are you a feminist?

[glorydaz]

yep, i do know. sorry :chuckle:

No you don't. Any man who thinks he knows what a woman means....especially one he has never met or lived with is a fool in need of exposure.

You want to reverse the roles to some degree, or all the way.

That's too vague. You'll have to be more specific.

That is what a feminist is. That is what you are. You said you would like to see a woman President. If that is true, you are a feminist. I don't know how far you go, such as being a dyke or something nasty, but that is not the impression I got from you. Hence, my not knowing how much of a feminist you are willing to be.

Being the president is working, and you said you have no issue with women working, so does that make you a feminist too?

As for reversing roles, what roles in particular, and how are they reversed? Maybe you can give some examples.

And lastly no, you don't know how much of a feminist I am, and neither does chrys, and it's because we have differing ideas about what being a feminist means. It seems that you equate feminists with being "a dyke or something nasty," so you likely agree with the term feminazi, and think all feminists hate men and/or motherhood. I'd say you don't understand the strides women have made to overcome the societal stranglehold that men had on them, because you accept as normal the hard-fought advancements women have today that were won on their behalf by the women who came before them.

I don't care what you call yourself
women support the democratic party
the democratic party supports abortion
abortion kills babies
it is that simple

 

[annabenedetti]

I don't care what you call yourself

Then why did you ask the question?

are you a feminist?

women support the democratic party
the democratic party supports abortion
abortion kills babies
it is that simple

If it's that simple, then why do you say I'm a feminist when I'm not pro-abortion and I'm not a Democrat?

The issue of feminism is much more complex than that.

 

[I drank what?]

not my job to define terms
I use a dictionary
why don't you?

au contraire

it is your job to define terms that you wish to discuss, if you rely on the dictionary your conversations are going to be very limited

it's a nice place to start, but it lacks any real substance

fem·i·nism
ˈfeməˌnizəm/Submit
noun
the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.
synonyms: the women's movement, the feminist movement, women's liberation, female emancipation, women's rights; informalwomen's lib
"a longtime advocate of feminism"

"political, social and economic" are broad terms (pun intended) that are frequently mishandled

not to mention the very bizarre term "equality" that is tossed around as if math or logic has anything to do with it...

is blue equal to pink? after all they are both colors...

am I a feminist? almost

women should have an equal footing in most political, social and economic situations, we'd have to discuss all the minutia in order to properly cover those terms

am I a "feminist" is the sense that it is used in today's culture? nope, i'm not interested in taking the side of illogical feminazi's just to gain (white knight) street cred with them.

is anyone using this term (feminism) properly? mostly not

 

[chrysostom]

far too many women are intimidated by the feminists
this thread is proof how reluctant they are to adopt or criticize the feminist concept
they don't want to admit that the feminists are keeping abortion legal
they don't want to admit that abortion is necessary for them to be equal
they want the others to do all the dirty work while they remain silent
no one can call them a baby killer as long as they remain silent

 

[I drank what?]

focus lad, focus

is the topic feminism or abortion?

those are not equal terms

pro-murder =/= feminist

likewise

"feminazism" =/= feminist

though I can see why you feel compelled to misuse the term the way it is (mis)used these days, if you can't beat 'em join 'em?

 

[I drank what?]

Are you a masculist?

almost

He has little regard for women or children in general.

so then a masculist is a person who disregards women and children???

i'm so confused

i miss the days when words had meaning...

The word masculist didn't come from any of my posts.

 

[I drank what?]

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

it's not a stupid question, especially if the answer is yes

The word masculist didn't come from any of my posts.

you quoted:

Are you a masculist?

i assumed you were responding to that post, perhaps i misunderstood

do you often quote people that you are not responding to?

 

[Rusha]

it's not a stupid question, especially if the answer is yes

you quoted:

Look again. I am not Shagster01. The word *masculist* is not one that I brought into the conversation.

[Rusha]

Not hardly ...

this thread is proof how reluctant they are to adopt or criticize the feminist concept

Nope, it's proof that women are unwilling to allow someone such as yourself to use references that are inaccurate and deceitful in regards to what they support.

they don't want to admit that the feminists are keeping abortion legal
they don't want to admit that abortion is necessary for them to be equal

Chrys, do you understand how babies are created? It takes BOTH genders to create a life. Why aren't you squawking at both genders? MANY men are pro-abortion.

they want the others to do all the dirty work while they remain silent no one can call them a baby killer as long as they remain silent

When is the last time you took issue with a Republican candidate for being pro-abortion?

 

[I drank what?]

Look again. I am not Shagster01. The word *masculist* is not one that I brought into the conversation.

i see, thnx for your time

No, you're just that simple.

[chrysostom]

focus lad, focus

those are not equal terms

they are
if
you can connect the dots
and
that is my job

do you have one?

 

[chrysostom]

No, you're just that simple.

lain:

so what is your job?

 

[annabenedetti]

so what is your job?

He does a fine job of pointing out your inconsistencies.

 

[annabenedetti]

I really wonder how well you know women.

this thread is proof how reluctant they are to adopt or criticize the feminist concept

This thread is proof of how reluctant you are to define your term.

they don't want to admit that the feminists are keeping abortion legal

Because no men had a hand in that ever.

they don't want to admit that abortion is necessary for them to be equal
they want the others to do all the dirty work while they remain silent
no one can call them a baby killer as long as they remain silent

I haven't had an abortion. I've always been prolife. Now what?

 

[Yorzhik]

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

Define your terms please. What is a strong woman?

Please note, men are stronger than women as Planet Fitness found out.
