American Feminism is Going too Far
I see what my contender is trying to do, that being revealing himself as one of the few males that considers himself a feminist by his standards to appeal to women by fighting for an equality that already exists. By all means, power to you. However, at the end of the day, you are a boy, with boyish features and a male anatomy who does not think like a woman as feminine as you might be. Have you ever heard the song lyric, "don't save her, she don't wanna be saved", by J. Cole? If you think about it, women have always been second class because they have put themselves in that position, as unfortunate as that is. It is up to individuals to change that, not a whole army of angry women born into a society their ancestors created for them. Pick up a history book and look at how women are merely baby makers and personal chefs and maids to their husbands. Any one of Henry VIII's wives could have stabbed him in his sleep but they didn't. They didn't fight for freedom. They did not fight for education and work until much later. Many women, not all, have put themselves in the second class position. Anyone can be a head of a multi-million dollar enterprise or get the job they want or salary they want, if they want it enough. For example, my aunt went to an ivy league university [Columbia], at 15, before becoming SVP of a branch of one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies on the globe [Merck]. That being said, frankly, not just anyone can be anything or get anything they want if they are not up to the standards for it, or else the world would be utter chaos. No company owner is stupid enough to drive away a huge influential force in his business just because she's a woman. Another thing, of course they get paid less, everyone starts out with a little, and it grows too. The rate of growth for women is significantly less than the vast majority of men due to very simple reasons. Studies have shown men take riskier approaches when it comes to building their careers. They also ask for raises in a more suitable way and more often. Women are caught up in other ideals, respectively. Me and many other women have agreed we take on other responsibilities besides work which means we are not at the workplace as much as men, meaning we get paid less. It's not fair to be paid the same if we aren't doing as much work. You can agree with that. At the end of the day, equality is important. However, fighting for equality and peace between the genders is like having sex for virginity. I never said women can't be feminists. I just said it can get out of hand by asking for too much too late. It's hard to quickly change society's view points after thousands of years of the established, "women are the second class". http://ideas.time.com... http://www.npr.org... http://www.phillymag.com...
