Feminism And Masculism

[chica]

Is it possible to be feminist and masculist at the same time?
Is this a man's world that oppresses women or are both men and women equally oppressed?
Is it right to teach girls to be mothers and wives?
And boys to be fighters and soldiers?

[drunken goldfish]

Ooh, you followed my idea! :) . What do you mean by "masculinist", though?
I definitely think there's a lot of sexism in the world, and not just the more obvious forms of opression, but the more subtle ones like I mentioned - that we automatically accept males as the default person. Things that are considered male are also often considered superior, which is why if a girl learns karate or follows football it's cool, but if a guy takes ballet or watches soap operas he's likely to be ridiculed. So in a sense, men are also opressed, because their options for accepted behavior are much more limited.

[chica]

^^Yes, that's what I had in mind. Everyone has to stick to their gender role. But also, there are situations where men are discriminated against, like when they are victims of violence. Imagine public reaction to a group of men beating another man and a group of men beating a woman.

[Busy Clippers]

Yes, imagine! Slapped wrists for rapists, and derisory sentences. Meanwhile, the woman is scarred for life. Imagine indeed...

I think what she meant was that violence is violence, regardless of upon whom or by whom it is perpetrated.

[chica]

They destroy lives, and give up all their right when they rape women or children.
Or men.
But why do people do that? Yes, some of them have mental disorders obviously, but plenty of rapists are completely sane persons who were taught that violence is the right way to get things that they want. Aren't boys encouraged to be violent? And aren't girls encouraged to be smiling, pretty and gentle?

[drunken goldfish]

I am in favour of sterilising rapists, and paedophiles too.
My English could be failing me here - you mean (chemical) castration, right? I've often heard people suggest that and I think it's great if they agree (some do, as a part of their therapy), but I don't think we have a right to do it, just like we can't cut the arms off thieves. Also, it doesn't always help, as many rapists don't rape just for sexual reasons, but because of much more complicated issues (wanting to feel powerful, etc.). I once heard of a rapist who received this therapy, so he continued raping with other means (I won't go into details, lets just say unfortunatley you don't need a "working" penis to molest someone).

[Dave]

I recall a game of pool I had with a man several years back, I thrashed him. He got really offended and arsey about it, which amused me.

Such wanky, gender-defined behaviour mystifies me. If I am capable of thrashing a man at pool, why shouldn't I?

Were you distracting him by leaning over the table? ;)

"Is it possible to be feminist and masculist at the same time?"

yes, because if men don't emancipate then nothing will ever change for the better.

"Is this a man's world that oppresses women or are both men and women equally oppressed?"

women atill earn less than men, women still have only a tiny percentage of high positions in this world, women still have only a tiny percentage of leading positions in this world. there are only a handful of female presidents in this world. women only got the right to vote since a very short time in history. I think that answers the question.

"Is it right to teach girls to be mothers and wives?"

if that's ALL you teach them then no. if it's taught in addition to being a human being with a right to chose her own destiny and having other oportunities in this society then yes. girls do give birht - indeed.


"And boys to be fighters and soldiers?"

well who would have the right to reduce a human being to such a fate? no. noone is destined to be anything particular at all. and who needs fighters and soldiers in a civilized society anyway.
peace and love.

[the more you explore me!]

i was going to post here but you've said everything i was thinking and more and written it better then i ever could. thank you

[Disappointed]

I believe that women and men should be treated equally in all walks of life, but particularly under the law. Right now, that is, unfortunately, not the case, anywhere in the world.

According to the patriarchal system (which is the system that we all live under right now), some men must be oppressed. For example: homosexual men; non-white men; or men with disabilities. While all men are privileged to an extent in a patriarchal system, some men have less privilege than other men.

I have a problem with the word "equally". Men and women have different needs, and if you treat people with different needs equally, that results in inequality.
While all men are privileged to an extent in a patriarchal system, some men have less privilege than other men.
Yet all men (speaking of western world) are discriminated against when it comes to child custody and parental rights.

'Equal' does not mean 'the same'. I don't believe that there is anybody in the world who believes that people are the same. Equal means having equal rights, not being considered as inferior.

We're equal, but different, we're equal, but different, it's obvious... :D

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

That's kinda a bold statement there Bob...

my boldness is tempered by all the lieing, cheating, thieving birds i have known
maybe HONOR and being PRINCIPLED are simply concepts women are programmed to destroy
who knows
i certainly do not
but women are definitely a terrifying lot that get a 'free pass' in the world
simply because many of them are so excellent @ using men as their instruments of evil :o

If you're rich and you're white, you'll be alright

[mauve21]

It's all about standards. What kind of standards both men and women
have and how they treat each other, or mistreat as the case may be.

