Now the spiteful interrogations, accusations and nasty labelling by the feminists are being directed at the fiercely independent Salma Hayek, who has said she is not a feminist and she believes in equality.

"“I am not a feminist,” she told People Magazine on the red carpet before the event.
“If men were going through the things women are going through today, I would be fighting for them with just as much passion. I believe in equality.”

As can be seen from the readers' letters, she is not alone and she has an incoming flood tide of support.

Why should Salma Hayek be forced by feminist totalitarianism into wearing their offensive brand label anyhow? What about freedom of speech and freedom to choose?

The confused case of Salma Hayek.

She explained that someone told her that feminists
hate men - so there she is before an award presentation
by the group "Equality Now" which was honouring her for
her work to stop violence against women. Apparently
Ms Hayek didn't see the irony of it.

Can't we have an honest discussion about women's issues
without some women having to bring up how much they
love men? Why should some women feel that they have to
sell feminism on the basis of how it will benefit the
boys - instead of it being the right thing to do?

Aren't women allowed to say - "I support women"
without having to preface it with "Don't worry I
will fight for men's causes just as passionately!"

Apparently not.

cont'd ...

So much for "equality!"

There is no irony. Just feminists trying to bag and gag her.

"Now the spiteful interrogations, accusations and nasty labelling by the feminists are being..."...blah, blah, blah.

Gawd, otb, we'd have to go a long long way to see the kind of spiteful blather you dish up anytime your "feminism" antenna is tweaked.

"....feminist totalitarianism...."

Lol!

otb,

You'll have to be more specific.

Or are sweeping generalisations all you've got.

Which feminists are trying to "gag" and "bag"
Salma Hayak?

The only attempts that we can see on this forum
of "gaging" and "bagging" are coming from you.

If feminism is so outdated in your opinion
why do you find it necessary to persist to downgrade
and attack it so obsessively. Does it in so way
threaten you? Because you certainly appear to have
an irrational, inflexible attitude towards an
entire category of people. And your attacks are so
inappropriate and always rooted in generalisations,
ignoring the differences among individuals.

Goodness me. Ive pointed it out to you previously
that men come in all sizes and shapes, as do women.
Why on earth do you persist in injecting some
kind of personal and rude remarks about characteristics
related only to the female gender. Were you mistreated
by some woman in your life - Do tell.
