are you a feminist?

[annabenedetti]

A woman who has the audacity to define herself ...

You know what, I like that. I like it a lot.

 

[chrysostom]

So... what does "feminist" mean?

you know what it means
but
here is a clue

any woman who blames man for whatever ails them

That would be funny ... if it wasn't so ignorant ...

Seriously, not everything is about you.

 

[annabenedetti]

I believe the term does refer to someone being "pro-woman", but that being pro-woman does not automatically equate to being anti-men.

Agreed.

I remember stories about my grandmothers, both women who resisted the status quo of their time in the limited ways that they could, and how far we've come (although not far enough in some cultures) from the times when women had little say in their own destinies.

What do you call men who blame women for whatever ails them?

 

[Rusha]

Agreed.

I always figure I know as much as I need to know about a person when their first, only or main rebuttal is "FEMINIST!"

Or blame women for everything that goes wrong in our country ...

 

[annabenedetti]

Or "feminazi."

 

[Rusha]

they elected clinton and obama

not to mention pelosi, reid, frank, etc

 

[annabenedetti]

they elected clinton and obama

not to mention pelosi, reid, frank, etc

Without any help from the menfolk?

Uh huh. Remember the time we had a Republican in the White House and they overturned RvsW?

 

[chrysostom]

I don't remember a time when the democrats could not block a judge's nomination

 

[chrysostom]

That's dumb.

If a wife is being beaten by her husband, then she should blame him.

Does it help you sleep at night when you blame women for everything that is wrong in the world?

 

[chrysostom]

I actually blame the girly men

 

[annabenedetti]

you call them men?

Of course I call them men. Did your gender help elect the people you don't want in office, or did they not?

 

[Rusha]

That's dumb.

If a wife is being beaten by her husband, then she should blame him.

He STILL pretends to not understand this. I don't deny that some have taken Feminism to an extreme.

What Chrys refuses to admit is that feminism WAS a reaction to being treated like a second class citizens.

 

[Rusha]

I blame the type of *men* who uses phrases like "girly men".
