Re: What the hell is feminism?

You see, this is exactly the problem with feminism.

"For the most part white men ARE responsible for all those things (and other good things too). It was/is (mostly) white men that suppress(ed) women in the work force etc. You're trying to prove some point, but I'm not seeing it." - DoctorJ

"White men" havn't done anything to women that every other race of men on the planet hasn't already done... except maybe fight for women rights. If you want to see women with the greatest freedoms and privileges human societies have to offer, a quick short-cut is to go where ever lots of white men live. Try to keep your racial bias in check - the sexism is ugly enough on its own.

Of course, this all presupposes that women have been unusually "suppressed" at all (gender roles have taken victims and doled out privilege across the spectrum). While women were barred from universities and inheritance, they were also barred from debtor's prison and battlefields. And certainly, this gender division was supported by women as much as men, so really, why a special blame for men? Why indeed.

That brings us to modern-day North America where males are the only gender that suffers discrimination before the law - and frequently so. Men fill prisons and soup kitchens in numbers so much greater than woman that it makes the divide between whites and blacks look inconsequential.

"Feminism" means that one favours political policy that holds women over men as much as it demands one presupposes (though errantly concludes might be more appropriate) that injustice along lines of gender only affects women, has only ever affected women, and isn't it really women that matter anyway?

Let's just call it the sexism of the left. As the hatred of white people is the racism of the left.
