Feminist heroics

July 24th 2008 04:02
There's a bit of a dust up going on on Deeppencil. I like Morgan Bell, but honestly, Ruby Soho is a pathetic waste of skin and air and her feminist crappola is sickening to real women.

At any rate, the link is here and you can decide for yourselves how wonderful feminism has been for women and for the family unit and for the human race.

It has enabled women to become nothing more than whores (if they choose to be) who sleep around and have no responsibilities... well... except for the fatal diseases they can now freely contract from their multiple partners. It has enabled them to kill their children (wouldn't want the delicate little feminists to be tied down with children, just because they happened to get pregnant, would we?), it has given them the chance to whine and sob when a formerly all-girls school has to go co-ed to survive, while they're turning formerly all-male schools co-ed because they can. It has given them the freedom to do whatever they want with no consequences for their actions and enabled them to destroy their families without good reason (because they want to be free of the drudgery of caring for the hubby and the kids) and want to "party hardy" instead of taking care of their obligations. It has turned them into "pieces of meat" that are fair game for rapists and bullies and killers because they like the "freedom" of the internet and internet dating (not to mention picking up strangers at nightclubs for sex, only to find out he was a little more serious than she was!) And they can exercise their political whims to the limit! They can vote for the sexy, macho guy (like Bill Clinton) or the exciting new guy (like Barack Obama) without giving a rats behind for the damage he can do to the country, as long as she can vote for what pleases her for the moment.

Oh, yeah. Feminism has really done a whole bleeping lot of good for everyone, hasn't it?

hiya S.L.

all I can say is wow.

talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater here.

I normally always respect your opinions and look to you for the rational argument for the the "other side of the coin."



I guess oyu have forgotten about all the women who
1) are not sluts
2) have never had an abortion
3) vote responsibly for those with the best policies
4) dont dress provocatively
5) don't consider themselves "pieces of meat" that men have a right to rape (are you serious)
that are fair game for rapists and bullies

I could go on. But I think you should have more respect for the MAJORITY of women who don"t fit into your boxes.

Respect is hard earned and easily lost, ill take this as an anomaly and move on.

Sorry if you don't like what I have to say, Louie. I have shown no disrespect for you. I do however have total disrespect for women who use the priveleges that "feminism" gave them to behave badly and then cry about the results. You dress like a tramp, you act like a tramp, you sleep around like a tramp... what are you? (Don't get upset, Louie, I didn't mean yiou, personally!) Feminism has degenerated into something awful and women should be objecting like crazy to the very idea that they subscribe to it!

And I'm sure that it's right for a fourteen year old girl with a broken condom accident to have a kid just because her family is too lazy to get her a family doctor, right?

I wish MY mother had had an abortion.

And, you know, we aren't fair game to rapists OR bullies just because of the way we look, act, or dress.

Give some credit to women.

And, of course, no woman would be able to write, either, if we were still in the 'good old days before feminism'.

I read both, I have to agree with you here SL. I think that femenists have gone way too far. They started out with the right ideas... but WHOA! Did they go out of hand!

Abortion is MURDER- Promiscuity (casual sex, etc) makes them nothing more than sluts- and yes, that nastiness is exactly what triggers most homicidal maniacs to hunt them down and kill them like trash... probably because if they act like this, they are.

14 years old and already having sex.... that is not a slut? SL Your point is proven!!! Femenism is horrid if they make this behavior seem justified in any way!!!!! Be a slut, murderer, bitch and never take responsibility for your actions and you too can join the femenist fan club!!!

July 24th 2008 13:59
LOL TimmyH. They never seem to think that they have "gone too far."

Unfortunately, Lester, too many women mistake freedom for license and forget about responsibility altogether, thanks to feminism.

DiannaG, I'm sorry you're so unhappy. But maybe it's because you subscribe to some of the feminist notions (that can make anyone depressed). Your comment really amazes me. Don't you see anything wrong with a 14 year old girl having sex, with or without a condom? While I realize that most rapes have nothing to do with sex, "strutting your stuff" gets the wrong kind of attention, whether you think so or not.

