Feminism Made Women Violent & Aggressive

[hazelf1]

This was the subject of debate on tv recently what do you think.

My mind tells me this is not true.

In some respects we have cut off our own noses to spite our face.

Yet in other areas we have not gone far enough and injustice and equal rights are still a long way off what they should be.

Feminism in my book made us more aware of our rights (or lack of them) depending on your view, and gave us the tools to stand up for ourselves but aggressive and violent in the main certainly not.

Izzat the name of a new book out or something? I think I'd have to see/read the book/TV show in whatever context they're presenting it in. There's been a steady increase in violent behavior amongst younger-and-younger females here in the States for the past several decades, but i dunno if the feminist movement is to blame.

Women basically had little rights in America before the suffrage movement. I for one am thankful women had the courage to stand up and risk imprisonment (and also forced initialization) in order to secure our rights as an equal member of the human race. 🙂

It's just a damn shame though that it took African Americans until the 1960's to gain equal rights as well. 🙁

And although women and African-Americans have accomplished some amazing things over the last 4 decades, neither group is anywhere near achieving justice. I mean, as long as congressional fuckwads think it's perfectly OK to look for newer and uglier ways of outlawing abortion and as long as prisons continue to house disproportionate numbers of black people, we're no way there yet.

I don't think it is feminism that caused a lot of women to be violent and aggressive.

I think that the media is far more to blame. There are so many shows out that portray women in behaviors that just aren't powerful.

For instance, "The Bad Girl's Club," now, I have female friends who think that this is a good show and shows women in a powerful light because it shows them not taking crap off of each other. I actually think it is disgraceful. It shows them in anger, frivilosity, stupidity, and ignorance. That;s my opinion though.

Then we have so many movies, and television shows, portraying women as submissive, and servile, and sex addicts. This is equally disgraceful, in my opinion.

Now, I wouldn't have so much of a problem with this, if I didn't see the same activities being portrayed all over the place in my own area. As a person who loves women in every facet of their being from the intelligence, to the emotional capacity, I am greatly disappointed at the personalities that are cropping up all over the place.

If feminism had any hand in this, it was in the influence of unstable women, causing them to be violent, and any ideological movement has that effect on people who are unstable in their emotions.

But, feminism is not the root cause of this.

It is the media and the chemicals in the water.

No matter how many rights you have, at the end of the day, life still sucks.

I don't think that feminism made women in general violent and aggressive. Simply because not all women are violent and aggressive. A few are, many are not. They were like this before and after the advent of feminism. Yes, feminism has allowed a much freer avenue of expression for women. A significant percentage of women no longer feel a societal pressure to act a certain way. Society changed. I would say that there is no longer a restricted way that women are meant to act, therefore those with a inclination to be violent and aggressive can totally have at it.

And I will be ready with a slump bat.

Given the right circumstances anyone is capable of violence and life doesn,t suck Mash, life is good, it,s also what you make of it, we all get depressed now and then but to hate everyone and everything because things aren,t going your way right now doesn,t make any sense, your time will come. I was going to ask you to read Desiderata but then again maybe not. Sorry for straying from the topic.

Well, those feminists I personally know are aggressive and advocate very silly positions. Some of them really told me that emancipated women should not wear mini skirts or high heels or shave their legs. Others told me that porn in generally would be against human rights. And some others told me that women who are into bdsm would be mentaly ill, because the patriarchy pushed them in the role of a victim. If I tried to explain them my own position, they were very intolerant und aggressive against me. But I don't know if this is representative to all feminists.

That is consistent with the views of the feminists I encountered in Northern California. They particularly felt that BDSM and power-exchange play were always detrimental to the female participant, even to dommes and tops :huh I consider myself to be an egalitarian rather than a feminist because I support equal opportunity but I do not view females in general as victims of "male aggression."

On an odd side-note, Tura Satana passed away in Reno this week. RIP pussycat. :angelsad2:

I unfortunately grew up with a warped understanding of feminism. I always believed men and women were equal; and since they were equal, it should be okay to hit girls just as it was okay to hit boys. Yeah, needless to say, my understanding needed some modifications early on. :blush Well, turns out they weren't cool with hitting, period, but for some time I found it rather hypocritical that they weren't as strict about it as long as the combatants were of the same gender.

She rocks because she didn't let herself get beat down by the world.

Heh, feminism in that regard is self-defeating, because it makes women the victims of female aggression.

You can't do porn. You can't wear mini-skirts. No BDSM! Why? Susan said so.

Hahaha! Egalatarianism, the most fatal form of ignorance.

If we should all be equal and the same... What would be the point of living? Causes become effects, and effects become causes. If we all have equality, where is your cause and effect? Don't you lose the dynamics and beauty that the current visual universe is founded upon?

I think what val is saying (according to my simplistic mind) is that she treats both men and women without bias in other words with a open mind on a level footing, face value basis, and just wants equality (equal opportunity without bias) to prevail.

She is a bit naughty using big words (egalatarianism not herd in walmart on a daily basis 🙂 🙂 ) because candy is austrian and i'am not overly bright, and very often dizzy, and my english is pure junk.

But thanks for your imput.

GOOD.

Let's turn their fury against some partisan politics believers. The sooner I can see some Fox News pundit get their ass whipped on TV, the sooner I can take three shots in an hour.

The oppressor always represents any kind of self-defence from the oppressed aas aggression. Look at the way in old western films you see the native americans attacking the white people - exactly 180 degrees from the truth. Look at the way gays who want to marry are claimed to be somehow attacking heterosexual marriage. Blaming the victim is a very old tactic, especially in the case of women's oppression.

In this case the behaviours in question are all things that would be uncommented-on where they seen in a straight white male. A man who demands a raise at work is ambitious, a woman is pushy. A man who stands up for his rights is determined, a woman is strident.

Thanks; that's correct.
