are you a feminist?

[chrysostom]

I really do not know that answer. Once I would have said I did know, but realistically, I do not know the minds of others; all that knowing by whatever method, is being presumptuous.

thank you

there are many things a woman cannot do when they are pregnant

No, there are many things a woman *shouldn't* do while she is pregnant. Just like there are many things people shouldn't do around a pregnant woman.

However, you conveniently forget that in the case of most women, they are not pregnant most of their adult lives. It's only a span of nine months.

 

[Rusha]

it has been said by a feminist that women cannot be equal to men
if
they cannot kill their baby
and
this is true
if
you think about it

So *a* feminist said it and that's good enough for you? You were shown information that confirmed there are anti-abortion/prolife feminists and still yet, you utilize intentionally dishonest generalizations.

By your own standard, any Republican or Catholic who has aborted or supports abortion confirms that both advocate baby killing.

Trying to reason with Chrys about this is beginning to remind me of trying to clap with one hand at this point.

 

[chrysostom]

Chrys said you can't be a feminist unless you support abortion.

why would anyone say that they are a pro life feminist?

 

[Rusha]

why would anyone say that they are a pro life feminist?

I didn't. I said I was an anti-abortion feminist. Pay attention.

a double negative is a positive
but
a triple negative is still a negative

It is false that I haven't ever not understood this.

 

[chrysostom]

I may never understand this
and
that is a negative

Feminists are about women's rights. Abortion isn't the only right women have to fight for.

 

[chrysostom]

Feminists are about women's rights. Abortion isn't the only right women have to fight for.

so it is a right that they have to fight for

are you a feminist?

 

[Rusha]

Feminists are about women's rights. Abortion isn't the only right women have to fight for.

However, women giving birth to babies is the only issue Chrys concerns himself with when it comes to women.

Outside of that, we are expendable. I am not saying that as an insult, but rather as an observation of his interaction with others.

 

[staind.raindrop]

Since it is the woman who has to be the one to make the choice to abort the baby, that makes it a women's rights issue because men don't grow babies. It doesn't change the fact that men have influence over the choice, too. You don't even know what a feminist is, why are you asking me if I am one?

why can't you answer the question?

 

[staind.raindrop]

It would be a lie if I said I am one under your definition, and it would be a lie if I said I am not one under the real definition.

 

[Spitfire]

why can't you answer the question?

:doh:

People have varied and conflicting ideas about what constitutes feminism. My "yes" or "no" to you could be correct, somewhat correct, or completely incorrect depending on your own definition. Therefore, it would not be meaningful for me to answer the question until you have established further, more specific parameters.

If you really mean "Do you think of yourself as a feminist?", then you should ask that specific question.

now that is really picky
and
you know they can qualify their answer anyway they see fit

Rusha tried to do that but you won't let her be a feminist because she is anti-abortion.

 

[chrysostom]

and you think I have control over rusha

 

[staind.raindrop]

and you think I have control over rusha

You're the one saying she can't be a feminist.
