Feminism

The Case against Feminism There are many reasons to stand in opposition to Feminism, I will outline 5 below. 1. Anti-Egalitarian Misandry Often these two words get confused (Feminism and Egalitarianism). Feminism is not, And has never, Been about universal equal-treatment. In fact, There are many cases feminists will stand in opposition to male rights in order to bolster their own. This is especially evident in their vehement opposition and mischaracterization of the Men's Rights Movement. 2. Self-centred A wise, Blue-haired, Shrieking harpy-demon once told me: "Why is it always women that are expected to center everyone else"s issues in their movement? " Truly, I've never heard something so profound in it's implication. One may argue that since the feminist movement juxtaposes women against men, They do not care who they must step over to achieve a perceived state of "equality. " In other words - the leaders of the movement want power, And are willing to sacrifice empathy to obtain it. 3. Deconstructionism This is more a jab at the contemporary feminist movement. I'm going to use Nietzsche here, Because the postmodernists like him so much. Read: [1][2] In the same way a weakling may rationalize his weakness, The postmodernist rationalizes the failure of socialism. A smart man could never be fooled by such a rationalization, And this makes them angry. The truth is that American culture has always been gynocentric, And the postmodern feminists know this. This thought burns them deeply resulting in seething anger. The feminists regularly gleefully attack the foundational values to our society gleefully and use "sexism, " or "misogyny" as an excuse. This is the equivalent of saying: "I could never create something to rival your traditions, So I will attack what they value most. " 4. Hypocritical I'm not going to spend much time here as it's quite self-explanatory. A feminist expects us to respect them and their actions while behaving in obscene manners and disrespecting us. I will not respect you because of your genitalia - I will respect anyone unless given a reason to do otherwise. 5. Counterproductive As it turns out, The majority of women do not want to be soldiers, Firefighters, Bricklayers, Or scientists. In attempting to achieve equal representation they are stomping upon the ideals of females who have chosen to be caring mothers, Nurses, Or poets. When treated equally, Gender differences in choice widen. [3] A brief response Quote: "Also, For clarification, "In all forms" do you mean including women's suffrage? " Women's suffrage is not 'feminist, ' and it was the result of a shift in culture and subsequent advances a result of the introduction of birth control and other scientific advancements. Quote: "Women should be exactly equal to men. " No, They shouldn't because we aren't equal in many regards. I'll recommend in the next round you rephrase this to: "should be treated equally to men. " Quote: "I am against some feminism, Primarily the radicals, The 'victims' and the idiots. " I would say feminism in it's current state IS radical, And the majority of women aren't feminists.
