Feminism lost its meaning along the way!...
If I was an adult in the 60's I would have fought for women's rights because it made sense then and it was a just cause with a well defined meaning!
But now, what exactly are you fighting for?
... It's all garbage!!!
Nothing is stopping any woman from doing anything she wants to do now! So, what are you actually fighting for?

Im interested in this question

Hhahahaha. Again, you just showed us another side of your ignorance. the 60s feminism is actually the most hated of all feminism today!
today's feminists are very mild by comparison.
ever heard of gloria steinem? they were fighting for women's rights in the HOME. what more way can u piss men off!!! men who feel that the home is the place they have control over.
of course the first wave feminists of the beginning of the 20th century were also morbidly hated in their time.

I love how people start to talk nostalgically about things that have passed. yet when similar things are going on right under their nose, they pretend not to see it. rubbish.

I find it interesting how you completely avoided her rational response only to hurl insults at her. If this is the new feminism then i'm not surprised reasonable women like her avoid it like the plague.

Im interested in this question

feminism is an ideology.
there isn't currently any feminist wave at the moment. u don't see women going out in the streets fighting for rights.
although they are doing so and taking one case at a time

here is an example:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/26/texas-abortion-bill_n_3501005.html

same way you have anti-racists. but there isn't any black civil rights movement going on at the moment. which is not equal to say that an anti-racist ideology doesn't exist.

unless you don't know what ideology means and need me to explain that to you?

davidylan:

That is a fact that majority of them come from broken homes. You can bury your head in the sand all you want.

Why do you call me a misogynist? I suppose others are not allowed to have an opinion other than yours?

From reading your post you are a sad misogynist.

@99cent and Miscellaneous. You guys are showoffs. Most definitely you're one and the same person. I bet you just knew the meaning of misogynist and you both decided to use this against your rivals as a way to prove about your ''intelligence''. And you call yourselves educated... Pathetic!
Re: We Should All Be Feminists- Chimamanda Adichie by Miscellanous: 1:22am On Jun 30, 2013
davidylan:

I dont get your point. This is mine in a nutshell:

1. A 2-parent household in black communities is possible, i see them ALL the time.

2. Black single mothers are only "disadvantaged in society" BECAUSE they choose to. If you have a baby at 15 and end up dropping out of high school please blame yourself and not society. The same society you think puts you at a disadvantage is the only reason you can even survive with that child... you know our taxes and all.

3. single mothers who CANNOT financially support their kids should head to the nearest adoption center. It is SELFISH to keep a child you know you cannot provide a decent chance at life.



4. If you want to get married you will find someone... except of course you are more interested in ephemeral attributes like "swag", light skin and all...

5. Calling others names just because they dont agree with you makes you sound very immature.

Are you a human being at all?It tells of your inferiority complex.Take the log of wood out in your eyes about name calling before you take out the peck from the eyes of others.oloshi buruku

stop making senseless stuff up and posting randomly like a fool.
enough of your insults and accusations.
also, stop embarrassing yourself. are you done preparing the list of 1000 female CEOs and Presidents that you mentioned earlier were ruling the world?? the feminist Illuminati that you talk about? where is the list? I am still waiting.

I just have one question for the men on this thread saying they believe ingender equality.

Can a woman lead a home? Do you believe that women can assume positions of leadership over their husbands in the home?

Thanks for answering. Please try to base your answer on logical arguments and not religious scriptures.

well, maybe you need to also not hurl insults yourself. your first post toward me was "lonely feminist. get a dog!!"
if that's not an insult I don't know what is.
maybe u should go and grow thick skin if you cannot stand to be rebuffed because I have not even insulted you once! now what if I insult you the way you insult me, will u start crying?
pls grow up!!

of course you don't have the same mentality as me. that's why this topic is a way to DEBATE. if you can't support your arguments then don't post it. I see holes in the arguments you make and I point them out. if you take that as an insult, then maybe you should not be here in the first place. I will not exchange insult with you. that's for sure.

also, if you are not sure if what I said is insultive, check google and do a search. ex the "trojan horse" metaphor that you took ignorantly as an insult. your friends have been defending you quite well so far, so might as well, just sit back and let them do the posting when you get back to coding.

Wow, Ijoan, you are reaalllyyy trending on this thread. The guys just love you smiley

I would like for you to also answer my last question.

And while you're at it, tell me whether you are going to bear your husband's name after marriage or whether he is going to bear your own name. Please give reasons for your answers. Thanks.
