Hmmm. I like to think that you're a feminist no matter where you are on the spectrum too, just like you said, so long as you value each gender as much as the other. Feminism=believing women should be able to define themselves. I also agree that it's hard to find a happy paradigm to follow with centuries of female oppression behind us- how can we not demand some payback for all the crap our sisters had to put up with in the past? I'm no femi-nazi, but I certainly get ticked off even thinking about the objectification of women that is still so strong in the media. The media sucks, that's all there is to it.<br><br>On the brighter side, at least where I live in AZ, women in the church that I associate with don't seem to let gender issues bother them. Several times I've brought up feminist ideas while visiting teaching, saying things like "the world says ___, but I think ___," and the women I'm talking to are like, "um duh," like they don't even have to think about how to value themselves it just comes naturally. They are focused on their FAMILIES, not themselves, and so are their spouses, and the natural result is that they each choose tasks that they know they will do best for their family. They don't have to sit and say "now I'd better do this task because it wouldn't be fair or equal if you did it." I like that and I strive to be that way to. (Hope some of that made sense.)<br><br>Great response! It's women like you (and hopefully me) who can help women in general push past the past to a brighter future!Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986421785931719572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491368809081158836.post-61984305022500935122012-11-27T22:05:33.892-08:002012-11-27T22:05:33.892-08:00Liz!

Who honestly believes this? Alas . . .<br><br>I think her big flaw here is confusing "nature" and "DNA" with what is basically tradition. And tradition is a weak argument, from something as serious as slavery ("But we've ALWAYS had slaves on muh plantation!") to something as household as electricity ("But I LIKE lighting candles!") Change comes, people bitch about it, it still comes. And usually for the better.<br><br>Also, on a side note, I hate that "feminist" is a dirty word. That, before discussing gender equality, we as women feel the need to clear away the stereotype of a man-hating, bra-burning "femi-nazi" before we can state our opinion. I can't tell you how many times I've been in a class discussion on gender and a girl raises her hand to make a comment, prefacing it with "Well, I'm not a feminist, but . . ." and then makes a totally legit argument supporting feminism. I honestly think it's some awful conspiracy to make women (and men) ashamed to be feminists. Do you support women's rights? Do you support women's equality? Guess what, you're a feminist. Don't let the media's negative (and purposely inaccurate) portrayal of a feminist make you embarrassed to say so.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759675746707403501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491368809081158836.post-74725668000174284052012-11-27T08:27:10.175-08:002012-11-27T08:27:10.175-08:00This is brilliant and I love how articulate you ar...This is brilliant and I love how articulate you are when bringing to light these things that SHOULD be obvious but rarely are. Mostly I just want to copy+paste lines from this and go, "I AGREE!" but that would be fairly tedious for you to read... It suffices me to say that I love your perspective here and am now going to share this everywhere.Kjerstinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577584524342648544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491368809081158836.post-79909194889009902312012-11-26T18:36:25.949-08:002012-11-26T18:36:25.949-08:00I started to read this earlier when Bekah posted i...I started to read this earlier when Bekah posted it but I couldn't get through it and take it seriously. I'm so TIRED of women being blamed FOR EVERYTHING. Oh, women are can't find someone to marry? Well, that's their fault and they should be more "womanly" and "let" the man be more "manly." <br>A thought that is a branch off of all of this ridiculousness: How many books do you find written FOR MEN to improve their marriage, dating lives, and family relationships? How many books of that nature are written FOR WOMEN? A helluva lot more, that's how many. What I want to tell this author is: Let's stop blaming ourselves and each other and look for men who are going to catch the hell up. Let's ignore their pouting about the loss of what THEY would define as "feminine" and find the keepers who are just as interested in watching us succeed as we are them. <br>And one more thing- the ONLY place "in the media" where I see and hear men (as well as women) being told to get it together is in the church. Which is why it is true. <br>Carrie Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209518269608948257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1491368809081158836.post-10501602363560479952012-11-26T18:32:53.602-08:002012-11-26T18:32:53.602-08:00Thank you so much for that insightful response. It...Thank you so much for that insightful response. It helped articulate some of the feelings I've been having about this message. The other thing that really bugs me is that this article is written in a world where homosexuality does not exist. As a gay woman, I take personal offense to the idea that I need a man for my life to be balanced, or that two men can't love and support one another. I've read a lot of gay and lesbian history and for a while people thought all gay people, whether butch or fem, tried to find their opposite in order to "fit in" socially. But there are many many examples of two "butch" or two "fems" living happily together. I do know that there are women (lesbians or feminists, and they don't have to be both) who think life is better without men completely, and go form communities of entirely women. While I prefer the company of women emotionally and romantically, some of my best friends are men (Steven, Blaine) and I enjoy being around good men. And I believe, that while gender roles are, as you suggested, mostly arbitrary and socially constructed, children should have role models of the same gender. But I liked what you pointed out. Nobody makes me be a good person or a bad, so any role model should be kind and generous first, then the same gender second if possible. You and I were lucky to have many roles models of both genders growing up, and so we learned to treat everyone with love and respect, which is really what's most important. So thank you for your insight. I love you so much!Beckahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969300981824099329noreply@blogger.com
