How many women do you think suffer from?

Question

"if you can't beat them, join them?" I would be the first to speak up against any inequality against men. Unfortunately, reversed sexism exists also, and this is as unaccptable and needs to be dealt with accordingly. This is not what I'm asking. I'm wondeirng about women who promote gender inequality and believe men should be granted more rights because they are men. What's the psychology behind that?

Answer 1

The psychology is years and years of oppression.

Answer 2

I have no idea about the psychology behind why women promote inequality between the sexes. I have run across this quite a bit here in Colorado which is a very conservative state. I used to coach and was told by a few women that they didn't think that women should be coaching. They said this not because I wasn't a good coach because my teams always had a winning record. I really do not know why they would think this. Some women believe that their man is the head of their household and should be the bread winners. I really can not put my finger on why women would sabotage each other in the ways that they do. I will be interested in looking at others responses to your question.

Answer 3

I'm sorry, you can't beat a dead horse by joining them. No matter how expressive a Woman is, she will continue to beat the dead horse. Promoting gender inequality is no different than restricting Rights and Freedom. To deny equality is to deny your own Country who prides themselves as the Land of the Free.

I have no remorse against Men who cannot stand on their own two feet and use it to walk themselves up to fight for their own fairness, their own equality, and their own freedom as well. The People who pass the Laws are of mixed gender. So, if some Men want to make gripes as to how they were treated unfairly in the eyes of the Law or in a Courthouse? Then, they should be taking their gripes out on the ones that passed the Law.

Submitting a Resolution to be entered into Law is a two way street. It does not discriminate against any Gender. So if a Man wants more rights? Then do like all the other Parties have done...LOBBY FOR IT.

The psychology behind that is, "let someone else do it, and I'll ride their coat tail." In the meantime, I'll just *****, complain and blow hot air out the steam pipe.

Answer 4

I think a woman can do whatever a man can in most cases. However, I feel strongly that there are some situations a woman should not be allowed to do.

There was an actual case I read in the paper about 4 years ago involving a woman who wanted to be a firefighter but could not pass a test in which she had to climb a ladder with a 200lb. dummy on her back.

She fought the city for it and won and they had to change the weight for her. Anyway, what happened was when a fire did happen and a heavier lady needed assistance getting out from her burning apartment window, that lady fire fighter could not do it. The lady had to be carried out by a man and was burned more severely because the lady fire fighter thought she could handle it.

In those situations, yeah, I'll be the first to say it, women we don't belong in jobs that we can not do in the first place. Plain and simple if it were a man who couldn't do it, guess what, he wouldn't be on the squad either.

Nothing should have to be made easier for anyone. You can either do it or you can't. This goes for all aspects of life and both genders. That's my thought about it but I loved the question.


To super ruper, yeah, men have done a lot in history but so have women!! We just didn't get any credit because of men like you. Take a women studies class and you'll be surprised at all the amazing things women too have contributed to society and the growth of nations, etc. etc.

Wait, sorry thought you were dude! But you still need to give girls more credit!!! : )

Answer 5

Super ruper had a point... but there are plenty of women who have contributed over the years. How many households are out there that the woman is actually wearing the pants in the marriage? I'd say that the wives of historical figures had a pretty good hand in the making of history.

Also, there are many things that women have achieved for which men took the credit. There is a huge list of Nobel prize winners whose work and research were actually first completed by the women, while their names magically ended up endorsing the result and taking the glory.

Sure, women have been downtrodden and deprived and treated as second class citizens to some extent over the years, but they have also been treated with respect and care. Just because women are now transitioning to more prominent places in our new economy doesn't mean that women were always humble house slaves. Women were the center of their home, often working outside of the home and putting in more hours then the men for centuries. I think the advent of feminism was an overreaction to the restrictive morals of the 40's and 50's, making a woman's career the a focal point and lessening the importance of her role as the center of the family. While it is good to have an easier path to a variety of careers now, it does make me sad that the word housewife has become an almost dirty word, and that women are now told that they should be a dominant career women in order to be happy.

Answer 6

O.k. I agree with Super Ruper's answer to an extent..but imagine, what would this wonderful world be like if women HAD been allowed to contribute? I'm not overlooking men's contributions, but am saddened by the fact that in the past (and in some cases still today) women have not been allowed an opportunity to "shine", as well. What does not exist is something many cannot "see", but what might have been, and what could be...those are thoughts that keep me pursuing my idealistic dream of equality. I "see." And I don't thank men for having this vision: I thank God that he gave me the strength and intelligence enough to have it. And I thank women (those who began the suffrage movement, and those who continue it in thought and practice) for paving the way to allow these visions to become a reality.

Answer 7

I stand alone and don't fit in anywhere. If there's hatred from either side, I just don't want a bar of it.
But if Feminists are fighting for fairness in a certain situation, I am on their side.
If Masculinists are fighting for fairness, then I am with them as well.
No-one, male or female has the right to have more rights than the other.