Hello Fello Orbler and Point Proven! Thanks for stopping by. It's good to know that there is still some common sense in the blogisphere! Some people don't seem to realize that there's a difference between having the right to swing your fist (freedom) and punching everyone you pass on the street (license). It never fails to amaze me that feminists are so hung up on their "freedom" that they forget all about consequences...

Are you kidding me? Before feminism gave women equal rights men were free to rape, beat, and torture them. That happens LESS now thanks to feminism. God, do you really hate women so much that you want them to go back to being pieces of meat bought, sold, and owned by men? You really want them to have no say in whether or not they will have sex, get pregnant, have as many kids as their husband decides they will?

Why are even writing this? Shouldn't you be in the kitchen, cleaning the house for your husband and caring for his children? Don't like feminism? Then stop using the privileges it gave you. There are shirts to iron, sandwiches to make, and your husband's cock to suck bitch.

And don't forget lessons in grammer, manners and propriety, Anonymous! You seem to be in dire need of all three.

I have held many jobs that were previously male-dominated. I was never hired because of my gender, but because I was able to do the work. Back through history there have been many women who held "man" type jobs and did them well.( Before the modern version of feminism crawled out from under its rock and crept into the daylight.)

My complaint with what is now called "feminism" is that it doesn't do anything positive for women. It brings them down in ways they don't even understand. Using the term "feminism" seems to give the realities of it a pass. Abortion is a crime against humanity and "feminism" decrees that all women must support it because it makes them "free." Free to sleep around at will (or whim) and avoid the consequences. "Feminism" supposedly gave women their rights. No, it didn't. Women themselves earned their rights and no "movement" made it happen.

So, Anonymous, you don't think women should have children? You don't think they should be allowed to have husbands? You assume that everyone can afford a maid to do the cooking, ironing, cleaning, etc. that are traditionally female responsibilities? Lucky you. Or maybe you don't allow such things to be done in your home, lest someone might think that you are less of a feminist? Must be a really clean and tidy home, right?

It apparently hasn't occured to you that some women love their families and enjoy taking care of the mundane chores that you seem to object to them doing. You gonna come over and do it for them? Or shall we all just live in squallor so that the "feminists" won't be offended?

When did I say I don't think women should have husbands or kids. Typical, warp reality into the lie you want to believe. I happen to have both, of my own choosing. Not because my father gave me to another man and my husband decided he wanted sex I had to obey. The former is thanks to feminism the latter is what you are preaching.

The only one hurting women is you.

You obviously hate someone, Anonymous. I assumed from the sound of your previous tirade that you didn't consider men capable of doing any "woman's work." You did, after all, assume that only women could iron or watch children or make sandwiches... And just FYI, Anonymous, my husband has his jobs and I have mine. Feminism has nothing to do with that, either.

I'm sorry that you're so angry and bitter, Anonymous. Have you considered therapy to work through your problems? Perhaps your pastor could counsel you...?

I am also married and a mother, but not filled with the rage you seem to express. I had two hideous marriages, by the way. Feminism had nothing to do with them. The guys were really good liars so I believed them. Later, I left them because I couldn't stand their ugliness and brutality. No feminism involved, just common sense.

What I keep trying to tell you and you keep shying away from, Anonymous, is that no movement, no abortionist, no political force can make you do what you don't want to. It has nothing to do with feminism. I agree that there are cultures where women are considered property... as a matter of fact, we just freed a country from that philosphy (and our military has nothing to do with feminism, either). My grand daughter is a Marine, not because of feminism, but because she passed the tests and was intent on joining, to build a future for herself while serving her country.

Sleeping around doesn't make you free, Anonymous (feminism would like you to believe it, of course) and killing your children doesn't make you free, either. It destroys something deep inside that neither feminism nor anything else can rebuild. Careers are fine and dandy, but they come and go. A good marriage and kids is something that feminism hates but also something that stay with you forever. Would you really want to be an angry, bitter old lady sitting in a feminist nursing home, waited on by other angry, bitter people? Or would you rather spend your "golden years" delighting in your husband, kids and grandkids?

