An observation: Why feminism does not want to morph into equalism or humanism?

Question

Because women(feminists) want the feminists to fight for womens rights and men to fight for mens rights.

What they want is for the genders to be continually fighting.

That is why feminism is dumb and equalism, humanism are much more intelligent and non-sexists and non-bigoted approach for society

You have a valid point but I didnt say 'dumb' for the sake of the word. I said it for the sake of scale. Scale being the worst of intelligence, dumb, and the best of inteligence being intelligent.

I checked out your question. No offense intended by the KISS approach may have been a factor.

Answer 1

Different feminists have different definitions of feminism. The most common idea of feminism is to create EQUALITY between men and women. We have to fight for women's rights in order to create equality because men already have all of these rights. Feminists are just trying to catch up.

PS. If you want to have an intelligent debate and/or conversation about feminism that's fine, but it's really juvinille of you to end your argument with "feminism is dumb."

Answer 2

If you contemplate feminism as a historical social reaction to a degressive social constelation which couldn't evolve but revolve, then there is no need to judge it other than it being progressive within its historical context. Thus, becoming obsolete, it is to fade by itself when the right time comes.

In other words, since men are not used any more to gain territory and fight with bears over caves, their primary purpose now is only to satisfy women :)

Of course, it has been like this since day one, because women create men as they are, and compete each other through them :)

Evolution tell us that the trend now is that men are becoming more femenine (loss of fertility, etc.), while women are becoming more masculine... Soon, reproduction will be on genetical level. Where would you see men in that?

Answer 3

I keep hearing the feminists say that their movement is about equality for both genders but I never see it in practice. What I see and have experienced is the exact opposite. If men's opinions do not match up with the femmes then we aren't worth listening to or we are just whining or any number of belittling remarks. And then we hear that we belittle them with our questions and answers. If femmes are about equality then why is that? And in my personal life I never see any woman who isn't out for herself and I have never had a feminist picket a courthouse in a rage about family court bias. How many of us have heard women advise other women to take a man for all he is worth? How many of us have noticed that in a relationship if a woman does not have a job then it is the man's responsibility to pay for her life style but if a man does not work then he is a bum? If femmes are for equality then why are they not fighting that kind of stuff.

The answer to your question is because they want superiority without responsibility or accountability for their actions.

Answer 4

What I'm hearing you say is that you would like to see men and women unite and fight together to solve issues that affect both genders. And though I agree with the concept, I think it would be ideal, I think it's going to take a tremendous amount of commitment from both genders to learning about the issues that affect the opposite gender in order for that to realistically happen. And I wonder, how can this be done? For instance, are men going to educate themselves on what it's like to be pregnant, raped, or faced with decisions about abortion? Will men ever be able to fully comprehend women's issues when they are not women themselves? Can women comprehend men's issues to the fullest when they are not men? I would like to think the answer could be yes, but it would take a willingness to look at these things with an open mind, an ability to truly put oneself in another's shoes. At some point, men and women alike would have to concede that they really cannot fully understand what it is really like to be the opposite gender. We'd have to give each other some credit for knowing what might be best for our own gender- we'd have to trust each other- when it comes to certain issues. And I think that having that knowledge is key. If you can't understand what it's like to truly be in someone else's shoes, you might not be motivated to help a cause you don't understand. I think the concept of equalism is great...I just don't know if both genders are capable of putting themselves in the opposite gender's shoes to the extent that is necessary in order to affect the changes that we desire. Feminism is not bigoted. Feminism is a belief in equality. There is nothing bigoted about that. I see nothing wrong with women banding together to fight for changes that they'd like to see happen in society. Are men going to do this for us? If past history is any indication, the answer is no. Some men really don't understand the issues of women...and aren't willing to take a stand on something they really don't comprehend. I think your idea is idealistic, and I wish it were that simple, but it isn't.

Answer 5

I asked a VERY similar question - twice, but it was held in limbo on both occasions. When it finally did appear, it was too far down the list to get noticed.

You plagiarize my question, and it appears lickety split.

Life can be so cruel.

e:: futile - that WAS the simplified version. I keep forgetting, I'm dealing with Americans. Note to self - play to the LCD.

Answer 6

I agree totally. Instead of classifying each other in groups (Women, Blacks, Jews etc.) humans need to classify each other simply as humans. I feel that when people push for "female/black quotas" for jobs or colleges this is sexism in and of itself and is only worsening a problem.

Very Thoughtful Observation.

It seems yes
