A good intentioned idea that has backfired badly on woman and families.



like all good intentions dna... it ends up abused taken over by the overzealous...greenpeace is the same...

I have never been a joiner...one thing I cant stand is anyone else telling me what to think...and especially to gang up on someone or something....and thats what the people who run these things do....the power of bullying to get your own way....no thanks..the way I see it feminism has done more harm than it ever did good.this is one example of freedom for us girls..

If Lisa doesn’t like feminism then feminism has a lot going for it!

Was born out of WWII where women had to work because the blokes were off playing soldiers. Same thing happened in/after WWI but womens rights were lost in the high unemployment in the UK etc.

Feminism is not going away and has new battlegrounds: unequal pay for equal work, less superannuation due to lower pay and having to take time off from work/career to bring kids into the world and bring them up.

Inadequate males are threatened by feminism but stuff them!

With all due respect to the women of this forum, I think feminism is like a really important bill that never gets passed into legislation because of all the dubious baggage that gets tacked on by fringe special interest groups.

A group that has so little to fight for in the west it has to make up issues.
A group that not only fails to note any of the genuine suffering in other parts of the world, but goes so far as to side with those causing the suffering.
A group that stands against free speech and critical thought.
A divided group which is no longer aware of quite what it stands for.
A group so divided it takes to speaking for races and sexualities that have no want for them.
A group that will oppress others to force a minority to do something that makes it miserable.
A group willing to discriminate on the base of sex, race, sexuality and religious conviction and then call people sexists, bigots, racists, homophobes and islamiphobes.

I know this thread asked for only women to right, but the day feminism declared it spoke for gays, it gave me a right to speak on it (or better yet, the moment the people took the right to free speech, I was given the right to speak on it).

I honestly think that these days feminism means the oppression of men.But there are different types of feminism and different levels so sometimes it means equality of the sexes, other times it means more than this.

To me, the position of feminism means that those women who are not readily attractive to men will hold the same power (if not more) of those who are.

A bit silly IMO.

In our society, this ridiculous concept seems to be pointing otherwise normal contributing women into a life of destitude in the name of media driven pride.

Something like that. Pfft....it's a shame that modern women seem to be so silly sometimes.

Just another minority group who think they have achieved all before achieving anything.

It's no secret that women "dress to impress" other women, not men.

I think that many less physically attractive women tend to attempt to "stomp on men" in an effort to impress other women and assume themselves as smarter than an attractive woman.

Then there is another angle of feminism which promotes women's sexuality with public nudity of attractive bodies...go figure.

How's about we just ignore them all and just fly our planes?
