Why are there women who hate feminists in this category?

Question

It doesn't make any sense to me. I guess it just proves that Women need to work harder among their own gender to show that striving for equality isn't a bad thing!

Answer 1

This is an excellent forum for all the women bashers to post their hateful messages towards females. Even so called women like Alexandra think that women should not be allowed feminist rights. She will argue over and over than gender is not a social construct, when in fact gender is something we learn and sex is what we are born as. It is misogynists like her and others who seek to degrade and humiliate the women who come to this forum to ask legitimate questions that pertain to women and their experiences.
Females should be allowed to empower each other rath than to be cut down and harassed by the likes of some of those hate mongers that continually post their vile questions.

Answer 2

Basically, you are relying on the old, worn-out rhetoric that uses "feminist" and "woman" interchangeably. Feminists are not interested in being equal with men, they demand superiority and special rights based on sexism.
The numbers of women claiming to be feminists are dropping at a time when more and more women are speaking out against the sexism and discrimination that makes feminism what it is. Therefore, more women are speaking out against it and feminists are becoming desperate, as can be noted in the particularly vitriolic messages posted by feminists.

Answer 3

Now, now, Tanks. I guess people do not realize the various types of feminist. Only equity feminism makes any kind of sense. Gender and difference feminism give feminism a bad name and are incoherent in their explanations of human behavior.

PS I hope I do not have to come back here and type an interminable addendum tonight.

PSS So, by your logic, red-nosed Baba Yaga, if I attack Republicans I am also attacking Democrats?

Democrats and Republicans are both POLITICIANS!!! The analogy stands as apt.

Answer 4

Striving for equality or striving for chaos? Men and women arent the same and will never be the same. I feel comfortable in my own skin, I believe in equal pay for equal work. I do not believe a woman has the right to demand to be employed in a profession that she can not meet the basic physical demands for. Sorry but unless you are a female body builder or something close to that, you have no right to put other peoples lives in jeopardy in order to soothe your own ego, because a man who isnt strong enough physically will be turned away for the very same job, so it makes no sense to allow his female counterpart to get the job even though she has no more capability then he does. Nobody objects to true equality, but people do take issue with false equality which is only equality in name alone and not ability.

Answer 5

Because womens studies, doesn't say "Feminist Only". Us anti feminist understand that life isnt fair, and we have just come to accept that small fact, and live with it. I know that sounds like we are just rolling over and playing dead..but we aren't. Yeah, you could rally and for whine about "Life ins't fair!!" or you could take it for what it is, and understand that in our inequalities, men and woman are in fact equal...

Answer 6

Feminists don t want equality, they want special treatment.

Answer 7

Yeah any woman who isn't a feminist should GET OUT of the women's studies section. They are just so-called women anyway. Who cares if we trample their rights in the fight for women's rights, we're empowered women who support women having choices yeh!!

and jon - all the feminists are equity feminists and are therefore beyond reproach.

However, if any feminist should choose to be a gender or difference feminist, then attacking them is affecting the reputation of the equity feminists AND SHOULD THEREFORE STOP BECAUSE IT IS MALE CHAUVANISM AND CRANKERY!!@!$!@

PS It appears the issues someone got getting their head banged against a bed rest in jail too hard are playing up again.. equity feminists don't appear distinguishable from gender feminists, who claim they are equity feminists. Do republicans claim they are democrats? Explain the analogy better jon, or better yet scrap it and use one that makes sense.

Answer 8

Perhaps because of all the bad things feminists have done for women.

Women are no longer free to be wives, mothers, homemakers. They are deemed somehow less if they don't have a high paying job.

Women have had equality for a very long time. The "striving for equality" rhetoric isn't just tired and worn-out, it is obsolete.

Answer 9

Striving for equality is all well and good but when you take it to this kind of extreme it becomes annoying and repetetive. No one wants hear complaining or whining. And its gone wa beyond fighting for equality, its become a race for superiority!

Answer 10

I don't hate feminists; I hate feminism.

Women are equal under the law...or supposed to be at any rate (we're actually favored believe it or not).

NOW doesn't speak for me. I don't find being a housewife and mother oppressive...in fact I find it liberating!

Feminists won't be happy until every profession has an equal number of men and women. Never mind that women generally aren't interested in plumbing or construction or being an auto mechanic, right?
