The funny thing about feminism is that women want to be equal but dread do dirty man's jobs. EXAMPLE, why is it that I see GUYS pushing/cleaning shoping carts on the supermarket's parking lot? Or what about street garbage work, I don't see many women working there? OH YEAH silly me, women only feel powerful on corporate jobs or military.

I wonder who pays those so call "feminists" cellphone bill? is it their fathers, boyfriends, husbands?

No. And if you studied Women's Studies you would know better than to ask such an ignorant question. And you--being a woman--should be ashamed of yourself. Many of the right you have today are built on feminists of the past. Go ahead and take them for granted and you'll see where it gets you. Or better so, go live in the Sudan for a year and come back and talk to me about feminism. Silly brat. Get an education

I'm a female, and a feminist. We should be treated equal. I have been out there pushing shopping carts. Who cleans shopping carts? I pay for my own cellphone bill. I know a lot of women who don't have a male paying their bills and do just fine.

Are you always this snooty? Who pays your bills? Have you ever had to gather shopping carts or picked up other people's garbage?

You can't generalize a group of people like that. Not all feminists are the same- not all feminists are female either. The only thing all feminists have in common is their belief that men and women should be treated equally and have equal rights.

What's even funnier about feminism is that women don't want to be exploited and abused in return for having to have their bills paid by a man because they can't get a job for themselves. We'll ignore the fact that a fair number of those cheap, manipulative orgasmic feminists are men with the emotional problem that they don't believe that women should be second-class human beings. Some of these men are biased, though, because they have mothers and daughters.

If you don't see any women doing a particular job it's almost invariably because the men who police the culture of that occupation can't handle their presence. For example, in the US there are many female truck drivers but in Australia there are almost none.

By the way, those characteristics make feminists good company. They're cheap because they always pay their share and don't constantly need to have things bought for them to prop up their self esteem. Manipulative women can think for themselves. They usually only have emotional problems if they've been exploited or abused by the men in their lives. The rest I'll leave to you to figure out.

Before I get started, I just wanted to say that I SERIOUSLY doubt your claim to a post highschool education.

Your assumptions about feminists and women in general are utterly unfounded. I'm an aspiring paleontologist - if you know what that means(and I doubt you do), you'll either agree that your assumptions about women having a disparaging view of 'dirty man's jobs' are disproved by the existance of an exception, or you'll agree that there ARE exceptions. (Plenty or them! Do you have any idea how many female surgeons, cops, geologists, chemists, farmers, physicists, etc there are out there who are not at ALL worried about getting their hands in the muck? Or is your assumption only supported by a few careers that do not require a college education?)

Anyways, to answer you utterly moronic question: No. Feminsm is not a 'cheap, manipulative sect of orgasmic women with emotional problems.' (BTW - do you know what orgasmic means? It's kind of out of context here...) For one thing, there are male feminists. For another, a person claiming worthiness of equality seems to me the least likely to have emotional problems .....

I fail to see what a cell phone bill has to do with you whole point - unless you're attempting to allude to the broader point of financial independance. Being that financial independance is vitally important to many feminists - I'd say that most feminist cell phone bills are paid by the owner of the cell phone...


The funny thing about militant anti-feminists is that they don't pay attention to REALITY!! ;)

once again, generalizing nonsense.
I once had a job where I had to crawl through a carwash with a grease gun to lube the various moving parts, and my sister spent two summers in Alaska at a fish cannery.

we're both feminists. and I'm now a stay at home mom who deals with dirty dishes, dirty laundry, pee, poop and scrubbing toilets on a regualr basis. THERE's work many men won't touch. (notice I didn't say just "men" or insist "no man". see how easy it is to make a true, rather than a foolish, statement?)

and I alwalys paid my own bills until I quit working to raise my child.

Feel free to tag along with me some day while I trim hooves on 40+ sheep and goats, vaccinate them, and rope them in many cases, by myself, with no man around to watch, let alone help. Don't you dare puke while I scrape a flyblown, dead nanny out of a back pasture and haul her off to be buried. I have enough headache with my guy friends puking every time they smell something icky. Try to stay out of my way while I unload 2 tons of feed (at 50 pounds a sack that's 40 bags) every Saturday morning, again with no man around to assist me. When I hauled 15,000 pounds of round bales of hay on my flatbed, white knuckles on the wheel of a truck too small to handle the load, 4 hours one way, there was no man in sight.

As for the bills, I paid them all. Myself. So sweetcheeks, tell me again how I'm afraid to do a dirty man's job?

Thank god I live in a country where I have the RIGHT to do it if I want to, or not if I do not. Thank god for the feminists before me who suffered so weird chicks like me could have both nice acrylic nails AND property rights.

At least we can HAVE jobs and not get stigmatized for it. And by the way, my dad only pays my cell phone bill because I'm 17 and I don't have a chequing account!

feminism isnt about wanting to do any of these jobs but about having the opportunity to do them. it just turns out that in our western culture men tend to do manual labour as they are physically capable. In fact the place where women find it hardest to succeed is in higher end corporate jobs and indeed the military as they are not taken seriously by there male co-workers, have you never heard of the "glass ceiling" in business?
i cant believe im defending feminism, something i know barely anything about and would usually argue against it, i think im defending it because your an ignorant moron who cannot construct a correct image of our socio-economic culture

Men and women can achieve social equality without having to be exactly the same.

Though you are correct that women who identify themselves as feminists, yet insist on having men do everything for them, are hypocrites, the bulk of us are not. We enjoy men, and appreciate their help, but can be independent.

I have seen women janitors and garbagemen, as well as teenage girls whose job it is to clean up the grocery carts. I have seen women working on road crews.

Life isn't black and white, kiddo.
