would you say feminism has been completely accepted in society now?

Question

oh, i should say in GReat Britain

Answer 1

Of course not, it’s an illusion and probably always will be. Women aren’t prepared to fight hard enough for it. You have too many women prepared to sit back and let other women fight the cause for them, then step forward and reap the benefits. Germaine Greer a fine example. You female mugs made her quite wealthy, thank you very much.

Wasn’t Feminism about Equality back in the 60’s?
(Before being hijacked by under-educated females demanding top class employment)
And being accepted as an equal in the (then) predominantly male society?
Then as in now females need to compete in the mainly male dominated places of employment if they want to be taken seriously.
And I don’t mean the glamorous jobs, movies, television, radio, magazines, etc. I mean real jobs where you get up at 5 o’clock in the morning and are on the road at 6 o’clock. Do a full days work and get to bed gone midnight, 6 days a week.

How many female electricians, plumbers, bricklayers, painters are there?
I’ve worked on building sites in the South of England for many years and have only seen 4 females working on sites (NOT including office staff). And these 4 women are NOT butch (One of them was photographed by The Sun newspaper as she was very glamorous)

I believe a lot of women were (and still are) misled into thinking the feminist movement would give them a glamorous career on the board of directors in their own company. Er.. yeah. Hello wake up and smell the pig farm. Go to school, College, University and get an education first.

And to those females who complain that their ways to better employment are blocked by the males.
I know many women who are very successful and earn very high salaries. Due to the fact they had the brains for the job in the first place.
There are many women post workers (mail delivery). Why are there so few female bus drivers.
How many women are prepared to work in the sewers? Work as refuse collectors?
I get this from my female friends ‘But I have children to look after’.
Surely that was one of reasons for the feminist movement, to give females the choice. NOT to have children and have a career.

I don’t know where you live but if you visit seaside resorts in East Sussex you’ll see a lot of females with beer guts who act and dress like slobs. They fart out loud, fight, swear, urinate & vomit at the roadside, and still think they’re attractive to men.
Is this your modern woman?
Have a nice day.

P.S.
What's page 3 got to do with it?

Answer 2

Hear hear Andr!
A comment by Germaine Greer (I think): Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with no hair and a beer belly and still think they're fantastic.

I don't think feminism is accepted in the UK. If you say you're a feminist people expect you to be a dungaree-wearing dyke (apologies for the discriminatory language - just making a point).
There are also those feminists that believe that everything should revolve around women's needs.

I like to think that feminism is about being equal - I might not want to do a "man's" job, but I'd like the opportunity to try. I also don't want to do said "man's" job if it has to be adapted to make it easier.
The biggest problem faced by women in general is that they want the same rights without the responsibilities. One example of that is Maternity leave. As a woman without children I feel it's grossly unfair the way that pregnant women get the same opportunities as me when they've been away far longer than I have. If I took extended leave or a 9-month career break, I'd be penalised, but mothers can't be as it's seen as discriminatory. If I feel like that I can't imagine how annoyed blokes must feel.

I think it's about time that we stopped calling for feminism and started calling for humanism: Fairness in all aspects of public and private life regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. (Did I miss anyone ;o) )

Answer 3

for me, the continued existence of the page 3 girls says that no, feminism isn't completely accepted in great britain.

having said that, i think a lot of men from the generations that grew up in the 70s onwards are far more accepting of the idea of women as equal than older generations.

i lived in england for 2 years and then i came here, to italy, where i've lived for about 18 months. for those of you who think that feminism is a struggle in the US or the UK, come over here and see what a struggle for equal rights really is. it's incredible and a lot of the time i'm really disgusted by what men get away with and what women put up with. it's a great country to live in but feminism? proprio non esiste (which means it really doesn't exist)

Answer 4

If it means the right to own property, live their own lives and be seen as an independent, complete entity then I would have to say yes for the case of the UK - although in some careers there is still a huge pay gap. Generally, women have proved that they can equip themselves as well as most men in careers. They have yet to conquer careers such as car maintennance and plumbing - it will come slowly.

However, feminism means much more than that. To me, feminism has been corrupted by women taking on the worst trappings of maleness - children as fashion accessories, power suits, egocentricness, selfishness, greed, coldness. To compete on the same playing field, many women have had to play hardball - this has had consequences for a generation of women
and their children.

If that is feminism (plus an incredibly female-orientated media, televison shows and society) then it alienates most men. This is what I see feminism as. All the positive things such as empowerment and liberation are humanism, and both sexes should be entitled to the same rights re. sexual harassment and maternity/paternity leave.

So to conclude, I believe that feminism has gained grudging acceptance, but the worst aspects have alienated men in the UK - who wonder how to define themselves, especially given the likes of current role-models such as Gavin Henson and David Beckham (who would not be considered to be real men twenty years ago!)

Has masculinism been completely destroyed in society now?

Answer 5

Feminism has changed radically since its early days. Women often have more rights than men today! Thus, the new arrogant, militant feminist movement is not being accepted, and I fully agree. It's very negative and damning to society and families.

Answer 6

women getting into the artwork stress became an fairly great contribution in the direction of usa growing to be a superpower. women working will develop the GDP(Gross spouse and toddlers Product), which will develop our high quality of existence... some would argue that we've a extra perfect high quality of existence on the price of the ambience, yet the two way.... i'm speaking from a basically Economics standpoints. even however, women working did no longer something for the final spouse and toddlers, different than require women to would desire to artwork. the explanation being that each female in each spouse and toddlers working would not extra perfect that distinctive spouse and toddlers, different than for having a extra perfect high quality of existence for the completed u . s . a .(a similar thought as every person making a million money might make funds ineffective and could no longer be comparable to making a million money in our modern financial gadget------Wealth is relative). in certainty, the government might particularly like it if every person began working 50 hours each week. It will develop the GDP, that's the place the government gets their earnings(in fhe variety of taxes). If the spouse and toddlers went from adult adult males working 40 hours, to adult adult males working 20 hours each week, and the female working 20 hours each week, our u . s . a . could be a million/2 of what it particularly is.

Answer 7

i suppose it depends what you mean by feminism. If you mean that women are equal to men and should have equal pay, careers and house work then the answer is no. Women still get less pay, less pension because they are off because of child birth. There are less women on company boards and end up doing the majority of the house work.

Feminism will only be accepted when MEN realise that feminism can only work if they take their share of work and responsibility. At the moment they pay lip service because its politically correct to.

Answer 8

100% no. It's hard for people to fathom that feminism is not this picture they have of wearing birkenstocks and lesbianism. People tend to think that because women are in the work force, that everything is fine and dandy now. In the meantime, women are being beaten, degraded, and raped, not represented well enough in the U.S. government (at least you had Margaret Thatcher), not represented in Fortune 500 companies, but hey, we're doing just fine.

Answer 9

In some form. It's normally the older generations that dont accept it. But women have come a long way since the suffragettes. But we still got some way to go if we are going to be on a level par with men. Lets keep fighting the good fight hey girls.

Answer 10

i think it depends on the society and the country. in countries like, say, Bulgaria - not completely (no bad feelings, i come from there). but it also depends on what exactly definiton of feminism you accept - equal rights in general or the radical form of feminism from the 80-ties. but one way or the other it is rather unaccepted yet. just that the milder form is understood by most people while the most radical one - by few.
