Re: What young "feminists don't get"

Deg:

Pretty much everyone is discriminatory to everyone else. This seems to be part of human nature. I'm sure it had a useful purpose at some point.

Are you claiming that when women get together they don't complain about, belittle, disparage and objectify men? Your delusional if you think this way.

And yes, men objectify women. They are attracted to and want to have sex with them. This is not bad unless they actually go out and force themselves on women. The old-guard feminist movement has a lot to answer for in criminalizing sex. The idea that all intercourse is rape and other feminist abominations are the truly sick position.

What "old" feminists like yourself don't see is that the dogma you have held onto so tightly for the last 40 years was either never true or is no longer true. I know, like an old warrior, you don't know how to hang up your sword, and when you're a feminist clipper everything looks like a hangnail, but that doesn't make your version of reality true.

The greatest testament to how far women have come in society is that young women feel empowered to vote for a candidate based on merit and not on gender.
