Absurd! There was another person who thought feminism to be counter to the
interests of the nation and urged women to forget equality, education, jobs,
political and economic rights, and just stay home and have lots of children ...
of course, they were to have boy children to become soldiers of Das Dritte
Reich! Many of the husbands and boyfriends of those boy factories were later
killed as they followed their Fuehrer's orders into the Soviet Union where
they were slaughtered by the Soviet girls of the Red Army after they did their
own slaughtering.

Women still make 77 cents to every dollar a man earns. Until women get to fully
participate in "personism", feminism will still be an important word.

Reality is that women choose back office jobs that do not pay the level of jobs
that men will vie for. Women don't want the risk, the stress, the
commitment or the work load. I watched this my whole career as an exectuve
woman who was willing to pay the high price that men pay for the high paying
jobs. I hired men and women and I saw the difference. I consider the
difference to be ingrained natural gender differences.

One of the 14 Points of Fascism is:
Beyond the simple fact that the political elite and the national culture were male-dominated, these regimes inevitably viewed women as second-class citizens. They were adamantly anti-abortion and also homophobic. These attitudes were usually codified in Draconian laws that enjoyed strong support by the orthodox religion of the country, thus lending the regime cover for its abuses.

The fact is, as with every other attempt made here to achieve
"equality", all we have done is to create a new inequality, another
wrong that does not make a right.
Now more females are in American universities than males, a statistic contrived at rather than naturally achieved. The same old "positive discrimination" and social engineering. Court decisions in domestic disputes, divorces, child custody stack the cards against men. No wonder it is women who file for divorce nowadays.
Meanwhile children suffer, there are more one-parent families, more, and more serious, juvenile delinquency. Oh well done "Liberalism"!

Sexual narcissism is more accurate today. English evolves toward

Good movement evolve from promoting change to maintenance of the status quo. To MAD the drinking problem will never be solved, only redefined. The NRA will invent threats against gun ownership. The aristocracy must be keep in luxury. If you made #250k on the war on drugs you really don't wish for a solution putting you on the street.
Feminist are faced, today with the same quandary. The majority of people in universities are women, there are more women employed than men and women spend 70% of the money that goes into consumption.
I recall the uproar when women had fewer seats in universities. There were demands for studies. There were demands for classes and woman reinvent.
When the gender discrepancy is against men women are silent. Was gender quality ever really the noble goal of feminist? Not really.
When, you are the one profiting by the current situation you are invested in no change. Equally is just a word.

The Steinhem standard says that it is OK for a male boss to proposition a female
underling as long as he accepts no for an answer.
The 'Steinhem' in the Steinhem standard is no other than Gloria Steinhem the founder of Ms. magazine. She was defending Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
There is no use for the word feminist, because the so-called 'feminists' abandoned the idea years ago. There are groups that do promote the welfare of women, but they don't even refer to themselves as feminists.

When men live longer than women they will rule the ballot box. As it is there
are more women than men in the population and American women are more liberal

egalitarian, form of feminism.

I agree with the commentator except that the commentator speaks of:
“freedom to believe, speak and act as long as we do not infringe on
others”. Reality is, there is no way to speak or act without infringing
on others. Our words or actions inevitably affect those around us. If a person
wants to direct their children in one direction, and your words or actions
influence them in another direction, you have infringed on that person. In
America, we have freedom to believe, speak and act regardless of infringement on
others. Others however, have the right to reject and repel our words and
actions.
What liberals do get | 1:20 p.m. Nov. 2, 2009
I spent many years in one of the Master’s programs at the University of
Utah watching the school overlook dozens of talented men in order to give out
scholarships to the few below-average female students in the class. It was
because we ‘need’ more females in my industry. It isn’t about
fairness. Not in the slightest. It is not about looking beyond a
person’s gender or race. It is all about reorganized society to match
some pointless liberal ideal. It is about the liberal’s dream to feel
good about themselves without doing anything good themselves. If you
can’t feel good about the way you live your life, the liberal tries to get
the government to do things that make them feel good.
Feminism is just gender selfishness. Selfishness never makes the world the better place.

