    My College Essay About Feminism


    A preview:


    How Feminism Has Hurt Women and Men

    Feminism is widely regarded as having "liberated" women from the "oppressive" straglehold of society's beliefs, both past and present. Feminism first rose in the 1800s to gain women the right to vote, but gained a resurgence in the 60s and 70s because of women's places in education and the workforce.

    While feminism may have started out with good intentions, it has taken a turn for the worse in the past 30-45 years. Instead of being helpful, it has hurt both women and men. Feminism has not entirely practiced what it preaches, it says that women should be allowed to be who they want, but has contradicted those sayings. It fed women "fairy tale" beliefs, telling them if they did this or that, then they would find happiness. All without being considerate of other factors. Feminism has hurt men by demonizing them as "rapists" and "criminals", and parodying them in a hurtful way. Because of society's institutionalized defence of women, men are unable to defend themselves against these attitudes because they will be "shot down".

    A. We Know What's Best For You (Or So We Believed)

    To many people, Feminism is believed to have given women more freedom. The freedom to express themselves, be a career woman, and the freedom from society’s beliefs. It has proved hurtful to women, especially those who do not share the same beliefs.

    I. Want to become “HAPPY”? Become a “MAN”!

    40 years ago, Feminism told women that if they wanted to have “happiness”, then they had to go into the workforce. Unfortunately, that is untrue. Despite having the freedom to make something of themselves, many of today’s women are unhappy. Feminism sent women into the workplace, while at the same time denying to tell them about the downfalls. Many women now try to balance their career(s) with their family at the same level, which conflicts with the biological factors. If a woman has children while balancing a high power career, it adds to her stress levels. After she comes home from working 9 to 5 in the office; she has to tend to her children, whose needs she has to fill, such as homework help and perhaps cook dinner, which then does not leave her a lot left for downtime. If she has a husband, then it could prove to be more stressful; if like her, he is too tired or if his hours are different, then she not only has to tend to the needs of her children, but possibly his as well.

    Re: My College Essay About Feminism

    I thought after that it might come off that way. I was going to add the "housewife desire" part, but realized that fit more into the third argument "What DO You Want Us To Be?"

    I'm also going to add the "Large and in Charge vs. Weak Woman" to highlight their contradictions about the working woman.

    Re: My College Essay About Feminism

    feminitism is a raft of by lies - 10 000 years of the Patriarchy

    repressing wimyn, however men saved Western wimyn from totalitarian Communism and Nazism, gave wimym white goods - vacuum cleaners washing machines TV's medicine the Pill etc

    all wimyn had to do was raise the kids in a loving way instead they mass abort their babies, denounced men in a base ways in the media and wanted men's jobs, per quotas affirmative action glass ceilings and endless and mindless complaints about all and sundry as DV, harassment and demands for equality

    very laudable and altruistic one might say !

    equality is one thing the feminit commissars will never tolerate with men

    the most abysmal facet of the feminit lie ( lack of conscience and an absence of any sense of gratitude for favours great or small from men and pressure to exploit their marks - men)

    is the creation of the institution and process machinery of killing babies as an accepted liberating folkway and in this sense the feminit wimyn totally abrogated the raison d etre of their very existence to have babies and nurture them to competent adulthood instead to eclectically destroying them as a choice - everything subsumes to this choice, as the choice to tell malicious lies about innocent men Duke Lacrosse

    the feminit system aids and abets this "choice" to do whatever with little or no come-upins

    what long term impact the subhuman abortion industry has in the West on its collective psyche as a nation time will tell;

    some of the more fulminating crackpot feminits want to extend the massacre to include all adult men

    the feminit wimyn want to abort anythng they perceive as inexpedient to their gibbering dereistic whims and this means babies, husbands any familial responsibilities in fact any responsibilitis

    you see wimyn were not endowed with wombs and breasts and monthly periods to aid and abet their careers as second rate engineers or phycisists or Generals in the theatre of War - it ain't just in their genes

    I just watched a horrifying documentary about the systematic killing of Jews in conquered countries during the Second World War - it has a dehumanising effect - the institutionalised murder of the innocent and unwanted and those designtated as subhuman by the arrogant Nazis but they allegedly only killed 6 000 000 the abortionist in the USA has been employed gainfully for at least 50 000 000 in th USA alone since Roe vs Wade shining ruling

    Re: My College Essay About Feminism

    Poor women have always worked, as have poor men

    The difference now is that Westernized women can act like rich elites always could, living in leisure and comfort

    Good luck Pokemon, I can't help predicting that you'll get a negative reaction with this kind of essay. The social sciences seem to be infested with Political Correctness these days.
    Feminism = Fear + Flattery

    Re: My College Essay About Feminism

    Luckily, I have a teacher who is aware of the weaknesses. He even gave us a question where we had to come up with strengths and weaknesses for Feminist Theory in global politics. I think my group came up with more weaknesses.

    I said it was weak because of the infighting in feminism, and that a simple solution for issues would not work for women, because of the various backgrounds and experiences we have. Like the Afghani women who disagreed with the western feminist viewpoints.

    Re: My College Essay About Feminism

    Just beautiful, young lady. It is wonderful you can see this because it is something you and all other young women are faced with.

    When I was in hospital, I had a different nurse nearly everyday and the ward had nurse helpers that were from all over the world.

