“Women are allowed freedom to express themselves in their choice of clothing, while men’s options are limited to varying degrees of pants, shirts, jackets, and limited shoe and accessory choices.”

I apologize if thats not worded very well, but my point should be fairly clear. While women have access to everything from skirts to dresses to earrings to corsets, such attire is always given some scrutiny when applied to men. It HAS been lessening in terms of jewelry, but my Mom attempted to keep me from wearing a sparkly silver key around my neck, on the grounds that it would make people make assumptions about me.

Anyways, this was a very informative article, and I wish I’d had it to refer to whenever I tried in vain to express my views on gender-equality. My own experiences with such typically comes from my immediate family. They wish for me to simply conform, so that my life will be easier, even at the expense of going against what I know is right and just.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a rebel. But I strongly abhor arbitrary limitations that stem from tradition and ignorance. Mine was a mind born to ask ‘Why?’

I don’t see what you reiterated in your last post wasn’t the point I was making. Which was the statements made prior to mine implied that sonics were saving money on the deal.

I liked this article, and I think it can be an “eye-opener” to many to see feminist-rhetoric used this way.

In my opinion, most problems during history have been caused by a small, elite group of people. These people too often become greedy and power-hungry and therefore easily misuse their power. We saw it with the communism. I think it is valid also for the feminist movement.

Somebody said in this thread “Real feminism is about gender equality”. Unfortunately, this is not what many of the elite feminists in power show when it comes down to what they really support and do.

julie,i believe everyone has issues and pain in this world,and its easy to blame anyone,but what i have always heard and read and watched on tv as well as books,all issues that i hear is what feminists have to say is all about themselves and what they need to do to become the power in the world,feminism doesnt seem to care about the issues of men at all, it is very easy and plain to see is that feminism just wants all power.anytme men want to speak up for themselves or take up for the male race which would in no way degrade women.feminists take offense anytime men feel like they are right about something.i was at a christian mens conference which is all bout being a better husband and father and to be better people for all.and there was a huge feminist army outside protesting something they knew absolutely nothing about.they didnt even care about educating themselves. i am not saying all are that way,but does seem to be the majority.

Julie:
If you feel that men are similarly victimized by society- and I would say, in some ways (different ways) they are- then open up and talk about it. But don’t slam feminism for being brave enough to open up the discussion about gender inequality.
Oh my goodness why is it that when someone criticizes feminism people try to prop it up like its the one perfect movement in human history? Did feminism start the hatred against men? No. But for a movement that brands itself as the champions of gender equality they really dropped the ball when it comes to helping men. You can’t say that you’re the ones helping men while at the same time willfully ignoring men’s experiences (assuming you aren’t outright down playing them).

I’m all for speaking up for myself. But I’ll be cursed if after all this time I’ve gotten brave enough to do so I’m gonna put up with feminists who want to swoop in and expect me to thank them when when they were slinging some of the very mud I was up against.

…but you can’t really get away from the fact that Western society was structured, for many generations, in a way that thoroughly disempowered women- that put men in a position of control over women.
Was it men that disimpowered women or was it a few elite men at the top that disempowered women? And while you’re thinking about that bear in mind that the vast majority of men were right down at the bottom of the barrel with women.

Julie: if the westen world was anti woman, feminism could even be born.
In history men and women have been victims of oppression, but we only hear the voice of women.

Feminism have also some responsability in this mess, because they only care for women problem, and diminish male suffering and problems.

But you are right on one thing, the debate of gender inquality that’s a discussion that still needs to be taking place.

If this post and your comments is evidence of your beliefs, I am so HAPPY to have finally found proof of intelligent life in the “manosphere.” Thank you SO MUCH for restoring my faith in men. I love men, and I don’t want to subject them to man bashing or shaming language or to make them be subservient to us or to assert that women are morally or intellectually superior simply because we’re women. I linked to this post. I, also, disagree with your assertion that feminism is responsible for misandry. Real feminism is about gender equality; let the intelligent, peaceful discourse begin!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