What conservatives don't get is woman produced more food by gathering than
men never did through hunting.
Women developed agriculture.
Pound for pound, woman are stronger than men.
Women can endure more pain.
In America, today, women are better educated as a group.
Women are less apt to engage in dangerous or destructive behavior.
Humanity can still survive after losing 95% of its men.
Conservatism is a religion and as nothing to do with facts.
I bet, women run men in America more often than men run women. "If mom isn't happy....no no is happy.
Women even stopped a war by refusing to have sex with their men.

The women I know completed their master's degree in only TWO years - not "many years."

I think your idyllic world would be great colleen the problem is that to many
people do not see women as equal persons and this carries through to the way
women are treated in the culture as well as the world of work. I hope someday
the word feminism does become obsolete and we can treat all people equally
without regard to race or color but unfortunately just wishing the disparities
away is not going to work.

Conservatives are trying to get it through all the thick skulls out there that we should not be giving special privledges to one group over another. By all means, pay equal pay for equal work. Just don't do as the liberals want us to do - pay equal pay regardless of the equality of the work.

Feminism will evolve into newer forms. There still remains inequality of pay and
inequality of promotions. Try taking away Roe vs. Wade, and you'll see
feminism rebound in the blink of an eye, and it will be harsher and angrier
feminism than those women in the 70's.
Goddess v Patriarchy | 3:51 p.m. Nov. 2, 2009
The world will never find peace and progress until men fall at their
women's feet and beg forgiveness.
Before poisonous patriarchal systems took hold, societies were largely matriarchal. Goddess worship, agrarian cultures and general peace was prominent.
Then the warring ideology took over almost overnight and it's been wreaking death and destruction ever since.

Your attempt to be offensive just exposes your ignorance. Conservatives merely

about it. If that makes them “clock-stoppers” in your narrow point
of view, then the world frankly has no use for your point of view.
My Masters was a three year program and I only went to school half time so I could provide for my family. But I enjoyed your demonstration of typical liberal tactics - If you can’t disprove the argument, slander the person arguing.
Had I been at the school only 2 years, I wouldn’t have noticed that every single woman that showed up in the program, regardless of her abilities, received a scholarship. But don’t let my observations of reality persuade you. You're way to smart for that.
It's not about me - part-time students aren’t eligible for scholarships. I have no idea what you mean by “neocon” other than you obviously hope it offended me. I have no hatred whatsoever for women. The “poisonous patriarchy” alliteration you're so proud of merely exposed your prejudice and rendered you unworthy of respect.

Patriarchy is evil | 5:12 p.m. Nov. 2, 2009
Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique (1963) criticized the idea that women could only find fulfillment through childrearing and homemaking. According to Friedan's obituary in the The New York Times, The Feminine Mystique “ignited the contemporary women's movement in 1963 and as a result permanently transformed the social fabric of the United States and countries around the world” and “is widely regarded as one of the most influential nonfiction books of the 20th century." In the book Friedan hypothesizes that women are victims of a false belief system that requires them to find identity and meaning in their lives through their husbands and children. Such a system causes women to completely lose their identity in that of their family. Friedan specifically locates this system among post-World War II middle-class suburban communities. At the same time, America's post-war economic boom had led to the development of new technologies that were supposed to make household work less difficult, but that often had the result of making women's work less meaningful and valuable.

And it entirely misses the point.
People honor and appreciate other people who make big sacrifices for the sake of others — whether that be soldiers at war, people who MUST slave away at work day after day to provide for their families, Christ who gave everything for our sake, or women who place their children and family above their own selfish desire for 'fulfillment'.
I don’t care what women choose to do with their lives. It is their choice.
But people will always reserve their praise only for those who make sacrifices for the sake of others. There is nothing wrong with a woman who seeks ‘fulfillment’ instead of the joys of raising a family. But they have their reward. Don’t expect any praise from God or the rest of us. Even the lowest of creatures can seek to take care of itself. Honor and glory are reserved for those who can aim beyond that mark.

Good letter. Yes, feminism is dead. It served it's purpose by getting women the vote and equal pay for equal work, and other rights. But now feminism is about destroying marriage and family since they are considered to be "oppressive to women." It's all about elective abortions and same sex marriage nowadays.

The definition of feminism is “equal rights for women.” Some, like the poster at 11:03 p.m., want to add their own personal definitions to the term.
When equal rights has been accomplished on this planet the word will happily fade from use.
