Do you really think any of the women here need to be told the feminist movement boarders on female worship and goes to far. Do you think we don't know many have turned into man haters and that this is also wrong?
It is part of the much needed process of social change it always happens that way. It is the ONLY way people pay attention and the weak sheep learn to stand tall and not be bullied. It has always been ugly whennthings shift because the pendulum HAS to balance out the ones who drag their feet in said change..
Who was this original topic written for the women or the men?
Was it for the men? To what end discuss again women's errors? If you truely saw women as equals and had compassion it seems unlikely you would be threatened by the more aggressive versions of feminism and understand how far we still have to go to true equality and would understand it's part of the process.
Alll social change happens like a pendulum swing - over shoots and comes back to balance..
If you wrote it for women was it to chastise us or what just to tell us we aren't better than men?
Any woman HERE would know we aren't better than the other sex.
So me I am on Instagram and only for mind opening stuff..
I am not an activist but i live to see underdogs reclaim their value. I love people. Both sexes all cultures. I only have posted 3 things 2 that point out the unfair way society treats men, and another an osho quote that speaks of being all cultures all races because I love them all.
I follow all kinds of black pride, Spanish pride, gay pride movements and until this thread NO feminist ones. I interact with all these groups and see their beauty, their cultures and beingness are gorgeous they interact with me and when they go to far I point out that I am white but certainly do not see them anyway but as an equally beautiful valuable being. I love them.
I can't sift through all this stuff on here line by line it's to much.
I hope you guys and gals can find the convo you need but I'm still sort of realling over this entire thread happening here. I guess we all get silly expectations here and there in life one of mine is since I shelter others from hate I'm always shocked when people do not do the same for me(as a woman)
Thank you sincerely for those who spoke for women or opened your hearts enough to try to see what you have not experienced.
Glow, I was not intending this to any gender. I was highlighting the institutional level from which ideas are spread. The ideas that Janice is opposed to is that the answer to solving our oppressive system lies in suppressing male energy, and following a diversity protocol that the most talented individual will not get the job unless they also fit the required gender or race profile. The only concession I would make is my ignorance of International Woman's Day, and that I did not make a more detailed post explaining the backdrop of how I came across this video and why I found it personally valuable.
That yourself and others have made it personal is none of my business. I never saw this coming and I meant no ill will, I can swear on that. My early ambitions in life were to be a lawyer and then a police officer. I ended up working as a bricklayer, which is no hardship I can assure you for someone who needs to expend a lot of energy. My point is that I have always had a very strong sense of justice, even in my formative years. I am actually on the same side as you.
