Just out of curious, how was your husband keeping his own household together before you got married? Was he just swimming in his own filth and starving, because h couldn’t figure out groceries?

Right on! I knew this when I was 8 and I had not even heard of the word feminism. Isn’t that scary?
I realize I am still an extreme example in this, but the dynamics between men and women had me deciding from a very young age that I wanted no part of it. What I learned as an adult only confirmed my suspicion that it is better to remain single and have no children if you are a woman. I hear more women talk like this…
Ugh, I hate food courts. They remind me too much of school cafeterias. They are loud, tables are too close together and often dirty. It’s not fun to sit there. There are way too many people. If I am with a group of friends, we preferer to find a quiet restaurant. If I am by myself, I don’t even bother.
Not bloody likely. Many people will happily march and protest, but forget there are such things as elections:
No one said that? I can’t even count the many times I’ve been told I have “cis” (whatever that means) privilege. So what is this privilege then? Being thought off as pretty? I’m fat, so I am not. Also a pretty/sexy woman in a room full of men has the same amount of power as squirrel in a room full of Rottweilers. It’s…
I fully agree with your argument. Acceptance and being able to live alongside each other is the cause. I personally think that gender is the obstacle to said cause. I think we can acknowledge the biological reality of the sexes and the way sex is different from gender without harming anyone.
I do think that the focus…
No, many couples decide that the person who makes the least amount of money is the person who stays home. From a financial standpoint, this makes sense. However, because we still have a pay-gap this means that 9 out of 10 times a woman will stay home as “mutually” agreed upon by the couple. The pay-gap practically…
True. It does not define us. However, the reality of our biology does impact our lives and for some this impact is greater than for others and each person experiences it in a different way. We need to be able to talk about this.
I don’t think you can answer the question of what it “feels” like to be a woman whether you are one or not. Because if you claim you can answer that you are by extention claiming you can speak for all women and no one can do that.
I only know what it feels like to be me.
“Cultural fit” is usually code for white, straight man who is able to be a good drinking companion and capable of making women, gay people and any other marginalized group the butt end of his jokes, or at least be able to laugh at said jokes.
Such companies should be a hard pass for anyone looking for a diverse and…
Well, that settles it. I wasn’t planning on visiting the U.S. again anytime soon. Now I’ll make sure I will stay out, which is what they want I guess so mission accomplished.
So are you saying that in order to get treated fairly women should just stop having children?
Because in a way this is already happening. The birthrate in a lot of western nations is dropping, because women are sick and tired of being both a fulltime employee and a fulltime parent and often having to clean up after…
Or those telling women what it privilege it is, because we can just get men to fall in love with us and marry us so we can become unpaid housekeepers. Oh, wait, these days married women will have to maintain at least a parttime job to pay the entry fee to be part of a married household. Sigh, we can never win.
And they still made the women wear skimpy outfits, ridiculously elaborate hairdos and tons of make-up.
I appreciate your sarcasm. But that is what it’s like to grow up as a woman. What wonderful privilege, isn’t it, to be treated like a second class citizen just because you’re able to give birth to the next generation? If I were a man I’d be jealous of me too.
I got bullied. For 8 years straight in three different schools. They had many exucses for always yelling at me and laughing at me and hitting me and breaking my things and spitting on me, but “not being feminine enough” was one of the many excuses the boys in my class used to treat me like shit.
I am not trying to put…
Radical feminism has never been on board with most of the trans-rhetoric. And liberal feminists, with their watered-down, pro-porn, pro-prostitution, cater-to-the-male-gaze feminism have never understood that. Also “cis” is a slur, because the ideal of femininity is an unattainable, photo-shopped ideal. No one…
Intersex is a chromosomal anomaly, which often comes with medical issues. Also most intersex people are not exactly thrilled to be used as part of this non-debate, so let’s leave them out of this.
Legitimate scientific research has been unable to proof that there are such a thing as a male brains or a female brain.…
You cheapen the discourse by using the term “TERF.” Radical feminists have always been critical of gender. We see it as the main tool the patriarchy uses to keep women down. Therefore the ideal world of trans-activists and radical feminists are fundamentally opposed and I don’t think we’ll ever see eye-to-eye on this.…