SL,

I'm a lot more mature than most fourteen year olds and sex is about maturity, not age.

And if you feel like going back to before feminism than I'd be legally married to some extremely old guy with my luck and raped every night.

I DESERVE that, right? Because I'm female?

This disgusts me.

And I'm depressed, kthx, because Daddy died of cancer, and I hate to break it to you, but feminism didn't cause cancer.

Well I'm sorry that my blood boils when I'm called a slut. I think I have a right to get angry and swear on occasion.

And I don't care to sound sweet, because I'm not a sweet innocent little girl without an independent thought.

You lose points for your condescending attitude because of my age and ONE swear word.

I wasn't trying to make "points" with you, Dianna. And I didn't call you a slut. And I didn't know your age. Seems like you aren't quite as "happy and free" as you think, huh? You find personal attacks where none exist. Does that tell you something?

Comment by Dianna G

July 25th 2008 03:18
Somebody actually called me a slut. And I get a lot of personal attacks on a lot of occasions.

Your tone seemed very condescending, for whatever reason, I hate to break it to you. And, to top it all off, you made an attack on my debate skills-I returned the favour, the points wasn't a serious thing, it was a demonstration.

And I never said I was happy. But I am free to make up my own mind.

Is it so wonderful to be free not to be happy, Dianna? Is there anything that pleases you and makes you smile? Did you say that you lost your father to cancer? I'm sorry to hear that. My dad had cancer too. He shot himself, all over the bedroom. It's hard to lose a parent. But it shouldn't take all the joy from your young life. I have grand children your age and they have lots of things to please and delight them. Does anything make you smile?

Comment by Dianna G

July 25th 2008 03:32
I wouldn't be any happier if I wasn't free. I'm BiPolar.

My writing makes me smile. And good books. And I wouldn't be able to do that if not for feminism.

Being free is a great thing-so is happiness. And to have even one of them is a damn good thing.

My friends make me smile. A lot of whom are feminists.

My grandmother? She makes me smile. Because she's a wonderful person. She's a feminist.

So yes, there are things that make me smile. It's just the smiles don't last forever and when they're done, so is the happy for a period of time.

How sad that your understanding of happiness is so limited, Dianna. My grand daughter was happy when she played the violin at church. Now she's happy when training to leave for the US Marines in a few weeks. Important things, worked for and earned things make her the happiest. My grandson is happy when he's swimming or acing a math test. Accomplishments make him smile (he's also a remarkable sculptor!) I'm sorry for you that you see feminism as something pleasant. It's really the shriveled, dried husk of something that once had a little value. Promiscuity and abortion are all that feminism has anymore. Those are two things than can never produce real happiness, just the momentary, fake kind that kill you on the inside.

You're so young to be so sad and so jaded, Dianna. Do you ever go to church? You might find a lasting happiness there.

Comment by Dianna G

July 25th 2008 03:53
SL,

I see freedom as something pleasant. I'm not very promiscuous but I don't look down on those who are-and
in my mind there are times when abortion is right.

My abortion brought with it peace, because I didn't have to deal with the crap that comes with pregnancy. I've decided not to have children-and that's my right.

I've been to church. It isn't for me. I'm vaguely anti Christian.

My spirituality, religion, whatever it is going to be called, provides me with some happiness. But I've been through a lot of suffering, and it's not just about Daddy-but that's a big part of it.

I hate to break it to you, but people have the right to be unhappy. And I do find accomplishments to be happy things, but I don't have very many of them, especially during the summer. Because it's not like we can afford any extracurricular lessons for me, and I'm not really into most of what's taught anyway, and Nanowrimo is in November.

I suffer from mental illness. I can't control my emotions a fair chunk of the time. It's not exactly my fault, thank you very much.

~Dianna

Comment by S.L.

July 25th 2008 04:19
I never said it was entirely your fault, Dianna Are you only fourteen now? And you have already been responsible for the death of your own child? That's an ugly, heavy load, even though you think it made you feel peaceful. One day you may be pregnant with a baby that you actually want and the memories will flood back to haunt you. It happens a lot... I pity you when you understand what you have done.

