That's more on the admins than it's on me. But I'll do my best.

Babe, the admins don't just ban people for no reason. Well most admins don't.

Just behave yourself.

I miss you when you're not here.

Feminism like the rest of the establishment Left has become "The Man"

Two examples: The treatment of Ayaan Hirsi Ali at Brandeis and the attempt to have her banned from speaking at Yale. A woman who has spoken out against Female Genital Mutilation, and has had her life threatened abandoned by "Women's Groups". Because Muslim trumps Female Genital Mutilation. LINK

The second is of course the "Feminists"
who turned a blind eye to the countless times Liberal men assaulted and exploited female staffers, and other women. From JFK to Teddy, to the SDS, to Bill Clinton. Feminists just use the cause of equal rights to get their snouts into the government trough or to make sure no one touches their precious right to an abortion.

Hypocrites.

Threads like this are great because we get to criticize no particular person, only the caricature of some mythical feminist.

Feminists are ok with Muslim female oppression? Absolutely not.

Feminists are against stay at home mons? Nope. Feminists support a woman's right to choose her path.

Feminists are lonely bitter women? Again I submit the vast majority of smart able high-achieving women, like the HLS class of 2017, are feminists.

And if you are a woman and hate feminists, good for you but don't expect to get more than boner jokes out of this crowd.

This may be true among some feminists, but they have done a very poor job of making that point. It seems feminism is more fixated on power and perceived inequality. Most feminist opinion I've seen has been against stay at home moms because of financial independence

LINK

quote:

New York City attorney and author Elizabeth Wurtzel makes a number of provocative arguments about feminism, class and politics that denigrate stay-at-home moms. Its title, "1% Wives Are Helping Kill Feminism and Make the War on Women Possible," along with its subhed, "being a mother isn't a real job -- and the men who run the world know it," sum up parts of the piece, and its arguments go even farther.

I've never heard or read anything from a feminist that would indicate that they support all choices that women make. In fact it's actually been the exact opposite. Really its been more like "gold digger","basically a prostitute",and "waste of talent and opportunity".

Stuff like this from linked Atlantic article-
quote:

 I am going to smack the next idiot who tells me that raising her children full time -- by which she really means going to Jivamukti classes and pedicure appointments while the nanny babysits -- is her feminist choice. Who can possibly take feminism seriously when it allows everything, as long as women choose it? 


I have little in common with todays feminists. I do think many of my beliefs regarding women are more in line with first gen feminism.

Long winded much just to get a few more 50 cent words in. If a group doesn't want to be labeled by what you call the "vocal minority" then these more level headed majority members need to speak up and say these wing nuts don't represent us.

Oh really? They've not done one thing to bring world wide or even national attention and pressure to the brutal treatment of women. And when someone such as Ayaan Hris Ali tries to speak, they join the usual suspects in having her banned, such as at Brandeis, and tried the same thing at Yale.

As a matter of fact it's been Laura Bush and other conservative women who have been the most vocal and active supporter of women oppressed by Islam.

This, and their support of misogynist Leftist men is the reason I dislike them. Because those stands have the potential to affect me. I also don't like their victim mentality because it cheapens what my incredibly successful daughter has done. On her own.

I ask you where exactly you would even see a feminist's position on anything?

That article discusses stay at home moms who perpetuate sexist stereotypes.

It's not hard to understand really.

Well, I guess it is.,

Wrong. Feminists are confronted with a choice between feminism (FGM is not OK) and multiculturalism (we cannot condemn 3rd world practices).

Feminists are hypocrites. They won't answer the question.
