sets up where woman are encouraged not to be feminine(which is not a bad thing at all)(and can be encouraged to be the opposite)
(bascially the movement where it is "sexist" for a woman to do chores, and the man to do the physical labor(such as mow the yard, fix the house etc)


So I fully support equality, where people are seperate and different, but equal.(I get tired of people who try to push "everyone is the same" stuff. Everyone is not the same. We are all unique. And that should be fine.)

I treat people by the quality of their character. I try to treat all people with love kindness and dignity regardless of who they are.(though im not perfect)

If you want to think that what I think is unreasonable, and bigoted or whatever, then fine. I dont really care. But I assure you when I get a wife someday, she will be treated like the most precious person on the planet, and I will do all in my power to make her the happiest person as well.)

I'm mystified to be perfectly honest on the subject of feminism.

Economically I believe both genders should be equal. End of story.

Culturally its a different more complicated question. People, female and males alike play down female contributions, for example a house wife may get put down by females themselves for the role they play. But arguably they have a far more important role to play than the husband/partner does, the female nurtures the children and mellows human nature (distasteful traits are suppressed), IE they create a better population for tomorrow, they nurture the next work force and the leaders of tomorrow, they can't do that important work holding down a job 9 to 5. In essence they are civilization builders in their own way.

The connection a female has with children "generally" seems to be different than the male connection to children. The fact is that it will always be different, it can never be the same. Everyone looks differently on their mother & father. Is that wrong? Is that just human nature?

Note my above comments are regarding the "average family" I in no way comment on other situations that do not fit the frame work I have previously stated.

Truthfully I think females have a very important part to play in mellowing and regulating civilization as we know it. If you have a family where the mother and father work 9 to 5 and the child is in nursery or play group or something who is raising the children? Who is teaching them what they need to know? The male could do it, but can they do a good job on average? Is a female superior nurturer on average? I personally think so, being motherly is not something a Male can do well on average (I'm not saying there are not exceptions).

Ergo culturally the fact is males and females are different. Are they already equal culturally but simply different?

Are people confusing the need to be "equal" with being treated the same? I personally would not believe that many females wish to treated like males. Is it a need for equal respect to be given? I believe that is the root need regarding feminism at its most basic, anything else just clouds the issue.


All of this is simply a generalized look at things I'm not going to entertain the "exceptions" if someone specifically takes umbrage to any of my comments. They are also stated as an opinion from my own personal observations nothing more.

Regarding jobs, females can do anything a male can do; does that mean they should however is a cultural question.

I support equal rights for both sexes. And I hate sexism.

 

[The Sach]

Feminism is just feminism, it is going to exist unless and until, women are going 'to get equal rights' or are going to say that 'they don't have equal rights'.

 

[Kishi Uzumaki]

Other said lot about that's there to be said , i will say what i think , women must be treated well , given the rights that they deserve as any other human being and if they have a talent , they must given the chance to reach highest potential as any man with same talent can reach .

[BlacLord™]

It's a tricky subject, I studied it as part of my A-Level English Literature course.

Feminism at it's core should be women seeking equal rights and for the majority, that is the cause fought for. But, there are some feminists who believe that women are totally superior over men, which is rather unfair and extremist to say the least. The problem is, Radical Feminism, like other types, is seldom separated from normal feminism by society. In turn, views on feminism are often extremely multifarious, as people are thinking of it on different planes.

btw i like ur statment about change of life

I don't think one would require feminism for social, political, and economic rights as a human being. Those are an obligation on part of the government. Anything beyond that - I don't support it. I don't think women and men should be treated equally on many other fronts. If you have hard-labour for men, then it would be unjust for the physically weaker woman. If you get into a fight, then I don't think it's right or even ethical to raise your hand on a woman - that's uncultured and rude.

Call me old-fashioned, by I don't support equality on these fronts - Never!

What if it's a petite male and a tall, big boned woman?

You're an idiot, dog.
