Bull****. Is a traditionalist a person that wants a mixture of old-timey and modern culture? Is a white supremacist a person that thinks we should have race equality? Do we have people that are atheistic theists running around? Man...please....Femin/ist...a person who has a primary concern that is women. It is what it is.
Femine, masculine, supreme.
Feminist, Masculinist, Supremacist.
That's a common retaliatory strategy of ideologues. The aforementioned Scientologists will tell you that you criticize Scientology because you are afraid of "your crimes." I only "fear" those that only care about advancing the rights of women. Like feminists. And, more broadly, American society for the last half century. The vast majority of major issues women face have been confronted, acknowledged, and in many cases, reversed. That's a good thing indeed. However, the rights of men have been ignored by the feminist movement, and, thus, American society. You say I have no "proof", but I have never in my life seen a feminist speak about the inequalities men face. I'm not sure how else you would prove such a claim. In fact...how the hell can you be a feminist by any definition if your primary concern at that point in time isn't the rights of women? If your concern becomes both genders, then you would by any definition no longer be acting as a feminist.
Males of all races (black, white, etc.) *are* discriminated against. The difference is that throughout human history, we have left a legacy of institutionalized societal discrimination against women. For much of American history, and the world's history, they have been second-class citizens.
I don't care if women are my "equals"...**** it. People are people. I actually get along better with my female coworkers than my male coworkers. Mostly because they are all Pitt grads that watch football and I want them to all die. But anyway...I care if their past wrongs are corrected and mens' past wrongs still exist...and these changes are done at a vastly disproportionate rate. How the hell can feminists honestly say they are all for equality? I just don't buy it.
Women care. Brothers, fathers, sons, partners of women care.
Of course they are are for equality. There may be some thing you find egregious but to indict the entire movement is unfair, at best.
Dude had balls. That's enough.
Yeah, it does takes balls to plagiarize. Again, I don't care too much about this since it is quite common actually.
Maybe...I dunno...I don't really have a life...so I just sit around...philosophy is my hobby...just sittin' on the porch...and I 'spose during the course of such, I think about new **** that pisses me off...it is what it is.
lol, fair enough.
Meh...no, the difference between King and the NAACP. King focused on everyone's rights...the NAACP just cares about black people. That's why the feminist movement is offensive to me. It is cognitively ignoring half of the population.
Well I don't know much about the NAACP but I believe they also work on behalf of other underrepresented minorities although it was born (sp?) out of the movement to secure rights for previously enslaved blacks
Is it? You google that one? Hell, I thought I was just making **** up as I went along. Anyway...then what is the point of using two terms? Wouldn't the use of only one term thus imply that you care less about about the other? To me it does. If I went around and claimed that I was a "masculinist", I'd probably be seen as a sexist. Because men aren't allowed to care about their rights in this culture. Just like a group called the "National Association for the Advancement of White People" would probably be considered racist...yet the NAACP is just fine. And insofar as the history of the feminist movement, its been clear that they only care about the advancement of women. Focusing on the rights of only one sex is just wrong.
Yeah it is. No I didn't google it. Do you make a lot of stuff up? Interesting to know.
I took a class called Women & lit. We read a book called "The Book of the City of Ladies," and our unabashedly liberal feminist (and she *did* hate men) indoctrinated me so I went from thinking like you to the way I think now. No....use of one term does not imply disregard for another concern. You can be an environmentalist that also cares about seemingly competing interests. Yeah, you prob. would be seen as sexist, actually, and I must agree, that is wrong. I've never heard of that group, but I wouldn't consider them racist just because of their name. Personally, I think there is ample evidence for discrimination against white people. To me, racism is hideous wherever it rears its ugly head and every group has suffered because of it. No one group has a monopoly on being victims of racism, although I'm sure the NAACP (even though I don't know much about the group) may try to persuade people to believe this. Again, if feminists care principally about the advancements of women's rights, then we should be cognizant that there has been a legacy of institutionalized gender-based discrimination in our society.
