When Did Feminism Become So Embarrassing?

[Cancel 2018. 3]

and of course onceler still can't find the post where i said that.

yawn.

and i did not call her snarla in my apology. another lie. seriously, you're sick in the head.

I have zero doubt of who's telling the truth here. Yurt has been caught in too many lies to count and you never have even once. This is a no brainer. The titmouse is at it again!

LOL

you had me wrong on one PM and that equals "lies"

wow....you are as demented as onceler.

Yurt actually made the argument once that there are no such things as "women's issues."

This thread has actually been a pretty good read...

i just searched "women's issues" under my username....no such post exists.

How do you know Barbie isn't a feminist? Some of her outfits scream feminism. Just because she likes nice things, doesnt mean she isn't a feminist!

I have a strong dislike for Barbi. I think that she is the first step in objectifying women, by teaching our little girls that tiny waists and huge tits are the way she is supposed to look.

My point is I don't share the respect that some on here have for those people. I read Fear of Flying once and found it to be intensely boring. I even tried to read Betty Friedan back in the '70s but I couldn't get through more than a few pages.

I think that this really epitomizes male entitlement. Here is a fool who has been told his entire life that his opinions hold great weight and importance. A naval-gazing, self-important, pompous asshole obsessed with the smell of his own various bodily emissions. So much so that he actually believes that a movement that improved the lives and alleviated the suffering of an untold number of women can be dismissed because he is too stupid to get through a book.

He’s as important as the pimple on a dog’s ass, but this guy thinks his opinion of feminist thinkers is enough to discredit a movement that changed the world.

That’s male entitlement right there. Fucking unbelievable. And delusional.

Hey! It's important to the dog.

i don't believe the women or yourself have allowed it. people define ideas, movements by their own biases or beliefs. if all they see are people like darla and bijou spouting their version of feminism....then of course that is how their view will be defined. hopefully they see more people like you.

What I have seen is Darla and Bijou defining feminism as fighting for equality. I'm confused on how that is wrong.

Hey make no mistake, Steinem was a HOTTIE!

Great point!! And that really goes to proving marcotte's point. The point that sf sound so objectionable that he pull quoted it in his op.

I had forgotten, that until 1975, women could not sit on juries because we were not considered peers! I, too, forget hw far we have come in a very short time!

Its worse than that, Rana. In 1996 my wife (married to someone else at the time) wanted to have her tubes tied after she gave birth to her second child. She had to have her husband sign too or they would not do the surgery. There was no such restriction for men wanting a vasectomy.

Seriously! Boggles the mind!

Point to me any mass political movement where that's not true about extremist?

Extremists? A little more specificity, please. To which group are you making that reference?

We have a group called 'Extremists in Politics'. We are having tremendous problems with one or two out and out moderates.

According to Slate’s Amanda Marcotte, Mayer’s rejection of the feminist label boils down to pure cowardice: “Those who take up the mantle of social justice have always been people who, for whatever reason, are willing to be hated and willing to suffer repeated losses that affect them personally. . . . Someone who would rather do what's right than what's profitable simply isn't going to climb very high on that corporate ladder. ” Mayer, feminist writers seem to agree, is ditching the ideological date that brought her to the dance.

Ok... ladies... please help make sense of the above... cause batshit crazy springs to mind when I read it.

They have a tight hold of their status as victims.
I think feminism got ugly when it mixed with LGBT. Lesbian feminism, Gender studies, women studies, queer theory, this whole anti heteronormative ideology. Its like the lesbians took over the movement, ideologically speaking. Nothing more heteronormative than men and women becoming husbands and wives and fathers and mothers to their children in a nuclear family. They would like to think gender and sexuality are social constructs, when in fact the roles of mother and father are biological constructs.

Hey! It's important to the dog.

I am sorry Apple but the only dog like reference that is applicable is that she is barking mad.

Since part of this discussion seems to center around sex and abortion, then my take is this.
If a women feels that it's OK to have unprotected sex and then have an abortion; then she should also promote that women who decide to have a child shouldn't be asking for child support from the man, if he didn't want the baby born.

Yoiu're full of shit, or maybe it's the quack dactors you see; because after our last child was born and I went to see about a vasectomy, my wife had to attend and her signature was right there with mine.
That was back in the early 80's.

In the 90s my brother had to get his wife's signature for his vasectomy.
