It's about understanding that women are not objets d'art. It's about understanding that women are not baby factories and sperm repositories. It's about understanding that women have free agency and expect the same consideration and respect as men demand. Feminism is about understanding, acceptance, and complete equality. <br /> <br />To claim otherwise is to defile feminism, not to define it.<br /><br />Mica<br /><a href="http://www.truealaskancharters.com/_startup.php" rel="nofollow">Visit my site Ketchikan Fishing Halibut</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118707550077647899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-34308969915018403422015-03-13T04:42:08.946-07:002015-03-13T04:42:08.946-07:00So to summarize:

Most folks here will say that both genders were restricted and discriminated into gender roles, but these were necessary in a premodern world. However today we do not need to live like then, feminism has already freed women from their gender constraints, but men are still living according to the same past norms.<br /><br />Few people actually believe men and women are exactly alike. It's that men and women should be treated the same legally and morally, recognizing that most differences are not that great on an individual level (and certainly so with modern technology rendering much of the physical strength difference irrelevant, for example), and no one should be forced into anything they don't want because of their gender.Noorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460789795015496563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-28161430864637407892015-03-13T04:19:22.093-07:002015-03-13T04:19:22.093-07:00To Noor,

You might say feminists promote equality, but they are always doing so operating upon the assumption that women were/are oppressed by men.<br /><br />(That's why I do consider most equity feminists to be in fact feminists, because they do believe women were once historically oppressed by men, just not anymore.)Noorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460789795015496563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-46517505895257351722015-03-13T01:43:24.895-07:002015-03-13T01:43:24.895-07:00To Noor,

Whatever some may say, "feminism" as it is generally understood stands for "equality" of the sexes.<br /><br />Ofcourse, I'm not in favor of such mythic equality (which makes me a real anti-feminist), I'm just pointing out the mis-use of the term.Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739506304036198805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-75599729622378557672015-03-11T22:51:26.899-07:002015-03-11T22:51:26.899-07:00If that were the case, the overwhelming majority o...If that were the case, the overwhelming majority of feminists would be anti-feminists.

..."I do have something against feminism"<br /><br />Reading your points, it seems you really have nothing against feminism per se, so much as some of its practitioners.<br /><br />A REAL anti-feminist would be against the intellectual arguments of feminism, namely men & women are "equal".Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739506304036198805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-47519833493055734462015-02-10T12:41:46.212-08:002015-02-10T12:41:46.212-08:00I was speechless when I saw that Time had been for...I was speechless when I saw that Time had been forced to print an apology. Surely it ought to at least have made Feminists wonder what the word ' Feminism ' has come to mean for people to have voted for it in such droves. It should have told them that something in their approach isn't appealing to a great many people.<br /><br />The incident of The Shirt still makes my blood boil. Firstly, the shirt wasn't showing anything violent or hate based. Surely the fact that this guy had lead a team that had achieved the most mind blowing scientific feat, could at least this once have been allowed to wear this seriously funky garment. Without these killjoys stamping on him. Secondly the woman's state of undress is hardly pornographic. She looks more like a Betty Page style pin up. <br /><br />As for those quotes about sex being rape....Arrrrggghh !

Something being sexist (It Just Is!) and DEFINITELY being part of a "culture" that ostracises women, preventing them from achieving in science..<br /><br />Another common confusion is talking about things that do indeed occur in some Islamic and Afro-Carribean cultures, and pretending that they occur among white British scientists! Ridiculous.<br /><br />But what I now think is feminism's Number 1 big lie is this: the nonsense about inequality being when scientists aren't 50/50 male and female. Very similar to the gender pay gap lie:<br /><br />It's heavily implied that any imbalance is because of "discrimination", but of course there's no strong evidence for this, so they imply it rather than say it out loud.<br /><br />If they were saying equal opportunities then we'd all be on board. But there's a god argument that this is in place already, and that women make different career choices from men.<br /><br />So what feminists seem to be fighting for (sometimes openly, sometimes not) is - as said - 50% of politicians & scientists... But how are we to achieve this if women make different career choices? Well feminists say either <br /><br />a) women should be encouraged to make different choices (mainly by incentives for women only to do science) or<br />b) that there must be hidden discrimination, and that the only way to battle this is by positive discrimination in recruitment<br /><br />So, based on no evidence, feminists end up lobbying for discrimination in favour of women - which of course means AGAINST MEN. It's genius, and also disgustingly unfair & dishonest.Mugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080751523012610208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-76327860406249690712014-11-21T00:12:13.800-08:002014-11-21T00:12:13.800-08:00Where can I get that shirt?

You were my gateway drug into all this and I want to personally thank you for ripping the wool from my eyes. <br /><br />I have an off topic question, if you don't mind. Can you tell me (or link me if you have discussed this elsewhere) your thoughts about the "Factual Feminist, Christina Hoff Sommers? <br /><br />Despite most of her recent internet content being counter to the hysterics that feminists are now known for, she still holds that feminism, properly directed, can be a force for good. Like you, her points are cogent, well reasoned, and well researched. I would love to hear your thoughts, if any, about Mrs Sommers. <br /><br />Thank you again<br /><br />Anonymous Cis-ShitlordAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010088709355590479noreply@blogger.com
