Who joins the National Organization for Women these days, do you agree with them?

Answer 1

I don't think much of them. Of course, any NOW supporter who read that would generalize me as "one of them" because I'm male. However, whether they like it or not, they are extremists for there cause. That isn't so much a problem when it comes to being passionate about your cause. That is necessary in order to affect change. Hell, I agree that the workplace could use more equality.

However, where me and NOW disagree is when they male bash and take unreasonable positions on certain issues. "Male bashing" is by no means a way to get your point across. By doing this, they step down to the same level as male chauvinists out there. All they accomplish is to lose credibility. To suggest that men are the cause of world problems and/or unnecessary is absolutely ridiculous. I mean its so easy to point the finger at male leaders and say that its all their fault when 99% of leaders throughout history have been male. There isn't sufficient evidence that females in power would have avoided any of histories events. Conflict and politcal BS happen no matter what gender is in power. These things are human nature, not male nature. IF you think otherwise, lets take a look at the female adolescent culture and see if there is fairness and compassion??? This is after all, where all future female leaders will come from.

Additionally, they take the stance that a pregnant woman has sole decision rights over the fate of a child. I absolutely agree that it is her body and nobody should force her to have the baby or not. However, isn't it a bit hypocritical for NOW to acknowledge the man's role in conceiving the baby when it comes to child support, but dismiss it when it comes to the choice of keeping the baby? That is an absolutely absurd point of view that is aimed specifically at having your cake and eating it to. If a man is responsible for conceiving a child, he too should have a say so in whether it comes into this world. Come on people, lets foster responsible parenting and communication between couples, not draw a line in the sand and say this is my decision and that's yours.

To me, NOW perpetuates the causes they fight against.

Answer 2

The National Organization for Women lost ALL credibility during the Clinton Administration. The silence was deafening! They are nothing more than an arm of the Democratic Party and no woman who really believes in women's rights would ally themselves with them. Read Tammy Bruce. She used to head the L.A. chapter and she tells it like it is.

Answer 3

Before you discount any organization because of what a friend or someone else has said, you should check it out for yourself. Keep an open mind... There are people in this country that believe that women are inferior to men and attempt to make them second class citizens... attempting to take away their access to birth control and paying then less than males. Investigate for yourselves.