Being disabled isn't an excuse, Dianna. One of the brightest, most beautiful and good people I have ever known was born deaf. Now there's something to deal with, don't you think? Many people with diabilities have done great things with their lives and not used them as an excuse for behaving badly. Beethoven (ever hear of him) was deaf and wrote magnificent music that is still played today. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was crippled with polio and couldn't walk. He didn't use it as an excuse. He became President of the United States and saw us through a Depression as well as World War 2. Dyslectic people have become presidents and governors and even famous actors. People in wheelchairs have won marathons. Blind people have written books! Helen Keller was both blind and deaf, but she became a famous author. Feminism had nothing to do with it, by the way. Ronny Milsap and Stevie Wonder are both totally blind, but they forgot their diabilities and became famous singers and musicians. James Stacy lost an arm and a leg in an terrible accident and he went on to have a life and make movies after his injuries. Whatever your disability is, Dianna, is it worse thasn theirs? Are you a blind, deaf and dumb quadriplegic, perhaps? Are you confined to a wheelchair for life like Steven Hawking? He's done rather well for himself, all things considered, don't you think? I'm not trying to hurt you, Dianna. But you need to know that a disability isn't everything about you, unless you make it that way. And it isn't an excuse for behaving in an irresponsible fashion. Losing a parent is no excuse, either. Lots of orphans have done very well.

Standing up for what's right and believing in the talents that God gave you can take you a long ways. Spending your life as a "helpless victim" will gain you nothing but misery. You're young enough to have the world before you and be able to build a really good life for yourself. Just knock off the excuses and do something positive instead of wasting what you have and what you are and what you can be on a momentary thrill. Killing more children won't make you happy or productive, Dianna. Feminism isn't the key to your future, either. It only serves to open the door to destruction.

July 25th 2008 04:30
So now depression is irresponsible? Well damn!

If I ever want to keep a kid, it won't matter. I did what was necessary. If I'd had the kid, Children's Aid would've taken it away-I'm not going to go through nine months of morning sickness etc etc and then however long of labour only to not be able to see what I worked for.

I don't believe in God. And I do stand up for what is right, and what I believe in. Doesn't seem to be making me any happier-only more determined. I'm not PLANNING on killing anymore kids, because the idiot that is my mother FINALLY got me on birth control. And I don't hate myself-it's got nothing to do with that, nor does it have anything to do with excuses.

I still work for the things I love, just the accomplishments tend to only really happen every once in a while-for me an 'accomplishment' that makes me happy is FINISHING something, or getting something in exchange for all my hard work.

If I wasn't doing anything positive I wouldn't even be on this site.

I also would like to see how I'm being irresponsible simply because I understand that my depression is beyond my control.

Feminism isn't destroying me. Neither is anything else, really, except my own mind-and the part of it that will destroy me is beyond my control at the moment.

It's the individuals who take feminism and destroy themselves with it, it isn't the movement itself that does the destruction. And women could be plenty self destructive before it came along. Now they're just more open about it.

I feel so very sorry for you, Dianna. God really does love you, in spite of the way you act. He can see that there's a person worth saving somewhere inside of you. Maybe one day you'll see it, too. Depression has plagued many people. Ever hear of Rod Steiger? He dealt with depression for most of his adult life. But he managed to have a rather nice career in spite of it. There are medications for depression, you know. If your mother can afford birth control for you, maybe she can swing some other meds to keep you from needing birth control? Just a thought. Keeping your pants on isn't a crime, you know, Dianna. Promiscuity won't solve your problems, it'll only add to them. What if you get AIDS? Abortion won't make it go away.

Comment by Dianna G

July 25th 2008 05:04
Actually, my mother can't afford it. My grandmother pays for my birth control, because my mother's a useless, jobless, bitch.

I don't think promiscuity is screwing one guy who you dated for eight months, thank you very much. And I don't think not being depressed is going to stop me having sex if I want to.

