Feminism at my school
(09 Nov 2008)
I'm 16, and I go to private school with a bunch of waspy kids who LOVE Obama. I don't think I've found one Hillary supporter. Last year when I said I supported Hillary and considered myself a feminist, people were shocked. Only crazy old ladies supported that crazy b*tch, and only crazy old ladies are feminists, they said. Crazy? Okay, pretty sure feminism is just the belief that women should be equal to men. And oh, why is Hillary crazy? They had no answer.
I can't believe I spend everyday with...

The Truth About The "Nice Guy" and Feminism (long)
(08 Oct 2008)
Got this from a poster in the Tom Leykis forum. I think he covered everything I've been thinking about for the past few years. And just in case you missed it the first time, this is a long article, so I broke it up into three posts.
Quote: :
"... I find that women outside of the USA tend to like the same qualities in men that American women dislike. In general, american women will denigrate, oppress, and discriminate against any man that has any self respect or character. They tend to only toler...

Feminism, Patriarchy, Gender Roles
(07 Oct 2008)
There have been a number of threads recently on the topic of feminism and related issues. PassionFruit's recent thread on raunch culture got me thinking about a particular question, which I will probably also explore on a blog elsenet.
For the purposes of this thread (and to provide context for my question), let's start with a few premises.
Let's work with the premise that America is a patriarchy, as are many other cultures around the world. I realize patriarchy is a loaded word, but bear with m...

History, Feminism and the bible
(10 Sep 2008)
Hi all,
I just had a thought, and I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks about it.
The bible declares women are to be ruled by men. It gives men their place (head of the household for instance), and women their place below men (you can argue that I'm over simplifying, but I'm referring to mostly leadership roles).
Is it at all possible that the 'victors wrote the history books', and the bigger and stronger males of our wonderful human race declared themselves as leaders, just because us men...

Feminism Exposed (fascinating essay, supplement to great big abortion thread...
(13 Oct 2008)
This is a bit long, but it's one of the more thought provoking essays I've read in a while. The author paints an interesting picture of the effects masculine evil and feminine evil can have on culture, and what he thinks is currently happening today.
Here's an excerpt:
Quote: : Something deeply significant happened after WWII. The world was already reeling from the experience of two World Wars and the Great Depression in the space of a single generation. When the excesses of Nazism were exposed...

John McCain's selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate
has energized the right. Conservatives view her as one of their own and are
enthralled by her life story. She is a Washington outsider who, unlike the
Democratic presidential nominee, impresses as being sincere, fresh, and new.
Moreover, in juxtaposition wi...

Feminism, post-election
Sexism persists; witness Clinton's treatment and Palin's nomination.
By Vivian Gornick
November 9, 2008
For a second-wave feminist like myself, this election year has been a roller-coaster ride: exciting, and sick-making, and yet again exciting. We have seen an eminently qualified woman contend for a presidential nomination and fail, at least in part because she was demonized as a dragon lady; then we have seen a shamefully unqualified woman handed a vice presiden...

Palin & Feminism
(10 Oct 2008)
Anna Quindlen's recent essay on Palin argues that Palin is mere window dressing designed to hide the sad reality that women in our society are still not provided the same opportunities as men. Brilliant and certainly worth a read. Here it is:
The Leadership Lid
One of the greatest natural resources in America is going underused. And she may be sitting right at the next desk.

Years ago someone referred to me as a show pony, trotted out to prove a point. It was at...

Feminism=Fail
(10 Sep 2008)
While most forms of activism are downright stupid, feminism seeks to drag down our expectations to a whole new level.
The other day I saw a group of feminist hags at Wal-Mart in the men's clothing department. While I tried to contain my laughter, a man walked up and started hitting on them. The hags started screaming at him for being oppressive and he started crying that he was gay and they made apparently him question his sexuality. I had to walk away at that point so I wouldn't laugh myself in...
