ORIGINAL: SinergyNstrumpet quote:
Well most times when I heard a woman with a bug up her ass about men, she always followed it up by saying she was a feminist. That is unfortunate that many women used a movement that had many stages to it to justify their bitterness towards men in general, that doesn't make them feminists though. I am sure they did not explore UM issues (including male offspring), human rights in general, and basically a desire for equality for all... including minorities, and fighting for the rights of homosexuals too. Personally I have issues with NOW because of their patriarchial attitude towards women and our sexuality... telling me what is "healthy" for me and what is not. NOW denounces D/s as abuse, except they make no mention of femdom/male sub as being abusive.... so I do know that not all feminist organizations are good, which is why I do not call myself a feminist, but instead a humanitarian. There is a backlash against those who run NOW for using the patriarchial model for telling women how to live our lives, instead of encouraging women to actualize their happiness any way we like. ~Sinergy's strumpet~ And that, from what I hear is the fundamental struggle within the ranks of the feminists. One group says that a woman shouldn't stay home and raise kids because it's a disgrace or whatever. Whereas the other group says that it is a *choice* to stay home and raise their children and that, by its nature is empowering them.
