Tell Me About Feminism

[DeeryTheDeer]

And your thoughts on gender roles/stereotypes.

[no-Name]

There becomes a point when gender equality becomes womyn superiority. I think feminism can go either way. Like everything else, there are extremes, and too much of a good thing almost always ends up bad.

[DeeryTheDeer]

Can you list real examples of where women have tried to assert superiority over men? I know there are a few crazy misandrists out there who claim to be feminists, but I think the concept of feminism has become so tarnished and negatized for that reason partly to keep women down and from speaking out about women's rights.

It doesn't sound like its about equality to me.

The name says it all, really: Feminism. It's not about equality of the sexes, but the superiority of the feminine vs. the masculine approach, to governance, business, relationships, and any and all human realms. I accept much of the criticism leveled at "The Patriarchy" of old, and recognize the continuing disparagement of the feminine in many areas, but find Humanism far superior to Feminism in addressing these issues. Granted, we likely wouldn't be in a position to consider true Humanism without Feminism having fought for women's rights, and there continues to be a role for Feminism in areas both geographical and ontological.

Can you list real examples of where women have tried to assert superiority over men? There are plenty of relatively insignificant examples based on the observations and experiences of others, but here's one that would make any rational person's (man or woman) blood boil. I'm not usually one to say, all in good conscience, that a person should just drop dead. Valerie Solanas, however, is one major exception. She can drop dead. And HARD. I'll post my thoughts on feminism in more detail later (at work right now), but for now, let me just say that I strongly agree with Taosaur.

They always accuse men of sexual harassment/rape and they are the ones that are sexist.

i dont believe in equality of anything. There are too many factors that come into play that make a person act the way they do. Lots of it coming from how they were raised. I dont believe that everyone is equal. There are some people who are waaay better than others, but i dont believe that just because you are a certain sex/race makes you better or worse.
