RE: A Rejected Opinion Piece On 3rd Wave Feminism From 2013 - IDEOLOGY REWIND
Thank you very much for your response. I feel I am in a similar boat as you, I have in the past been on the feminist side of the debate, why wouldn't anyone be correct? True feminism preaches equality not opportunity. The opportunists of the group seek to destroy the foundation of the movement and create their own legacy in which they will be written into the history books as revolutionaries, the suffragettes of the 21st century.
I believe the key to really attaining equality in opportunity is just listening to eachother's pleas and building a compromise, rather than wait for their turn to speak over the last narrative. Men are not to blame, women are not to blame, we are all to blame. A group is only as strong as its weakest constituents.
Well said, I'm sure someone before has said something along the lines of, History is to be learnt from not lived by. We are always taught that to be happy you need to be excepting of what happened in the past understand why it happened, and from that create a better future.
Rather than people focusing on attacking who they think created the problem, we should all come together to discuss what can actually be done to solve the problem. It is to easy to just play the blame game and say I am in this position because of X, Y and Z rather than taking action to make a positive change.
Not to ramble on for too much longer, there are many articles out there that discuss the fact that in many cases people use the banner of feminism or any well meaning groups to push their own agenda and rise to power, which seems to be the case with many extreme left and right wing movements currently.
