RE: OUTRAGE OF THE DAY: "100 Easy Ways to Make Women's Lives More Bearable"

in #feminism6 years ago

What nowadays is classified as feminism has nothing to do with classical feminism. Humans seem to botch every relevant idea, god/s know why. Look at political correctness the general idea was just to remind people to be bit less of the asshole without but not it has become the insane thought police. The same can be said about feminism. I in my youth was a classic feminist and in parts am still today, just don't use the label because the riffraff has made it a badge of shame. Classic feminism sought for equal rights. It seems to me however that modern feminism just wants to turn the ship around and subjugate men, that is as unacceptable as the subjugation of women.

The goal of an evolved humanity is a society where everyone is valued equally and is allowed to evolve into the best version of them self with support of the community. This means that if a woman wants to be a quantum physics professor, engineer, general, if she wants to excel at the arts or finds her bliss in home making and motherhood this should all be acceptable and supported. The same rules should apply to men though if a man wants to live out a traditional role great if he wants to choose a non traditional role equally great.

Don't get me wrong there is inherent inequality in our culture but it goes both ways and all of it needs to be cleaned up. Factually woman do make less money than men and are often overlooked for promotions . It is also true that there are fewer women in power positions, but it's changing. Slower than many of us would like but it is changing.
I often have to remind people that 47 years ago my mother needed a signed document from my stepfather to let me travel with her because in those days children like wives where in many ways considered the "property" of men. Classical feminism did change a lot and I am thankful for it as I personally would have died in a purely traditional role.

That being said this notion that one has to force people into submission of one's ideals and this insane overcompensating is making the problem worse not fixing it. Like the PC crowed that now has become the thought police feminists, or some of them seem to have become man haters . Truth is that this approach will just create a greater divide. Stop forcing people to stuff when it comes to their individual lives. Best example the gay marriage issue. In my opinion allowing gay marriage is a human right and it was long time to allow it. A totally different matter was the gay wedding cake issue. Forcing a person to serve you is not going to change mindsets, plus the guy is gonna piss in your cake batter or worse. Let people be misogynists , racists and general ass hats. Let them learn by the social feedback they get and the failing of their businesses. The same applies to feminism, sure protest, write letters and articles. but as long as someone is not coming into your space and encroaching on you own freedom and/or prosperity you don’t get to rule over them either.

And when it comes to equal rights it is seldom discussed how single fathers , or male homemakers are treated. Often they are ridiculed and off the bat dismissed as nurturers. They often have a lot less support and constantly have to endure people trying to make them feel like they are less of a man - not cool! Yes there are qualities and traits that generally are more found in one or the other gender , but it does not disqualify those who are more gender fluid and it should never be taken as measure of one's competency . One's actions and track record should. So yes the woman who wrote that article is a twat …