Abortion won't make AIDS go away, yes, that is true. But I know a lot more than you seem to give me credit for, and I don't have AIDS, and I'm not sleeping with every guy I meet.

I full well know that keeping your pants on isn't a crime. I also know that having sex with someone you love, at any age, isn't a crime.

How sad it is that you never had a childhood, Dianna. To go from little girl to the mother of a dead child is really awful. You can't go back and undo all the damage, but you can do something towards your future. Don't throw your life away for the mistaken notion that sex and love and exactly the same thing. Any guy that has sex with a teenager (especially if he is old enough to know better and understands that she has issues) isn't even worth knowing, much less throwing your life away for. Do you have any dreams or ambitions beyond having sex and bragging about it?

Is there any interest that you have which can be used to help you rather than hurt you? Do you have any education (or are you still in high school)? Please, find a goal that will benefit you in later years, keep your pants on, and make a life for yourself. You have already gone through far too much for such a young age. For your own sake, ditch the phony "feminism" garbage and do something good with your life. There's so much more than sex, abortion and temporary thrills! Feminism has done nothing but harm you. Give God another try. He's always there and loves you in spite of everything. All you have to do is believe and make an effort not to make the same mistakes again.

Comment by Dianna G

July 25th 2008 05:34
You have no clue about ANYTHING, do you? I had a childhood, and my childhood died when I was twelve, it died with my Dad. And sex didn't hurt me, and the guy isn't worthless, he's a pretty damn good person.

If you had any clue who you're talking to, you wouldn't be talking about this stuff, because the only reason I even brought this up is because of the crap you've been saying, and it's ridiculous. I have dreams outside of sex, in fact sex isn't a dream OR an ambition for me, it's something I enjoy, thank you very much, like any adult. In fact, my dream is writing, and like I said, you might care to at least look at somebody's profile before you confuse them for an ambitionless idiot.

Feminism has not harmed me, it's given me freedom; what you're saying is wrong to do at such a young age, I would have been FORCED to do at this age a long time ago. There is more to life than sex and abortion, I'm not stupid, thank you very much. I will never believe in the Christian God because I have my own beliefs outside of that, and seriously, you need to open your mind a bit and accept that other people believe different things.

I never said I'm not doing something good with my life, READ some of my writing, thank you very much, I'm at least trying. You're not giving me any credit as an intelligent human being, if you admit it or not, you're thinking of me as an idiot because I. Had. Sex.

Get over it, I'm not the youngest girl to have done so nor am I the first to have done so at fourteen. And I'm not saying sex=love. I'm saying that if you love a person there's nothing wrong with having sex with them if you feel good and ready.

It's not about age, it's about readiness. And can you list three ways in which feminism has harmed me, considering that years ago I would've been forced to have sex, and now, I can have sex when I'm damn well ready?

And consider the fact that I never plan on having children, and the need for an abortion was MY MOTHER'S FAULT, in case you can't READ, because somehow the address and phone number we got for a family doctor VANISHED before I ever got my hands on it, because my mother is absolutely useless and can't bring herself to do anything more than sit on her ass.

Fine, Dianna. Have it your way. Sex is wonderful because you were "ready". So ready, in fact that you killed your baby because you WEREN'T ready to be a mother. Didn't anyone ever tell you that sex was what caused pregnancy and pregnancy resutls in babies? Feminism did that for you, all right. It made you feel good about killing your own child. It made you feel good about having sex when you were clearly too young to understand the responsibilities that go along with alduthood.

Go ahead and throw your life away if that's what you and your feminist ideals tell you to do. God will still be there when you grow up. I just hope you manage to survive to adulthood. It doesn't sound very promising so far.....

Comment by Dianna G

July 25th 2008 05:46
I know that sex is what causes pregnancy, I knew that a long time ago. I'm not planning on having children. I did understand, and I also knew that what I needed to do in the situation that came up was get rid of it. Because it isn't worth 'throwing my life away' as you say, and now I'm on the needle, which is baby PROOF.

