Feminism: A Moral Compass for Change?

[HalfDzed]

Today millions of young women who benefit from the struggles of their mothers and grandmothers and would not give up any of their rights don't call themselves feminists because it's not sexy. They believe feminism is dated. They have not looked around, they are not aware that today, in the 21st century, women still do two-thirds of the world labor and own less than one percent of the assets; girls are still sold into prostitution, premature marriage, and forced labor. In times of conflict, war, poverty, or religious fundamentalism, women and children are the first and most numerous victims. Women need all their courage today, as they needed it before.

Feminism as we know it is a load of bull. Being a housewife is somehow seen as demeaning and oppressive by them but walking around basically naked is seen as empowerment? These people are delusional. Feminism has lead to the breakdown of the family structure and by extension the breakdown of society. It's all about their "rights", but if all you're thinking about is what you're entitled to where do responsibilities fit in?

There's no arguing that women are suffering the world over but Feminism is not the answer.

Are you a dame or a dude, nigga?

I don't follow. What has that got to do with what I wrote?

[HalfDzed]

Guessing from your rhetorical question, I'd say you're a girl. Damn you women, why must you make it so difficult?

Did you read the whole article?

Feminists for sure dont view walking around naked as empowering, i dont know where gemini got the idea from. They are against the sexualisation of women. Feminism has somehow become irelevant in the west due to women enjoying equal treatment, but it is thriving in the east where it is much needed. Countries that give their men much rights will eventually also do the same for the women and children. Regardless of feminism.

I thought feminists walked around naked too for empowerment.

Aww, that was the best thing I thought they did lol. True say most feminist are either ugly, old or fat.

Horta, when did sexual liberation become synonymous with modern day feminism? Was it during the 60s with the whole hippie movement and the age of exploration?

Could that be one of the things that took the focus away from establishing social equity and gender equality?

And why is there such an unnecessary reaction to feminism in general, even from women?

[zulaika]

Horta, when did sexual liberation become synonymous with modern day feminism?

and when was sex and the fairer sex ever mutually exclusive?

[HalfDzed]

I think feminists have themselves to blame for how their ideology turned out.

And if anyone has failed it, its women who either chose to misuse it, misinterpret it or misunderstand it.

I sometimes pretend to be pro womens rights to get in their pants

[gemini_snake]

actually walking around practically naked is seen as empowerment by some feminist. they see it as an expression of their sexuality. try discussing rape prevention with these women and you'll see how nuts they are.

btw feminism is not about equality, it is about superiority.

ahhh. another topic discussing the subconscious fundamentals of evolution and revolution.



this "femenism" thingy speeds up the process of whats to happen anyways.- revolution, west
and the east, lets just say they are evolving SLOWLY to conform to new modern ideas.



expression of their sexuality? haha, I'm more on the lines of slapping their behinds as they walk passed me. NOW THAT is what I call expressing my sexuality

Some of the greatest misogynists ever to have been apposed to the grandmothers of early feminists like Emmeline Pankhurst (ie the Suffragettes) were in fact women.

I say some b*tches just don’t know what’s good for them

End of discussion. Note however that the very women same who are opposing “feminisms” in all its glory are the very ones who find no difficulty in exercising the rights “evil, penis grabbing “feminists” have fought for. Those being the right to vote, own ones property and be paid a fair amount for the work one does regardless of whether one is in possession of a “mighty penis”. Can you taste the grand irony there?

If you drink from the bosom of the west (meaning if you live there), then you have the feminist movement to thank for it, not your geeljiire grand father or the distorted fantasizes of a halitosis suffering Imam “feminist’s are bitches and against Islam”-Bin Yusuf Sharmuut, al Hakeem al Makhtoom. So stop being foolish.

Oh how fickle woman is….

^Women have always been their own worst enemy, thus no surprises.

For every step they take for feminism, they take 2 back, argue along the way, break-down and cry, hug & kiss, cry some more, hug again & not kiss, take another step, run off to the washroom to "freshen up", then look for their blind-dates, get their hearts broken by some asshole, forget where they parked their car, then find themselves taking another step back, end up running in to one of their girlfriends who's having "man issues", console her, then fight with her, make-up hugs & kisses, then remember to take another step for feminism, only to remember the oven is still on & the cake has turned tart black, run back in to the kitchen, where she will find another woman's bra, burn it along with a few others of her own that she hates in the burning oven, cry again, then run off to the washroom and "freshen up" just one more time as she goes off to a feminist meeting on campus.

I love women, why guys get so worked up over feminism? I will never understand.
