FEMINISM: the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of sexual equality

http://feck-blog.blogspot.com/2009/0...nding-all.html

I would say that more and more people realise that empowering women certainly doesn´t help men.

wimyn have no such identity crisis

My favorite thingie is how... A lot of feminists cry why their numbers are dwindling and (you've guessed it) blame it on the patriarchy, lol.

A lot of feminist blogs talk about the fast dwindling support of feminism, and people willing to associate themselves to it, but instead of going "hey, maybe we're doing something wrong if women dislike feminism"... They again find someone to blame.

Its funny, its almost like committing suicide. I have never seen an organization so immune to reform or self-correction and adaption. I'm trying hard to think, but I genuinely can't think of any other movement or group that has been so stubborn like... ever.

Damn!

The tables are turning faster than I've expected!

Whoopee, I got best answer. I rarely use YA, so this is my first BA on there, break out the champagne.

Feminism is not an official organisation, I still don't understand why anyone takes them seriously.
How can anyone take a group seriously when all you have to do to be part of that group is just say you are?
There are no feminist leaders, and no official agenda, so why would any woman in her right mind want identify with them?

Self-proclaimed feminists are very good at claiming they've brought changes, they take credit for women having the right to vote, the right to work, and the right to drive, yet they have had no input in any of those things, all these laws are changed by governments, not unofficial dreamers.

You had to mention that women earn less, yes, they EARN less, but they do not unfairly make less than a man for doing the same job, same experience, same overtime etc. Feminists have been using this wage gap myth to give women victim status for years, I can see you've lapped it up and didn't even question it, I'm not the slightest bit surprised. In over 40 years of playing victim to it, feminists have never been able to point to one instance of a man being paid more than a woman for the same job, same hours, doesn't this tell you something? If it was such a problem, surely we would have at least one example in 40 bloody years?
I bet if you were asked, you'd say you're intelligent, you would probably consider yourself to be a free-thinker who uses logic and common sense, and that's fine, but if it was true, then why not ask the most blindingly obvious question there is, if it really did cost 20% less to hire a woman than it did a man, then why would any company hire a man?

Women, and the world at large, do not need feminism, it is a hindrance to women, and the worst of it is the fact that they do more to hold women back and make it so it's almost impossible to respect them, yet they claim to be looking out for women, they're a laughing stock the world over, and any woman who sides with them inevitably ends up looking just as much as a laughing stock, the phrase "Turkeys voting for Christmas" comes to mind.

but somehow, you can say "I'm anti-feminism"

In the same way that you can say "I'm anti-man"?

Great answer, 6ame.

One thing I will say for this woman, however, is that at least she acknowledges at least one unfairness that works against men; something most feminists never do. I always said that I would have more respect for the dictionary definition of feminism and few self-confessed feminists, were they to at least acknowledge discrimination against men, even if they were also foolish enough to buy into rubbish such as the 'wage gap'.

I never have seen wimyn deckhands on those crab fishing boats in the Bering Sea;

this is clearly a put down of wimyn if not an outright instance of blantant discrimination and calls for compensation for all wimyn struggling agin the exclusive male patrarchy;

as an intial remedial measure I suggest a quota system of 50/50;
the repression of wimyn has just got to stop