Answer 8

I dunno. It's like all these married Republican male politicians lobbying against gays while sleeping with men on the side. In Tony Kushner's _Angels in America_, the doctor of the quasi-historical character of Roy Cohn tells Cohn that he has AIDS, and that this diagnosis (in the early '80s) obviously indicates he's gay. Cohn says ...

"Roy: AIDS. Your problem, Henry [his doctor], is that you are hung up on words, on labels, that you believe they mean what they seem to mean. AIDS. Homosexual. Gay. Lesbian. You think these are names that tell you who someone sleeps with, but they don't tell you that.
Henry: No?
Roy: No. Like all labels they tell you one thing and one thing only: where does an individual so identified fit in the food chain, in the pecking order? Not ideology, or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Not who I ***** or who f.ucks me, but who will pick up the phone when I call, who owes me favors. This is what a label refers to. Now to someone who does not understand this, homosexual is what I am because I have sex with men. But really this is wrong. Homosexuals are not men who sleep with other men. Homosexuals are men who in fifteen years of trying cannot get a pissant antidiscrimination bill through City Council. Homosexuals are men who know nobody and who nobody knows. Who have zero clout. Does this sound like me, Henry? ...

Roy Cohn is a heterosexual man, Henry, who f.ucks around with guys" (_Angels in America_, 51-2).

There's perhaps also something in the idea that the women who are currently in "high," powerful positions, who have "made it" far, even while hate and inequality and oppression run rampant around them, nonetheless have an interest in keeping things the way they are. According to the meritocracy myth which claims that people receive benefits in proportion to how "hard" they work and how smart they are, women who are currently in power can consider themselves "just coincidentally some of the smart women, since most of those other inferior women just aren't that smart or didn't work hard enough or didn't do this or that or yada yada." They feel like they have no responsibility to anyone else as citizens or members of a community and pretend that social systems involving *groups* - not just individuals - don't exist. But they do.

It's hard to work against the status quo as a member of a historically oppressed group when the status quo has been seemingly "good" to you.

We have the "opportunity" to contribute "because of" men? Er, no. The opportunity to contribute should be a basic right in a society such as ours. This is like saying "men *allowed* us to vote." Absurd. WE SHOULD HAVE HAD THESE RIGHTS ALL ALONG. It was wrong that we didn't - and that it hardly bothered men that we didn't.

Answer 9

Aren't men granted more rights everyday by the majority of women? Who does the dishes, laundry, cooking , house cleaning, the majority of child rearing in your home? If you answer both of you then believe me your in the select few category.

Answer 10

that's a stable question.. i'm not quite confident of the respond. In a manner, i will form of see your profs way of questioning because of the fact in case you think of approximately it... like females in the different united states of america ought to go through via rape, they could bear little ones that those soldier adult men are actually not likely to shield, they could face degradation, yet in addition on the turn facet, the ladies interior the states that are married or courting those male squaddies are here looking after the youngsters via themselves, suffering loneliness with out their mate here, then there are a gaggle of single baby bearing elderly females with out friends because of the fact such assorted single baby bearing age adult men are interior the conflict or have already been killed as a effect of the conflict. Then whilst the squaddies come back assorted them are injured, have submit worrying syndrome and different subject concerns and the ladies in lots of circumstances finally end up looking after them weither it is the mum, sister, spouse or woman chum that's considered one of those suffering and a burden for some. yet, the squaddies them selves are people who're putting their lives on the line, they are dealing with the prospect, they are coping with the bombs, the weapons, noxious gases, the warmth they have the main rigidity so they are suffering as properly. they are people who go through with an amputated limb, coming back to the states not having the flexibility to do the flaws they used to, or maybe coming back abode to issues that are plenty distinctive than whilst they left. some ought to comeback and not have the means to do an identical paintings they used to, that's annoying. i think of all in touch go through, in distinctive techniques, yet to assert females go through extra beneficial than adult men.. i for my area won't be able to accept as true with that.

Answer 11

It is not about rights, it is about responsibility. If you are a mature lady, then you should understand and admit that men are physically superior. Hence, can handle more work hours, can handle harder jobs, as construction, firefighting, etc.
This and the physiological demands of a woman. Menstruation, pregnancy, breast-feeding, and similar feminine things, tend to make working women take sick leaves more often, making employees very critical about choosing men rather than women.

There is nothing wrong in that. And that does not mean that women are useless, or that women are not important. Come on, if men are important ot make life exist, then women are far more important since they allow men themselves to exist.

Apart from religious or cultural beliefs, this is how God created us. Perfectly fine.

Do not forget that we have women presidents, judges, police officers, army officers, and you name it. But the fact still exists, with responsibilities comes power (in the positive sense). Besides, women should feel amazingly powerful when they see their men who are so in control of their jobs or whatever, shatter and become weak in front of theim.. Isn't that great?!

God bless.