    We used to talk lots about this and then as I travelled from testing to testing I got to speak to older nurses who were there walking the walks and participating in the protests.

    Women are really struggling balancing work and families and so are their husbands/partners. It is something they have to live through day after day, month after month, year after year for decades because that is how long it takes to raise children. Women's own husbands are strangers to them especially when they work shift work. It is soooo sad... no, it's worse than sad .How can this be the life women's rights gave to the younger generations.

    Some older feminists say they didn't mean for this to happen, that they only gave women the choice to either have a career or a family. But inflation didn't allow women to have that choice, men's wages didn't increase to be the sole parent provider when the market became flooded with double the amount of workers.

    It doesn't matter how many hours are offered for childcare. There is far more responsibility to being a parent than filling up time. Parents can't keep living this way. It's far too much to expect from women and from men.
    Ignorance is the Oppressor, Vigilance the Liberator.

    These older feminists were curiously silent when Simone de Beauvoir - a very vocal, well published doyen of feminism - said very clearly that women should NOT be given a choice between work and family because they would always chose family.

    For them to calim that feminism did give them 'choice' is a nonsense. Feminism gave them guilt and pressure.

    I would like to see the data and reasoning here Jools. Women were working in the thirties and forties due to the reduction in male numbers. Where was the inflation then? I don't think that the economic arguement is particulalry strong, although it has turned out that way. I would suggest the economic aspect is more complicated due to many factors including affirmative action which acted as coercing.

    One cannot keep sleeping in a bed that has been shat in, either. Being as it is women - feminists and all the female fellow-travellers - who have been busily shitting in it, it is up to women to strip the bed, do the washing and remake the bed. They - women in general - have to apologise and make good. Otherwise we will simply have a continuation of men walking away from parenthood and family.

    I don't have any data to give to you but I think I can reason this.

    I have seen from time to time some articles here on this site about the effects of women working. One of them was that men's wages didn't increase due to supply and demand.

    When there is few available, wages increase. When there are many available wages decrease.

    One cannot keep sleeping in a bed that has been shat in, either. Being as it is women - feminists and all the female fellow-travellers - who have been busily shitting in it, it is up to women to strip the bed, do the washing and remake the bed.

    Oh, I don't believe in this. But I understand it's something you do.

    Re: My College Essay About Feminism

    The newly revised piece:


    I.Want to become “HAPPY”? Become a “MAN”!

    40 years ago, Feminism told women that if they wanted to have “happiness”, then they had to go into the workforce. Feminism tried to use our "similarities" to men, as well as their own beliefs for justification. Unfortunately, that is untrue. Despite having the freedom to make something of themselves, many of today’s women are unhappy.

    There are those who juggle a career and family on their own accord, then there are the ones who do both because they feel they have to live up to the requirements. The requirement to be the image of the “modern woman”.

    Many women now try to balance their career(s) with their family at the same level, which conflicts with two factors. If a woman has children while balancing a high power career, it adds to her stress levels. After she comes home from working 9 to 5 in the office; she has to tend to her children, whose needs she has to fill, such as homework help and perhaps cook dinner, which then does not leave her a lot left for downtime. According to the Maclean’s article Men Are Getting Happier (And Women More Miserable), 73% of Canadian mothers juggle both.

    If she has a husband, then it could prove to be more stressful; if like her, he is too tired or if his hours are different, then she not only has to tend to the needs of her children, but possibly his as well. This is the biological factor, the other half is the psychological factor.

    When the woman tries to balance her career with her family, she has to sacrifice her career to an extent; therefore giving her the disappointment that she cannot follow her dreams or be that image, lowering her self confidence.

    Having realized the disillusionment, women are now opting to jump the ship and go back to the home. In 2009, the Australian version of 60 Minutes aired a piece called “Superstar Housewives”, which revealed that 2/3 of Australian women were willing to return to the home environment. For some women, it's not "homesickness", but that the thrill of a career just isn’t there. The “happiness” described by feminism? Just an empty hole. The promotions just mean more unhappiness. In her book 30 something and Over It, Kasey Edwards notes a statistic that shows 26% of women in top management positions don’t want higher promotion.

    Rather than accept our biological differences and work around them, we focused too much on our “similarities” with men, and tried to run with that. Instead of advancing, it has slowed us."

    A new piece for the men's side:

    "
    Over the decades, men have been the subject of society's contempt, much of which has stemmed from double standards and propaganda. While misogyny has been given wide recognition and considered wrong; misandry has been given recognition, but has been unpunished. Rather than recognize that both sexes inherit the same personality traits, behaviors and attitudes have been assigned to the genders.

    Misandry is the result of the historical interpretation that men are responsibile for all the evil and oppression in the world. As a result, men have become the scapegoats for women's "issues" and other issues in the modern day.

    In both popular culture and politics, men are stereotyped as evil and clumsy.

    In politics, men are assigned the role of rapists and criminals, as seen with domestic violence adverts that almost always portray women as the victims; despite statistics showing that men are at equal or higher risk to be victims, which I will discuss later. DV adverts are not the only form of public institution where the "evil man" stereotype is perpetuated; women's shelters have also promoted it. According to the Ontario Taxpayer's Report, the staff at the Halton Women's Shelter exposed young children and women to misandry; via their personal sentiments and a graphic video on domestic violence, which the children had to watch."
