Hello,
How do I even explain my feelings considering what I am going to say may seem odd. I am not not a feminist I would say Iām the complete opposite. I have never felt any different from and man, never been treated different for being a female, and never been paid less for being a female. You know maybe I would be a feminist if it was by its dictionary name, sure thatās cool. Uplifting women and all, but when it is turned Into āall men are assholesā club I was out. How are you going to say that men treat women badly and then go on and say āall men should dieā, and shit like that? Also since I am a conservative woman who doesnāt support the feminist movement I get treated like shit as well. Isnāt it about uplifting women? If I simply just say that I am a conservative pro-life woman itās like they treat me as if I have a penis and a sac of balls between my legs. What has this generation come to? Anyone female like me (or male) agree with me? (PLEASE NO HATE, truly just trying to get advice)

You are strong. You are not wrong. Being truly equal is painful, and sometimes you're looked at differently. Doesn't mean you aren't strong or smart. Anyone who brings up some easy "movement: is looking for the easy way out, Be strong! This is good you noticed.
ReplyI get what you mean, but remember what the actual purpose of feminism is. Also maybe you have not experienced inequality but there are many of men and women who have.
ReplyEvery time I hear what they say, I donāt believe it is inequality. Itās just a man being pro-life, and not liking abortion, a man who has raped/ or caused sexual abuse, or a man being a jerk. I wouldnāt really consider that inequality? Itās just man who doesnāt like abortions. It is just a man that is messed up and think raping women are fun (98% of men do not sexually abuse women which by the way I think is disgusting ), and just an asshole man, but letās be honest there is some pretty messed up females out there, not just men. š
ReplyIf women had equality in the first place, there would be no need in parts of the world for feminism. It's fine if you live in a progressive-minded country. What if you live in shithole countries like the Middle East where males tell you what you can and cannot do just because you are female.
ReplyWell obviously that is different, but Iām not talking about other countries. Iām talking about the women that live here in the United States. Also, feminism was established when women didnāt have the right to vote. So yes at the time they were not treated equally.
ReplyHello, Iām a female too. And I greatly disagree. It is self centered to think any of these movements must directly apply to you. Personally, my own life is impacted because women in these smaller pockets that you donāt pay attention to are still forced into the homemaker role and government is complicit (mind you, I am largely talking about law enforcement). Do you think perhaps the men you speak of who treat you equally would treat you this way if you were to disagree with them? Have you tried?
ReplyTo add to this is the fact that feminism is a hot mess in its association with misandry. Equality should be about leveling out playing fields for both genders. That is what I believe current feminism has evolved to, seeing as courts still rule in favors of mothers in child custody cases, women are still looked down upon for reporting their significant others as they are not seen as āloyalā, and men are still being enstilled that women are to take care of the children and have no access to child changing rooms (detrimental to both single fathers and gay parents). To be prolife as far as Iām concerned it to be against any life at all. To put a potential life above one which is being ruined or even just to maintain the same. I couldnāt imagine supporting a possible child that would go into our terrible government funded orphanages or cps over a whole existing woman.
ReplyI can respect your opinion and I can see what you are saying, but it doesnāt make what feminism today okay. What about the future women that are not given a chance? I could have been aborted, you could have been aborted? How is that right? Just because a woman feels like āthey canāt do it at that timeā doesnāt mean that that is right. Iām not here to debate, but this is what Iām talking about. Women that are for feminism put me down just because I am not like them.
ReplyCan someone please tell me why they flagged my comment? I didnāt even say anything bad or wrong?
