why do "feminists" read gender differences, masculinity vs feminity as weakness?

Answer 1

they all have issues from past events in their life and theyre bitter over something that happened to them. They just hate men since its not like feminists do anything else in america. Its not like women dont already have the same rights as men. plus theyre all ugly lesbians so their view of healthy male female relationships is skewed

Answer 2

Not sure exactly what you mean here, but there are feminsts that think that gender and gender roles are purely social constructs (which is BS. Look up David Reimer, born a boy but raised as a girl because of an "accident". He ended up going back to being a guy and eventually killed himself.)

I guess they think equality means "the same" , but then they also lobby for "women's space" which I have no problem with at all, but doesn't that imply that men and women are inherently a little different?

Answer 3

Because professional, peer-reviewed research has consistently demonstrated that a more moderate, gender-neutral (andrognyous) mind with a blend of positive masculine and feminine traits is far more predictive of well-being than are the extremes of "masculinity" and "femininity".

While the brains of men and women are wired differently, as we grow older we learn both positive "masculine" (assertiveness) and "feminine" (caring) traits. People who take the best of both worlds and meet in the middle have higher well-being than those who try to be super-masculine or super-feminine.

Answer 4

First, you seem to assume that all feminists believe exactly the same things as all other feminists.

Whoever told you that either didn't know what they were talking about, or were lying.

Whether there ARE innate differences between the sexes is controversial among feminists, but I have never known any feminist who "read" them as weakness.

Answer 5

I don't view gender differences as weaknesses, quite the opposite. That's one opinion of one feminist. Other stereotypes you'd like to promote about "feminists"?
PS It's spelled "femininity"

Answer 6

I don't, and I don't think most feminists do either. There are several different "kinds" of feminism, "Gender Feminism" criticizes stereotypical gender roles, and seeks to eliminate them all-together, but not all feminists adhere to this.

Answer 7

Feminism is becoming dated, almost "camp." People have come to understand that despite unisex daycare and parenting, there are real deeply embedded differences between males and females in the ways they think and act. Little boys don't want to sit around and chat, and little girls don't want to throw rocks at each other. The only people who still think that gender differences are weaknesses are people who are afraid of their own sexuality. Vive la difference.

Answer 8

I'm going to quote Newton for this one: "For every action, there is an EQUAL (my emphasis) and opposite reaction." Men and women are different. But that doesn't mean that one is better or more powerful than the other.

Answer 9

Because women and men used to be forced into different roles (still are in some countries), and women usually had the inferior role. So now, they're keen to any expectation to be a certain way because of one's sex. This, like anything else, can be taken too far.

Answer 10

They equate masculinity with superiority (which in itself makes feminists the biggest misogynists) so they have to claim that gender is a social construct to bring men down.

I think the whole modern feminist movement is based on the "social construct" MYTH.

Answer 11

Why do you say feminists? If a man is sensitive.....cries, for example, isn't he seen as being weak?
