re: A female perspective on feminism

Feminism today is not about "women's lib" as it was in the '70's. Feminism today is about emasculating males and berating women who choose to not work outside the home. That's all.

Which definition of feminism are we going off of?

My wife is a pro 1950s feminism that afforded women equal rights and let them get out of sammich making.

She is not a fan of the present sky screamer style of feminism. She says its destructive and only hurts the progress.

No pics.

My wife thinks that feminism was initially important but that third and fourth wave feminism is a joke and only fat blue haired bull dykes care about it now.

Precisely. They've totally screwed up the movement. Sadly doing it by reinforcing negative female stereotypes.

I’m not even sure what third or fourth wave feminism is. The whole ideology of feminism is that irrelevant to my life.

You can have all the gender neutral terms you want, girls, but nothing improves the life of a woman more than a good marriage to a good man. Especially one who will voluntarily take out the trash, cut the grass and who you know would do just about anything to keep you safe from harm.

Feminism has taken the true benefits of a happy, healthy marriage and instead told women - you can do it all on your own. And worse, you don’t need a man. And still worse, that the same men you love and respect are useless - if not the enemy. I call bullshite on the whole thing. We were not meant to walk on this earth alone.

Men need women. And women need men. We wouldn’t need each other if we were exactly the same. Feminism thinks we should be. It’s a Marxist, soulless ideology. Whatever wave it’s in.

It's where the wave of SJWs came from. It's the technology based evangelism of "social justice" and fighting "toxic masculinity"

I'll give you a clue how bat shite crazy it is. Here's one of the internal criticisms of the movement.

quote:

---

One criticism of fourth-wave feminism is that it depends on technology. As Ragna Rök Jóns argued in Bluestockings Magazine in 2013, "[t]he key problem that this '4th Wave' will face will be the disproportionate access to and ownership of digital media devices." The fourth wave is left with the "inherent classism and ableism" created by giving the biggest voice to those who can afford and use technology.[19]

Would you care to share with us beta males how it goes in your household?

It seems like I read some of her stuff many years ago but I can't remember her perspective.

What you have shared makes sense though. We are different. There is no denying that. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Ideally you work together to fill the void as needed without celebrating the weakness of the other.