I'm not planning on throwing my life away. Like I said, you need to actually pay attention, because I am trying, unlike what you seem to think, and I'm not an immature idiot. I have dreams and none of them include children. Hate to disappoint you.

And I'm sure you HATE sex, right?

I'm still human, I'm still a person, and I'm a lot more adult than most fourteen year olds, whether you see it or not. Which you don't seem to. But that's okay. Because I don't see how you're so smart, either.

Some day Dianna, you may watch your friends playing with their children and wonder what your dead baby would have been like. Then later when your friends are planning weddings for their daughters, you might feel like you missed something by killing your first child and not having more. Then when your friends show you pictures of their grand kids, you'll feel a little empty place where your baby would have lived. All that "freedom" and "feminism" will have given you is an emptiness that can never be filled. The day will come when you'll understand what I'm telling you. By then it'll probably be too late.....

Because fourteen year olds SHOULD keep babies, right?

Right?

Guess what? I'm prepared to live with mental anguish! I already live with mental anguish every single day! I don't care if I feel empty, it was necessary at the time, and the reason I'm not planning on ever having children, because I never had a real mother. I don't think I'd make a good one, and I'm not prepared to put a human being through this.

You can chalk it up to being 'immature', but it's more about realizing my shortcomings. One of them is my lack of ability to deal with small children because I have a very nasty temper.

Anyway, there was nothing else I could've done, given the circumstances, that makes sense. And saying I don't plan on having children doesn't mean that things can't change.

Quite simply, I've come to understand that some things are not for me. Children happen to be one of those things, and I don't think I'm going to regret it.

If I do, oh well. Everyone regrets something some day.

There was nothing else you could have done, Dianna? How old was the father? Maybe you could have not gotten pregnant to begin with? Maybe 14 year old children shouldn't be having sex?? My oldest daughter thought she was 30 when she was 14. I hope you wind up better than she did. But at least she never killed her babies. She was an habitual runaway because she didn't think she needed to live by any rules. But if her period was a day late, she always came home to make sure her baby would be safe if she was pregnant.

What does the father's age have anything to do with my decision? And maybe you're underestimating fourteen year olds? And treating us like children when actually, fourteen year olds aren't necessarily children?

Because it's about the way your mind works not the age you are physically.

The father's age has nothing to do with it. You know why? Because it's money you need to be able to raise children, and money is something I don't have, and neither did he. You can complain about it all you like, but in the end, like I said, the kid would've gone to Children's Aid.

Because nobody in my family or his could have supported it financially, so the thing would've starved.

Would you rather I have had the kid and had it taken away from me? Or, better yet, let it STARVE?

And I don't think that I need a life without rules.

I did what I had to, sorry that it pisses you off because you have such a great concept of family that you don't seem to understand: my mother can't even afford birth control or pain killers, how the hell do you expect us to be able to raise children?

It's not like I was 2, or stupid, I had sex with a guy I went out with for eight months, we used condoms, and once, one broke. Guess what? I have bad luck. It knocked some sense into my relatives so they finally got me on the needle.

Sometimes shit like this happens. Get the hell over it.

I'm going to bed now Dianna. I'm not the one who needs to "get over" anything. You think your baby is better off dead and that's something you have to deal with. I feel so sorry for anyone who thinks they're so "grown up" and can make such horrific mistakes under the guise of "freedom" and "feminism". I truly pity you and even more the child you killed. I hope and pray that you'll turn to God some day and do things differently. What a sad, lost child you are.....

Oh man. You are so blind.

It's better to let them live in misery and pain, than it is to destroy them.

In my mind it's not really murder until the kid is able to survive outside of the womb.

Go to bed. I hope you have nightmares about being raped by creepy old men, because, clearly, in your mind, that's what women deserve.

S.L. I have an honest question for you.

What are your thoughts on freedom in general? I take it that you consider yourself a proud American, but I so often see you speaking with such disdain for the freedoms that America guarantees. Please take this question outside the context of Abortion, because it is clear how you feel about that, and you are entitled to your opinion. But, what of the freedoms that have been gained by women in America? Whether or not you agree with the choices that some people make, will you defend their right to make those decisions?

