The Number One Issue with Feminism

The Number One Issue with Feminism

Guys, (males), do you think it is fair that in the UK, sanitary items are taxed as a luxury item? Do you like the fact that your women have to live in fear of creepy men out there trying to rape them? Do you approve of relationships where the man manipulates, controls, and totally dominates, abuses, and disrespects his wife just because she is a female? Do you think that the little girls you know should have less opportunity in life than men? I don't think many of you do. Now, do you know what the dictionary definition of feminism is?

the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

Pretty straightforward. You guys are feminists for agreeing with me! Let me tell you something else about yourself now, here is a list of other things you must agree with because you are feminists.

1. Gender roles are misogynic

2. All you guys are now evil, HATE YOURSELVES!

3. You guys are all pervs for feeling uncomfortable when a girl wears a revealing dress

4. It is now women's turn to rule the world

5. Don't try being a man, don't be a husband, don't be a dad. Your role is not important to society anymore, get over it.

6. Women should run around naked because they can

7. Male only organisations including male only clergy are bad but it is ok for women only because... well I don't know

8. A woman is weak if she feels the need for a man in her life for emotional, physical, and spiritual relationships.

9. Films that display men as the heroes are politically incorrect

I am tired and cannot recite the whole list, but I am sure many of you do not agree with many of the above statements. But you disagreed with the first list, what are you then? There is not really a term for it. Even so called femi-nazis call themselves feminists.

The problem with feminism is that people have different ideas on what equal is. Don't define yourselves by whether or not you should be equal, define yourselves by what you think equal is!

My sister told me she was a feminist and I was upset and talked with her. She told me what she thought and I totally agreed with her and was happy. She believes in gender roles, she wants to be a mother and stay at home with her kids. In her eyes, it is an honour to raise and nurture the future generations. And to think I had a picture in my head of my sister joining that women's march on Trump and doing all sorts of crazy things. You girls reading, many of you will think that my sister is chauvenistic and demeaning to herself. She does not think so. She believes in women having equal rights, but is she not a feminist? Am I a feminist for thinking that the UK sanitary items tax is wrong?

To women who hate men:

I am really sorry! Sorry that you have had terrible experiences that have destroyed your trust. I hear stories about things that have been done to you and I feel so upset. There are women among us who have been subject to some of the worst treatment ever known to mankind. Reading about their lives can be worse than reading about the WWII concentration camps in Germany and Japan. Many of you have been treated like objects, abused, disrespected, humiliated, etc. If I was in your place, I would probably have the same views as you. But, you can not deny that there are men out there that would treat you the right way. My parents are a wonderful example of a healthy loving relationship. You can argue that men are bad because they get tempted to take advantage of women, you are right, to varying degrees and in different ways men will want to do things that are not good. But then so do women about completely different things. Instead of generalising, why not judge the individual on what they choose to do? It is not what tempts us or our thoughts that define us, it is what we choose to do about them because of our conscience. I am sure many of you have read/watched/know a lot about Twilight. Answer me this question, Are vampires evil? Murdering human beings and drinking their blood is certainly bad. But did all the vampires choose to do that? Look at Carlisle, he not only chose not to do those things, he used his abilities to help humans. Remember what Dumbledore says: it is our choices that define us. Women need to protect themselves from the bad ones and stay with the good ones. Encourage men to become better people and treat you the right way. Make it easier by wearing modest clothing. You may think this entails the thought that it is YOUR fault if the guy rapes you because you wore the revealing dress. It did not help but ultimately, he was the one that chose to do it. There are men out there that do not make good choices and WILL rape women, we all know that. So keep their attention away from you. Your bodies are special works of art that need to be treated with respect. Respect them by keeping them to yourselves and sharing them only with the one that will love you forever.

The world belongs to everyone. As Shakespeare said, the world is a stage and we are all the actors that play our parts upon it. It is our chance to make our story and we have the responsibility to make it the best one we can. We need to work hard to be as accomplished as possible and make the right choices. This is for everyone. Men, women, whatever.

You know what? I have different views on gender roles to many of you guys but does that mean I want to oppress women? I view NOT observing them oppressive, do you women know how valuable you are to society as you raise good children? You may say that women don't really get a say in many things but behind most great men (and women) there was a good mother that brought that child up. I believe that women should get careers, get involved in politics, etc, but I believe that they should remember that being a mother and wife is the best thing they can do. Do what you want but don't put it in front of motherhood. You want to be empowered and you bawl your eyes out at wonder woman for making you feel so? Motherhood is the ultimate role of empowering women. Men should not run around like bungling idiots and leave their responsibility behind, looking after a family the right way, the best he can is the most rewarding and masculine role he can have. That is a real man.

So, am I a feminist? Or am I not? It is your choice but in my opinion, I believe that all people are equal so I am going to call myself a peoplist, I advocate the rights of people.
