Do girls want sex?

What is feminism to you?

And if the white women in question are on the "same level as their counterparts", do you think that is unrelated to feminist activism in the past?

 

Oh, boy-we'll be here all night!

You know, honestly, without getting into all the ins and outs of it, which could take several books-there is an underlying current in most feminist thought that causes people (women) to be perpetually dissatisfied. If women now have the opportunity to have certain careers, postions, relationships that they previously didn't have, there is always the attempt to analyze the new found freedom in a negative way, and to accuse the people or societies that have given them this new freedom of impure motives and of actually being guilty of the behavior that they are really putting behind them. It's a victim mentality. Instead of really liberating women from certain attitudes/constraints, it perpetuates the concept of women as victims, even when they aren't.

The whole philosophy, as far as I'm concerned, is really a war against nature. It never really allows people (women in particular) to relax and accept their own humanity/femininity and always questions the motives, even the purest, of people that are acting towards women, and ultimately the women themselves. That's because it's rooted in the concept of a philosophy of victimization, and in order for it to continue, it has to perpetuaute the idea of women as victims. This, however, really implies that women are inferior, and instead of liberating them, actually does just the opposite.

 

i never said it race was a medical problem. i am simply saying that prejudice, regardless of who it targets, is unacceptable and harmful. and that every person who genuinely believes in their prejudice has a reason or rationale behind it

 

You're thoughtful enough about it, that I can live with that.

I guess your disagreement with feminism hinges on a victim mentality, and the fact that feminism runs counter to natural feminine traits.

I don't know that that describes all of feminism (really a loose term). In fact that discussion exists within feminism. Also, you seem to believe that societies have given women certain freedoms out of their own socio-political volition (which is never the case with oppressed groups), without activist pressure.

Anyway, I probably don't fully agree with you although I understand your point. But that's just as well.
