it's a waste of time. there's a whole lotta people neither deserving of nor desiring to become worthy of love or respect. basic human courtesy, maybe. but love and respect is different.
If you can do it, it's a beautiful thing. If everyone did it the world would be a better place. Of course not everyone can or will do it, but those who can do it aren't doing any harm so long as they don't let themselves get deluded into say, helping out serial killers to escape from getting caught so they can continue to commit more murders, which would be showing a lack of love and respect for their non-serial killer brothers and sisters. If they get that, then they're probably great peoples to have around
Oh sure. I don't know when they'll really be ABLE to study it farther, what with all the religious nuts out there. I'm not really sure how I feel about it myself, really. It makes me a little sad, but it's always fun to pull it out during discussions such as these for the humorous aspect. (least I think so)
This post is seriously brilliant and I agree totally. It really bothers me when people think that a feminist can't be a stay-at-home mom or whatever... like to be a feminist you HAVE to have a career. True equality is definitely when you can do what you want and not have someone tell you that you can't or try to make you feel bad about your life path. And yeah, I hate the "one man or woman did this.... so that means they all do it!" argument.
I think feminists have forgotten how beautiful femininity is, plain and simple. I don't see women as the weaker sex, and I don't mean to be sexist, but I do appreciate that I am stronger physically speaking than a lady. It's my natural instinct to want to protect a partner, and to care for her in every way possible. Does it make me sexist to open a door for a woman? I don't care, going to anyways. Equal rights I agree with whole heartedly, and we all should all should treated the same- but no one said we should act the same. We all have our own roles to play, biologically each one of us know that.
It seems perfectly acceptable for a woman to hate men in today's society. It makes me sad that women would think like this, even the most misogynistic men still appreciate women, even if it in very cave-man like ways linked exclusively to sex. But many women just generally hate men and want to see us exterminated. I think it says more about them than about us. Lately I have been reading on stuff like this and it makes me feel very demonised and instantly guilty just for being born a particular sex. It seems that the male species is doomed to be killed off once we can reproduce without sex through technology. Thing is, men would never get rid of women, but they seem to hate us enough to breed us out compeltely.
Thank you so much for posting this! Every movement always has a few violent extremists. These Women (quoted below) are examples of such violent extremists. REAL feminists are not cruel, vicious haters. And no, hatred and sick-revenge seeking isn't "empowerment" (although some fanatics think so). Hate and revenge-seeking just cause you to become what you hate. (Like communist revolutionaries becoming cruel dictators). Thankfully though, the majority of feminists don't get into this horrible stuff. But it's good to always be aware of this 'trap' that followers of all political movements (Left, Right or Center) can fall into... .
i love women... they are gods gift to man am i right, well at least most of the time... but why would they hate me if i dont hate them
Things don't always make sense. Which is why I'm not all about universal love and respect. Some people are just mean and crazy.
But I love MEN!!!! Those quotes given scare me. I mean think of a life without men, to me its a life without love. There is a big difference between Feminism and extremist! These women are extremists. I think these women should be locked up, because I fear what they might do to innocent people.
I think that's mean, and very stereotypical for those women to say that. I don't hate men, but I do like women better, I just feel more comfortable and at ease around women. Many males are very gentlemanly, kind, sensitive, and just down right sweet. Like many hippies, which is why I like hippie boys
To the OP: Obviously those women are over-the-top extremists. One cannot achieve equality at the expense of subjugating or demeaning another. I was unaware that Andrea had made such a hateful and violent statement. How shameful and disturbing that she rose to the leadership of NOW. Of course anyone who knew of that quote would have cause to assume NOW is full of man hating feminists out to eliminate them. I am feminist in that I support equal rights for women in all aspects of society, but I'm also a humanist. No one should be treated unfairly for my benefit (as I stated above). I don't know what your personal experience is, so I cannot speak to as to why you feel it's acceptable for women to hate men or that many of us want to see them exterminated. I certainly don't believe it is ok nor would I want to live in a world without them. In the 70's there was an anti-man narrative, mistaken in my view as it gave opponents of feminism grist for their mill (see Rush Limbaugh for an example) but that heated rhetoric is rarely if ever seen in mainstream discourse today. As to misogynists appreciating women, in some cave-man like way, I disagree. The few true misogynists I've met in my life, one just last week on another forum, find no redeeming value in women, even with regard to sex. It's a "use 'em and lose 'em" event for them. Or, in the case of the miscreant on that other forum, "men who love women are weak and not real men at all". Yes, I'm paraphrasing, but that was his argument. As I said, I don't know where you hang out that you are getting this man-hating attitude, but don't allow it to get you down. They are certainly not in the majority out in the wider world as surely as I don't feel women-haters are in the majority of the male population.
My guess is those three women just need a good hard dicking. That or their father's never loved them when they were children.