Just curious, because it seems to me that those who seem to scream the most loudly about being proud to be an American seem to be the first to condemn those who would exercise the freedom that America provides.

SL I'm deeply disturbed that you, of all people, would praise anyone that made the comment:

Abortion is MURDER- Promiscuity (casual sex, etc) makes them nothing more than sluts- and yes, that nastiness is exactly what triggers most homicidal maniacs to hunt them down and kill them like trash... probably because if they act like this, they are.

If I'm to understand correctly from a comment you made on someone else's post that your sister was raped and your own daughter raped and murdered. How could you possibly support a comment like that?

Some of your comments on the feminism post that began this were extraordinarily over the top and I even though I support your right to have any view you choose on the topic of abortion, generalising about all unmarried women as whores, disease carriers and murderers was inexcusable. I thought that was the most offensive thing I had read until I read the above comment...and the fact that you supported it. Either you have a ridiculous set of double standards or the stories of what happened to your family are fabricated. And, I choose to believe nobody would do anything that abhorrent.

Please tell me you don't blame your sister or daughter in any way for the vicious crimes perpetrated against them! Nobody, whether they are an innocent child, vestal virgin, or prostitute deserves to be the victim of violent crime.

I am stunned beyond belief.

Cheryl,

I'm thinking that, as much as SL goes on about people 'starting controversy', she enjoys stirring shit up as much as the people she complains about.

Not saying it's her whole reason for being... sexist is the only word to describe it as, and in disgusting ways, but I'll bet that's part of why she posted.

For attention.

Well, she got it-most of it bad.

I'm not sure where this all got started, Cheryl and Natalie. My opinions have always been pretty clear and consistant. The main thing that feminism has "done for" women is allowing them to kill their children. Sorry if you think I keep repeating myself by bring abortion into it, but since it's the main part, it's hard to ignore.

Women voting is another "gift" of early feminism. Ann Coulter has a point about the changes that happened when women started voting. Most of those changes were not for the better.

As I've pointed out before, all through history women have been able to "step up to the plate" when necessary and do traditionally male jobs. World War 2 had more to do with women in the workforce than feminism did.

The biggest surge of feminism was the 1960's. The birth control pill was invented and the feminists of the day thought it meant that they could have sex as much, as often and with as many people as the wanted. They turned "freedom" into license. When abortion was legalized in the early 70's, it only got worse.

Feminism has been, at best, a double-edged sword that made some lasting changes in society. Most of the changes have to do with sex and have brought down the moral fiber of society.

I am not advocating that we all live under Shariah Law, by any means. But the steady whittling away of religion in favor of "feminism", the abdication of responsibilities in favor of entertainment, and the societal ills (many of which were caused by liberalism and feminism) are very disturbing.

Does that answer your questions, ladies?

There's nothing wrong with Atheism...

But religion's a whole other debate, not feminism.

SL,

There really is no need to pick on a 14 year old girl. You've shown really bad form here.

Do you think you could choose your words a little better?

She's 14. She's had an abortion. She has an absent mother. That's a lot for a 14 year old. But she does have a brain in her head.

If you really gave a damn about her, you'd be a little more sympathetic.

Would you really get rid of feminism if you could? That includes getting rid of:-
the right to vote
the right to get equal pay for equal work
making sex discrimination illegal
making rape, esp within marriages, illegal
the right to own land
the right to bank accounts
access to education
the right to enter a public bar
the right to travel without a chaperone
entitlements in a divorce

Do you hate feminism so much that you would sacrifice all of the above and more?

Love & stuff
Mrs M

Hello Mrs. M. I wasn't calling Dianna names. She thinks she's grown up enough to have sex and kill her baby at the ripe old age of 14. Don't you find that disturbing? If you had read the majority of my conversations with her, you'd know that I do care about her and feel very sorry for her.

There are some aspects of "feminism" that had benefits. It has since degenerated into a "free sex, abortion, and ugliness" that should not be getting the popular approval some people seem to feel for it.
