Hi there. I recently came across a YouTube girl called Christy0Misty and watched her videos on the problems with feminism http://www.youtube.com/user/christy0misty

It has finally lead me here!

The other day there was this news article on TV about women not achieving to their potential, or something like that, and I spontaneously started saying the following to my mom (who is 58. Can't remember exactly what I said, and what I said was probably better), and now it appears that she is fighting a lot less with my dad. Before they would argue about every little thing. I'm not sure what it was about what I said that worked for her. Maybe being a woman of her age and experience, she has an understanding of certain words that I used.


What good is more feminism?

All you get is more problems, like a man has
Nowadays, you are forced to have a fulltime job, or you're a loser. Like a man
You HAVE to be successful, or you're a loser. Like a man
You can't really be a stay at home mom, or you're lazy. Because being a stay at home mom has a lazy connotation to it

For a woman to respect a man (for us men, that means sexually desired), he has to be better than her/make more money than her/be the leader
But women want to be equals. They want to be like a man
Men and women are equal in ability. But a man merely being equal isn't impressive
The only difference is that men are physically stronger. But that hardly means anything now
With today's non-physical careers, an ordinary man's job gets little to no respect
It's no wonder the divorce rate is so high, and that women initiate 65% of divorces (and women don't want sex, and have difficulty having orgasms)
A relationship nowadays is like two equal forces fighting each other

Women these days act like men as well
To get their way, they do it the man way
It doesn't inspire men to naturally act like men around women
CONSCIOUSLY trying to act like a man feels fake, and women know it

It's no wonder women complain that there are no decent men around
Women have become men

We need to get past identity politics. They are harmful and disasterous.

My husband is a stay at home hubby. He's not a loser, no matter what others think of him.

My husband is better than me in some things, and I am better than him in others. I have an education that he doesn't have, and I bring the bacon home. I just think most women are selfish.

I want to be ME.

There's some other differences, like our brain structures are different and I produce milk for instance(though I think I read somewhere that men have the potential for it too).

It's no wonder the divorce rate is so high, and that women initiate 65% of divorces (and women don't want sex, and have difficulty having orgasms)

Again, I think it's selfishness. Also, I chalenge your claim that women don't want sex. >.>

I'm inclined to agree.

Women these days act like men as well
To get their way, they do it the man way
It doesn't inspire men to naturally act like men around women
CONSCIOUSLY trying to act like a man feels fake, and women know it

I act like me, just as my husband acts like himself.

It's no wonder women complain that there are no decent men around
Women have become men

Women have become selfish.

Anywho... welcome.

I was talking about the creation of value in the workplace.

About the sex. Not that they don't want it. I was talking about men not being as attractive anymore. A generalizing though. Just as a statistic is a generalization.

Quote from Lady Catherine

Most everyone acts like themselves. I was talking about when a man tries to woo a woman.

Quote from Lady Catherine

Women have become selfish.

Wanting equality is selfish?

Welcome.

Good to see you questioning things.

Welcome.

Threads merged. I'd appreciate you checking you haven't duplicated threads in future.

Oh. Sorry.

Fair points.

This is a weird complicated issue for me. So, I'll leave this be...

Wanting equality is selfish?

No. I was talking about the attitude that many modern women have. The entitled princess that must have everything.

Thanks for your welcomes

Admittedly, I used emotive words rather than words that would have spelt it out in a completely logical way.

For example, for 'act like men as well', you could say, 'act dominant as well', but that may not have had the same effect with my mom. Maybe she would have said, 'huh?' instead and not quite caught onto the message.

We need to get past identity politics. They are harmful and disasterous.

As Tonto said to the Lone Ranger, "What you mean 'WE', white eyes?"

Tell that to Feminists.

'WE' cannot get past it as it is thrust in our faces wherever we turn.

Don't apologize for the natural traits that comprise your individuality.

When we get emotive things often get lost in translation. But cheers
