are you a feminist?

[chrysostom]

are you a feminist?

no one here wants to say they are a feminist
but
they don't want to say they are not a feminist

bybee and spitfire are not timid at all
but
both were very reluctant to say whether or not they were a feminist
and
it took repeated requests to get them to say they weren't
so
what is the deal here?
why is this such a difficult label?
is there some kind of intimidation going on?

You ask this question as if you would actually *read* the answer ...

Intimidation nah. It's more about refusing to deal with your willful misrepresentation.

Are you a masculist?

 

[Rusha]

Are you a masculist?

He has little regard for women or children in general.

 

[annabenedetti]

I am a strong and feminine woman.

 

[Rusha]

I am a strong and feminine woman.

As am I ... however, any woman who stands up for herself and children and does not see herself defined by a man, is, by the wacko standards of Chrys, a feminist.

I appreciate men who aren't afraid of strong women.

Define your term(s)...:e4e:

 

[Rusha]

As do I. It says a lot about their character when they view independent, strong women as a threat.

 

[chrysostom]

as you can see
they don't want to answer this question
they don't want you to ask this question

why?

 

[Rusha]

It's a stupid question ... right up there with are you a misogynist ...

 

[annabenedetti]

as you can see
they don't want to answer this question
they don't want you to ask this question

why?

Who is "they?"

 

[chrysostom]

Who is "they?"

you

why don't you answer the question?

 

[annabenedetti]

you

why don't you answer the question?

Then why didn't you address your comment to me? Why did you distance yourself by referring to me as "they" while you presumed to speak for me?

 

[chrysostom]

Then why didn't you address your comment to me? Why did you distance yourself by referring to me as "they?"

you are not the only one

 

[Rusha]

you

why don't you answer the question?

Perhaps it has to do with both the stupidity and motive behind asking the question.

The easiest and laziest form of debate just recently by a few individuals (yourself included) is to strut out a label and try to demonize anyone for simply disagreeing with you.

Do you even understand how babies are made, Chrys? I ask because you seem really dense in regards to women having children and how they get pregnant in general. I believe it is intentional because you know your views are not rational or honest.

 

[annabenedetti]

you are not the only one

You presumed to speak for me and other women by saying we don't want you to ask the question (I don't care if you ask it or not) and that we don't want to answer it (you've been asked by WoO to define your terms) when you haven't specified what's your definition of a feminist. I'm not going to agree or disagree with a definition that is, at this point, unknown.

 

[bybee]

as you can see
they don't want to answer this question
they don't want you to ask this question

why?

Because you are a dumb cluck strutting around the chicken coop trying to make sure all of the hens are behaving properly. K:
You may pontificate and pose all the questions causing you such bewilderment and distress that you want.
It doesn't mean that anyone need take your clucking seriously or provide you with answers!
