Feminism: It's Not About Equality

A problem with "feminism" is that too many young girls are placing the label on themselves without knowing what it is really all about. They state, quite logically, that they want "equality" and "respect"-- but equality and respect are as far from "the feminist agenda" as any concepts could possibly be.

As a child, I became irate when visiting my aunt's workplace, where most of the employees were male-- a large poster on one wall with the information on what minimum wage was for men, and what minimum wage was for women; at the time, it was perfectly legal for female employees to receive a significantly-lower salary than the male employees. The insistence to change facts such as this constituted "equality"-- women deserved the same pay rate, and the same chance at jobs.

That was where the concept of equality and respect ended-- when women began to be granted the same legal stand in employment and other areas as men had, what had been a quest for equal rights and respect was sidelined with the upsurge of "the feminist movement." Feminists do not want "equal rights," "equal respect," "equal" anything-- instead, to shift the focus off equality and have the upper-hand.

Feminists are essentially the gender-opposite equivalent of misogynists-- each feels it has and should have a higher standing and more power than the other; each has a very strongly expressed belief that the opposite gender has its "place;" and each feels that the way to attain the power they truly believe they deserve is to oppress the other.

No different than misogynists who feel that women are second-class citizens, feminists believe men are the second-class. While misogynists may use an arsenal of usually-clear tactics to prove their point-- bullying, Bible mis-quoting, various forms of abuse-- feminists are no less innocent in their own tactics designed to promote their "superiority." One need only read some of their literature to see exactly where they're coming from-- "how to use your sexuality to manipulate men" is a nauseating put popular viewpoint of women (or, as they would say, "womyn") who find nothing unethical in the idea "use what you've got to get what you want." If one has the misfortune of having to deal with these types, one may hear such propaganda as "Don't you think women should be treated like human beings?!" while it would be considered common sense to conclude that such "demanded respect" is not valid.

The feminist agenda makes it clear where they stand: that men are to be used, and then laughed at for falling into the female's manipulations. Feminists proport that males are just naturally stupider than women-- does that sound like "equality" or "respect"?

You may also be able to locate a copy of a book which is frequently referred to as "the Feminist's Bible;" in declaring that it is "in praise of difficult women," what isn't "difficult" to see is the off-balance of power which is the basis of feminism. Taking on the title of the book, feminists, and girls who are not familiar enough as to what feminism is really all about, label themselves "B-tch"-- as if it were some kind of label of pride. Is this really something for young girls to aspire to?
