could the femenist movement exist if?

Question

We were really fighting for survival insteat of fighting to be successful? If we lived in a time where we had to hunt for our food everyday. If we lived when the threat of being eaten alive by a wild animal was a common reality. Where men and women actually depended on each other to perform certain jobs to ensure the survival of the community.

Answer 1

It would be different but yes it could. It depends upon what you consider feminism. In the such circumstances the idea would be for the sexes to be brought up to hunt and do what must be done to survive. Yes when it comes to brute strength the men have the floor so to speak.

Children would grow up and be taught the skills of hunting and survival eqully, regardless of gender. Both sexes would be taught the rudiments of hunting and gathering because exclusivity of knowledge keeps the tribe divided. A girl could be desired by young men just as much for her skill as a huntress as for her delicate stitchwork. Both sexes would know how to create weapons and often the woman would add the decorative stitches and paint.

Once a young woman marries and babies come, she hunts less and concentrates primarily on women's matters. This will be the way of things until the young ones are totally involved in learning the lessons of the next generation.

Without the women raising the children and handling domestic affairs, there would be no base. In this they are important. But without men supplying the meats and protection, it would not be possible. Ideally, there would be some overlap of duties.

Feminism is a grotesque fraud perpetrated on society by its governing elite. It was designed to weaken the American social and cultural fabric in order to introduce a friendly fascist New World Order. Its advocates are sanctimonious charlatans who have grown rich and powerful from it. They include a whole class of liars and moral cripples who work for the elite in various capacities: government, education and the media. These imposters ought to be exposed and ridiculed.

Gloria and Betty and Hugh Hefner please stand up and take a bow for the crimes you committed.

Women were taught to abandon their femininity and challenge men for the masculine role. They were told heterosexuality and family by nature is oppressive to women. Domestic violence was publicized to trample woman's tender tendrils of trust. As a result, the divorce rate doubled and the birth rate was cut in half. One third of all births are now out-of-wedlock. The ability to commit to a relationship is almost unheard of among the young. Today they “hook up” and move on. Men are no more than dogs urinating on women as if they were hydrants. But no one is at fault here, we are ALL VICTIMS. Men, women, children all. NO COMMITMENT.

We are a bonding species. Children represent our organic growth. As recently as fifty years ago, the role of wife and mother was honored. After 1960, society was subjected to the vicious campaign of social engineering designed to disparage these roles and make women seek fulfillment in career instead.

Led by the Rockefeller Foundation, this media campaign was made to look spontaneous and "modern." In fact, the goal was to decrease the birth rate and destabilize society by pitting men against women. Divide and conquer. The other reason for the feminist action was so that the bankers could CHARGE DOUBLE THE INCOME TAX on a family. With two working members there was more to steal by their dishonest tax laws. It also allowed these creatures to begin their propaganda on our children at a younger age. Aaron Russo discusses this in this short flick:

Feminism has done untold damage to civilization. There is no more fundamental yet delicate relationship in society than male and female. On it depends the family, nucleus of society. Nobody with the interests of society at heart would try to divide men and women. Yet the lie that men have exploited women has become the official orthodoxy. The lie that they cheat is part of the propaganda machine. Man loves woman. His first instinct is to nurture ("husband") and see her thrive. When a woman is happy, she is beautiful. Sure, some men are abusive, but the vast majority have supported and guided their families for millennium. This is why men were so much stronger in character in days gone by. Feminism has robbed them of their rightful position in society.

The Rockefeller's cruel regime has tricked women into forgetting that they are part of a natural cycle, and the ages of 18-25 are critical to starting a family. In the same way as the apple tree blossoms in the spring, young women need to marry and have children when nature intended. The Rockefellers want women and men to miss the opportunity to start strong families that will protect them from enslavement.

All of this is calculated to create personal confusion and sow chaos among heterosexuals. As a result, millions of American males are emasculated and divorced from their relationship to family (the world and the future.) The American woman has been hoodwinked into investing herself in a mundane career instead of the timeless love of her husband and children.

Many women have become temperamentally unfit to be wives and mothers. People who are isolated and alone, stunted and love-starved, are easy to fool and manipulate. Without the healthy influence of two loving parents, so are their children. When both parents work, the children are exposed to government propaganda and manipulation from even younger ages.

Women's oppression is a lie. Sex roles were never as rigid as feminists would have us believe. My mother had a successful business in the 1940’s as a private nurse. When my father's income increased, she was content to quit and concentrate on the children. Women were free to pursue careers if they wanted to. The difference was that their role as wife and mother was understood, and socially validated, as it should be. Yet Stay at home mothers, both Christian and Muslim, are jeered and considered patsies by their more militant sisters.

