Feminism? Why do you want to be like a man?

Question

Can we not celebrate our femininity? Why do we have to fight to be like men? Isn't that stupid?? Be happy with how you are you lesbian, men-hating cult.

Answer 1

The second wave of feminism that started in the late 60's/early 70's that continues today was started by a group of man-hating lesbians. So to say that there is a difference between lesbianism and feminism is the same as saying there's a difference between the red plague and the green plague. They're both plagues, so a difference that makes no difference IS no difference. If you look at the agenda of the second wave of feminism, it is not about equality...it is about domination. Just what you would expect from man-hating lesbians.

Does this mean everyone who calls themself a feminist fits into this category? No...certainly not. But it DOES mean that ultimately they support the lesbian-feminist agenda anyway. You're on one side or the other, ladies...make your choice.

Women who eschew the feminists and their agenda are happier, healthier and more well-adjusted than their brainwashed counterparts.

Answer 2

But feminism IS about celebrating our femininity. It's about fighting for our femininity to be equally regarded and valid as masculinity.

Feminisn has come a long way from it's bra burning days. Those were it's origins (or a part of it's history), yes, because it was in it's infancy for modern women. Now it has a much more realistic set of aims which benefit both men and women.

We don't hate men either, we are trying to change societies views of women and their role in society, and that includes many womens veiws about our role and influence in society. AS can be seen here with some negative comments from women.

It's not about taking away maternal or feminine traits and becoming a mono gender socierty where both men and women think the same. We are different, but different does not mean inferior or any less valued than any other human being.

Lets celebrate being a woman, I for one do not want to be like a man, as that takes away my identity.

Your thoughts on Feminism are pretty radical because woman do not fight to be like men only to be equal to all other woman and men. Feminist are not lesbians or man hating...Please do your home work you sound confused...if u knew the history of the woman's rights movements then i feel u might think differently...

Answer 4

Lordy, feminism is not about being like a man. It's about gaining respect and equality to exercise your own choice as a person, unencumbered by biased judgments about gender. CEO in the boardroom or homemaker within your family, the decision should be yours according to aptitude and interests. Oh, and equality of pay for competently executing the same responsibilities as males is not an outrageous expectation.

Answer 5

You need to educate yourself about some basic notions. Feminism is not lesbianism, although some lesbians are feminists. Also, it is not about being like a man, but having equal rights and equal opportunities like men. I am sure you are enjoying some rights (vote, education, work...) that nobody else but feminists fight out for you. And it is not men-hating cult. I am a feminist and i love my husband as most of my colleagues feminists (being they men or women) do.

Answer 6

i really am not sure why u are angry. Feminism in its simplest term is defined as socio-economic and political equailty between both genders. The fact that you are even privileged enough to be able to write ur name and type using a computer and be educated is a thanks to Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony and our foremothers who fought for womens rights. If you think that femininity is about celebrating, what are we celebrating actually? Do we want to celebrate women staying home 24/7 and being a homemaker without a penny in her name? Do we want to celebrate women's illitracy? becasue this education we have is a result of some feminist breaking the patriarchical barrior to knowledge for all women. Do we want to celebrate women being mere vessals for procreation? Do we want to celebrate women being the property of her husband? Do we want to celebrate women having a choice of only marriage of spinsterhood?

If feminism was not in action then we would be celebrating all of the above!

Answer 7

I think your stereotype of feminists is wrong, to start with. I'm a feminist, but I'm probably as girlie as you can get. I like being pretty, i like shopping, i like flowers and cute animals and hot men...

But all that doesn't stop me from believing that women are as good as any man, and should be treated equally and given equal rights. I don't want to be LIKE a man, but I don't see any reason as to why women would want to convince ourselves that we are less intelligent/capable/hardworking than any man. We are fighting to have the same opporunities as men because we deserve it. Feminism means women having equal freedom to choose whatever they want to do. Be it a stay at home mom, or CEO, or president, or lumberjack, or soldier.... without dscrimination or the ugly stereotype of us being "weak" or "emotional" or "less capable than men."

Answer 8

Women don't want to be like men , and it's great being female. but why do we have to accept unequal pay or other restrictions because we are female?With our economy as it is, women also have to work and help finance home and family.For a woman to stay home and raise children puts an enormous burden on the male to provide for the family , and to spend all his time doing so means less time with his family, better to share all the responsibilities between male and female.In all aspects of living, why would you assume we don't want to embrace our femininity?

Answer 9

I have always looked at feminism as a means of downplaying the typical setting and position of females in our society. I believe that being born should be enough to make you a feminist. However, I do find it disturbing when there are bulls*it formalities like sensitivity training in the workplace for the people who may have been offended by the way males hold themselves (not in a literal grabbing oneself fashion) or conduct themselves in the workplace. Bottom line these types of women don't want to be treated like equals, they want to be paid the same wages men get for doing the same things. They aren't at all trying to push for 'equality' as it is called they want to be treated like dainty little stereotypical women-folk and not be paid less for it. I agree that when you are doing the same job, you should be paid the same no matter what, but stop pretending it's about equal treatment! As for women that try to 'liberate' themselves by going all out European lumberjack on us, that is very very disgusting to me.... I can respect anyone for who they are regardless of appearance if they are respectable. But I still find it pretty disturbing. In that same respect, women who go out take care of themselves hygienically, and financially who insist on being treated the same and carry out the same tasks that men do regardless of the stereotype or the odd looks they may or may not get for it have my complete respect. Even though I do NOT find the whole 'liberated women' look remotely attractive, I consider it honorable that they state their purpose and carry out their agendas without back tracking or falling back on the half-assed feminism where they only apply it where it keeps them from having to face any of the downsides of equality. If they don't look like grizzly-bear hybrids and they go all out with whole feminism/equality thing they have my respect AND my attention....
