Poirot,

It is telling that along with Suseonline you would be defending and promoting anal sex for women. Anal sex is Tres 'Progressive', no doubt.

That is despite the dangers and how ill-advised it is for young women of childbearing age or younger :( and the risks to their offspring. Obviously too, anyone who proposes anal sex is highly likely to be indulging in other high risk behaviour.

Of course too as a feminist you are ill-disposed and scolding towards young women who let the side down in the gender war as you foolishly see it, by communicating to their male partners what they want in sex and relationship. Damn, that IS bad news for the self-centered Boomer princesses, isn't it? -Who made their desires a riddle and their climax (no chance!) the responsibility of their male partners, did the unresponsive 'starfish' and later complained to their friends. They got their buzz out undermining their men and bellyaching, instead of being forthright and active.

You want young women to waste their lives as you have done, dumping on boys and men and using them as your whipping boys. They are your excuse for not achieving what you could have done with your life. Above all, you are not at all concerned about the health, wellbeing and happiness of young women.

The OP asked the wrong question, one that assumed that the greedy educated middle class leftists, the carping and demanding Boomer Princesses who ARE feminism might have some toehold to maintain their assumed victimhood and seats on the guvvy gravy train forever.

No, they are being sloughed off, but too slowly. The difficulty is dislodging their pear-shaped posteriors form the many jobs in academia, in the public bureaucracies (that also suck mightily from the taxpayer's teat) so that young people can finally have their day in the sun.

The real question is how to dislodge those vexatious, unproductive seat polishing feminist dinosaurs, whose only 'contribution' is in exercising their long-honed skills in the dark art of troublemaking and undermining, and constantly making everyone around them unhappy at work.

otb,

"It is telling that along with Suseonline you would be defending and promoting anal sex for women. Anal sex is Tres 'Progressive', no doubt."

What a smutty little "no-thought" reply.

Where have I defended anything of the sort?

Why is it you immature men can't stop referring to anal sex....it's becoming a crude obsession with you guys.

These threads always attract an oafish lewd outburst from the usual suspects.

Why don't you grow up, otb?

//Of course feminism should not belittle those brave women that choose the hardest job of all....staying home fulltime with several children!//

Really?

I think fire-fighters probably have the hardest job of all - when they're not fighting massive bushfires they get to have the joy of pulling dead bodies out of crashed cars. Small children can be difficult, but some mothers really need some perspective on what constitutes a hard job.

//It has always been a fact of life that men perpetrate the bulk of of all crimes. That is just the truth.//

It's always been a fact of life that women get paid less than men.

It's always been a fact of life that men have a higher suicide rate than women.

It's always been fact of life that women experience higher rates of domestic violence than men.

It's always been a fact of life that men have higher rates of workplace deaths than women.

Just because something has 'always been a fact of life' doesn't mean we shouldn't work to change it and better ourselves.

//Go burn your bras ladies and let your boobs get saggy till they touch your knees..
Why should I care...

Just don't try to insult my intelligence and tell me that women don't get the same wages as a man in any award rate job they do or that they have less corporate or political opportunities when they are all out spreading their legs to get a easy meal ticket and a baby bonus.//

+10 points for Slytherin.

//It's a tried and true tactic - which I like to call the "Caveman Strategy"//

That's probably a bit unfair to real palaeolithic people: they were too busy trying to survive to worry about belittling women on the internet. Those tendencies probably didn't start to appear until at least the neolithic period.

Something that puzzles me is the combination of feminism with being soft on Islam. The oppression of women by Sharia is even more misanthropic than its oppression of men.

Toni Lavis, personally I think I would prefer to be out there fighting fires than be a stay at home mother of several children....but that is just me :)

Emperor Julian, where on earth did you get the notion that '...feminism is soft on Islam'?
Feminism has nothing to do with Islam or any other religion. Feminists hate violence or subjugation of women of any race, religion, colour or creed.

If what you mean is the worry about Sharia law, then of course there are aspects of those laws that should worry women in particular, just as there are problems with how all religions treat women.

As long as feminists the world over still push on to attain more equal rights for women in all aspects of life in all countries, I will continue to be proud to call myself a feminist.

I didn't express myself clearly. Try this.

What puzzles me is individuals who combine feminism with being soft on Islam. Islam oppresses women even more than it oppresses men.

In the light of Suse's post I might go on to add:

Suggesting that Islam is not uniquely different from other religions in its misanthropy is being soft on Islam. Google "Sharia".