Sex is an act of possession. You cannot be possessed by many men and ever belong to one. The ability to love/trust dies. The sex act is sacred. It is the ritual enactment of the Act of Creation. The man selects and prepares the special ground and plants his seed. The woman receives and nurtures it. Ultimately, a child is the fruit of love. Sex is an uplifting experience in this loving context. Today women and men settle for so much less. Careless sharing of our flesh has almost killed this concept today. Our children and grandchildren suffer.

We were told to be "smarter, better, faster" than the men we met. This is now echoed in “girl power” as boys are being marginalized. No longer does a woman seek a man she can naturally look up to, respect and trust. They waste time on the emotionally immature boys that men have been molded into. Men want power; women want love. Heterosexual union involves the exchange of the two: female power (in the worldly sense) for male love (his power expressed as love.)Two people don't become one by fighting over the same territory.

It is almost impossible to find a man with a powerful positive vision of life with a central place for a wife in these days. Homosexuality has seriously affected the balance between men in women in numbers and created incredible social issues to further break up hetrosexuality. Men have to know what they want, provide leadership and earn trust. The man "makes the house, the woman makes the home. This complementary division of labor is natural. Women need to remember how to be a homemaker and mother. Why do you think fast foods and easy bake junk was promoted until most women forgot how to boil water?

Once the power-for-love arrangement is established, sex roles don't have to be rigid. The key is that a wife is willing to be First Mate to her Captain because he loves her, looks after her interests and is totally loyal. After that, who does what can be dictated by respective preferences, abilities and practical considerations.

While this was done to women, men were dumbed down and taught rebellion. They were drugged and mind altered through the hippy days. They were taught a man has no responsibility to a woman. And so here we are. Playboy and increasingly sexual content in the media, and the concept that families were "hindrances to freedom" were subliminally fed them in increasingly powerful doses.

Answer 2

im not sure, cause it would revert to the medieval times i guess.
before the whole witch huntin thing became popular, women were actually a very integral part of society. they were healers, teachers, and yes, hunters and fighters.
when christianity took over paganism, the role of the women were pushed out to make space for men (who were the heads of the church), and strong women were seen as witches, or posessed. so strong women were too scared to say a peep.
remember, all the original gods were female, and the female body was revered as holy, and all women as godesses, since they gave birth.
and when the new christian rule came about, the old gods were worked into the new rule, and slowly phased out. and the female gods were made 'saints', or such nonsense.
if armageddon were to happen, and the human race were made to return to the whole hunter/gatherer status, and all the old stigmas of society destroyd, then women would take back the role as the head of the village, or clan, or tribe. and some women would choose to stay home and have kids, others would be warriors or hunters.
so i guess what im getting at, is that an equal society was present long before modern religion killed it.

Answer 3

I feel that the war of the sexes is quite stupid really.

It's about togetherness,not segregation &
separation.

I went to a commencment speech delivered by
Gloria Steinem once.She appears to be a gender
darwinist(if that's actually a term)
I found her;the establishment.A rich academia
hippie more interested in preserving the
gap between the sexes as it makes for
better book sales.

I mean,I consider myself reasonably intelligent

sane and practical,but I felt overwhelmingly alienated that I have a penis by the end of her
speech.

Oh well,I'm a lover not a fighter.If that makes me
a misogynist, whatever..

Answer 4

You imply a dichotomy that actually does not exist. Feminists don't suggest that men and women, as a society, shouldn't work together (as we would have to in your scenario) we just want to be able to meet our full potential as human beings, and that is different for every individual. Would women still want to be seen as equals and that our contributions are valuable? Yes, and that is all feminism is in the first place.

Answer 5

Well, in traditional hunter gatherer cultures men and women were on pretty equal levels. Because as you said, they needed each other for survival.

Answer 6

Feminism is about changing the status quo and allowing ALL people despite sex, nationality, religion, sexual orientation etc to have equal value and opportunity.

This particular scenario you describe would create an atmosphere of cooperation where feminism would not be necessary since both sexes would be existing in a state of equality and both would be valued for their contributions to society. Unlike our present one in which women and their roles in history, literature, art, music etc. is not only devalued but virtually invisible. Using Maslow's idea of Hierarchy of needs one can see that basic survival circumvents needs to dominate and subjugate others.

Answer 7

Absolutely not. Roles would be accepted and that would be it, although it is probably true that a decent measure of equality would exist. Males would almost certainly head family units and tribes because of sheer strength, and you know the rest.

Answer 8

i'm sorry to disagreeeeeeeeeeeeee but feminism is kick back not equality for all
personally feminism would be destroy destroy and destroy again all values of middle ages patriarchs who are responsible for horrible crimes

Answer 9

...well... Just look at the Amazons... All-powerful clan of women. ;)
