Yeah, I can detect the incense you feel.about your convictions. It's true, Many regard women as inferior to men. That they are of lesser quality and grade. When in fact, women are stronger. Might not be physically, but certainly in the verbal , memory and social interpersonal relationships.Many a men are poor spellers. Time and again, history will attest to the fact that women were not permitted to realize to their full potentlal. As they were confined to the roles of childrearing and housekeeping. If women were given half the chance that men were, I'm sure she would have made more progress. Studies were made that woman's higher scores in interpersonal areas are responsible for their reaching higer levels in the corporate worlds.
Women were found to be more aware of their emotions, show morre empathy, and act more socially responsible than men. Man was found to be the more focused, possessed and obsessed. one. But take comfort, that women have come a long way since suffrage rights or the right to vote.
And behind every successful man, stands a woman. And remember the saying, man will forgive a woman for anything but the wit to outwit him.

A woman doesn't have to become a man to be equal to a man. Feminists want to become men. They have lost their femininity. The difference between the sexes is good and should be encouraged. There are too many manly women and womanly men these days. When a man and a woman work together as equals the sum total is much greater than the two halves combined. Each has special attributes that are unique and add to the value of the whole.

Alright. Here's how I think about the topic of feminism. Honestly, I think it's ridiculous. But, then again I think male chauvinism is extremely uncool as well.
This is all because our "plumbing" is different.
Why can't we all be the same?
I mean, if you believe in extraterrestrials, as I do, you may find out that they all have the same plumbing which allows them to live in harmony together. I know, this example is a bit far out, but it makes sense.
Today, in my Humanities class, we were talking about this. Men have always seen women as magical creatures and were afraid of them ever since cavemen. I mean, we can bear children and bleed uncontrollably but still survive.
I'm not saying Feminism is wrong, but you shouldn't be so angry. Be happy you're a human being, not an animal. We treat animals pretty poorly as well.

I cannot answer for all men. I am usually the one who stirs up a lot of ca-ca, or controversy.
I have a daughter. I have a (foster) sister. I have a mother. I have nieces. I want them to be treated with fairness, respect, dignity and with equal rights... well, I think my point need not get into unnecessary minutia.
There ARE men that are intimidated by intelligent women. There are men that are intimidated by assertive women. There are men that only feel manly when they can bully a smaller woman around and order them around... to me, that's the height of cowardice. Those men are nothing more than mental eunuchs (who knows if only "mental"). A man doesn't have to prove anything to anyone and should feel secure enough with his testicular tools without having to resort to unfair tactics like keeping the playing field equal and fair amongst the sexes.
I've never felt threatened by women. I was taught by women teachers and I've had a high regard for competent teachers (that was in the past... today's teachers, however, ain't educators... due to lowered standards... but THAT is a different topic altogether) regardless of their gender! Quite frankly, I refuse to go to a male doctor... especially when he's trying to put on a rubber glove.... (it better be a woman).
Hey, as I've always said, a REAL man is not afraid to be strong enough to be gentle, caring, thoughtful and nurturing. Men who are intimidated by strong women are just not REAL men at all.
Ladies, it is not a contest. I do not have to prove that I am stronger or smarter to my ladyfriend; all I have to do is love her and treat her with respect, dignity, care, consideration.... etc.

Don't be upset - it stems from centuries of prejudice towards the Goddess energy. Actually turn this around and look at it in another way. Prejudice, ignorance and suspicion all are fear based. Ask yourself what do these people really fear?
People who deliberately decide to learn and grow change the world by changing themselves, not trying to change others.

It has taken away man's purpose on this planet. We don't need them, for anything. Men thought they were so smart thinking they figured out what their purpose is. Then we showed them that we can provide and protect ourselves. Now they think they can just muscle us down, and when we don't submit to a boot in our face we have an attitude.

No, you are wrong. Men and women are not equal, but should dwell in equity. Any one who thinks men and women are identical has no knowledge of science.

I don't think that it is the feminist that people hate but the attitude that accompanies it.
