What, if any, hypocrisies do you notice in modern women/feminism?

Question

for the record, this is for a research paper assignment, please don't misunderstand me to be a "troll"

I'm actually hoping for the female/feminist perspective, not interested in any "feminazi" bash fests, intelligent replies would be much appreciated

In my personal opinion, some things might include~ refusal of most self-proclaimed feminists to support masculism, reverse sexism, women who see themselves as inferior and therefore support patriarchy by feeling the need to become men in order to "make it in a man's world", benevolent sexism, failure to fight for negative rights (eg equal prison sentences, draft inclusion, etc)

Answer 1

They're discriminating against men
Kind of hating on them
when that's what they're against
men putting down women

Answer 2

I find it interesting that some of the people that tout feminism the most are the one's that are the most dependent on a relationship with a man.
I have a friend who was a "women's studies" major in the 70s.
She has always spoken very negatively about marriage or anytype of hetero committed relationship. Now that she is schedualed for gynocological surgery she is complaining because "they would have told me that if I had a partner", or "If I had a partner he would have been demanding to know this, and they would have to tell me".
My sister and I have both been through very similar surgeries (neither of us consider ourselves feminists) and did it without a partner (I am never married she is divorced) and got the answers that we needed very easlily from the doctors.
I beleive that my friend (and there are many other stories to illustrate it) talks feminism because of a laking that she feels in herself rather than just going out and doing what needs to be done. When I met her a number of years ago she didn't know how to pump her own gas (I had been doing it for years), the men in her life had always done it. She would always talk about how atheletic she had been (played on a mixed softball team), I wasn't atheletic I just did what I wanted to do - go canoeing OK and yes as a Girl Scout I learned to carry the canoe solo.
I feel the biggest hypocrisy about feminism is that difference between complaining about how you are not equal versus taking care of yourself and through those actions being equal.

Answer 3

I am finding that many of the feminists on here believe you must be a liberal or otherwise you cannot be a feminist. Many feminist promote the movement even though they may be Libertarian or even Conservative. It seems that liberals like to spout about being open minded and multicultural, but when it comes to a disagreement to their philosophy on life, they become enraged and cannot accept a different viewpoint.

Answer 4

The insistence that "women's work" simply doesn't exist. What I mean is that, childcare and housework still have to be done. And, they are almost exclusively still done by women. But, instead of dealing with this reality, the efforts have been in convincing men to do more of this supposedly pointless, useless work. INSTEAD, they could work on advancing the respect for and economic status of the world's (mainly female) caregivers - which would *truly* be working on behalf of the world's women.

Answer 5

1. Reverse sexism.
2. "I'm not a feminist, but . . . "
3. Women who claim to be feminists and insist that women deserve special treatment at the same time.

Answer 6

that women want equality but don't want to pick up a m16 n march off to combat in iraq. I posted the casualties rate in Iraq citing women take less than 3% of fatalities on memorial day n women just brush it off as nothing. why don't they shed some blood for god n country instead.