Unfortunately there are still men who think it's okay to drink or take
drugs to excess and live a bachelor lifestyle, while the "little woman"
stays at home looking after the babies.
I will jump up and cheer the day I see that women stop allowing themselves
to be treated as mere "chattels".
On a current affairs program the other night there was a thirty two year
old woman who had ten children, only three had the same father,
the rest she admitted had different fathers.
This woman was quite happy with her lot and said she'll have
more babies. She was not religious and seemed to not have any
hopes for the future for employment or education for herself.
Her sixteen year old daughter was pregnant.
What a sad situation that is......
Who's fault? Hers for opening her legs too many times? Her Mother's?
The men who "took advantage" of her.
The media has prolonged the "over sexualization" of young girls
and I wonder what became of feminism!
I mean really, it wasn't just meant to be something for lesbians.
I'm sure all men and women would be happier and it would be a much
fairer society if our girls and boys grew up with a genuine healthy
respect for each other and each other's bodies.......:cool:

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

while the "little woman"
stays at home looking after the babies
yes, this is a problem
since most modern women tend to be terrible mothers
and even poorer fathers
I cannot wait for the day when the bias in our courts against men and fathers comes to an end!

[!Viva Hate!]

I'm rich AND white and I'm not alright :(

I still end up with manipulative, abusive females...

So there kinda comes a time when you have to stop blaming the girls and try and figure out what is wrong with you that they all feel they have to treat you so badly for...at least that's what I've been trying to do...

what is wrong with me is that breathing is automatic

Well...you could...um...put yourself on a respirator...then a machine could do it for you...

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

I am sorry, I do not think I was clear
I was desiring to no longer breath
there must be some way of murdering ourselves merely by wishing to be no more
you know
'no fuss, no muss' :)

[!Viva Hate!]

Oh yes...I'd rather be dead myself but the thought of suicide is so embarassing for the family...I wouldn't want to tarnish our name like that...

I was feeling the same way about an hour ago...but I turned "King Leer" on and I can't help but feel somewhat giddy...

But when it all comes down to it...I still want to die...I'm sure if I ever gave in and did drugs I'd be much better off...

no no no!
look @ me
am i better off?
of course not
but then again
it is only women that drive me to drink and drugs :eek: :confused:

[!Viva Hate!]

I don't know...why is it that women drive you to that? Do you want to have a relationship or do you just want sex? If you just want sex then I'm sure things will be fine...relationships are tricky though...and I have yet to figure them out myself.

I'm miserable because I'm 20 and I want a serious relationship...and no girl I've ever been with has wanted that. They want to go out and party and drink and sleep with random people. And I am...I guess...old fashioned and I just want one person. So...I can't get someone to stay...I can easily get a girlfriend but I don't see a point in it if it isn't going to be serious.

Well...it is women and my lack of being able to love one that loves me that drives me to hate myself. Not to mention the fact I hate the part of me that wants to be with a boy. Errr...reality is too hard for me...I'd rather not experience it.

fuck sex
i want to adore someone worthy of adoration(or at least good @ fooling me they are :o)

ps: stop hating yourself
they really hate that
believe me i know...

[!Viva Hate!]

Yeah! Fuck sex! Lol.
I don't care much for it either.
I just want someone who will always be there for me.

Oh I know what you mean about the hating yourself thing. You should have seen my last girlfriend Elizabeth! Heartless. She hated herself so much and I hated myself so much...when two people hate themselves and are a couple that equals disaster...over a year of it to be exact...

I seriously wanted to choke her when she left me by leaving a note on the bed and me coming back to find that and nothing else and then to have her call me an hour later and tell me how low the gas prices were in Ohio!

You are not unable to love. It is the other people around you.
The part about lack of being able to love driving you to hate yourself.
Oh! Stop! It's not your fault!
It just means you haven't met the right person.
Besides if someone whether they be male or female doesn't accept you
for who you are, they just aren't worth it.
You can only be yourself.
Anything else would be futile.....

[slum mum 1974]

I agree with you Mauve 21, well said:).....Viva, your time will come..i promise, i have faith that you will meet the right person and so will you robby.....I just know it:)

The feminist movement as we have come to know it in recent decades is fundamentally a "con." It is as filled with falsehood, inaccuracy, and foolishness as astrology or parapsychology. As it is considered treasonous to criticise a sister feminist, no standards of accuracy or honesty are ever enforced. Hyperbole and deceit thus become the formula for success, "peer review" playing no role in reining in misinformation. Any would-be feminist who raises scholarly objections to the rampant misinformation ( Christina Hoff Sommers , Camille Paglia , Wendy McElroy , Elaine Showalter , Erin Pizzey , Elizabeth Loftus, etc.) is branded an 'enemy of women' and is drummed out of the movement.

Would you care to tell us more about those ladies?

However, the sad lack of compassion I was talking about was that of women for women in ordinary life, frankly I don't care about academic disputes ;)

Listen mate, you have tried attacking me since the day I first posted. GO AWAY. I am not interested in you and your wimpy 'do you like me' antics on here.

I thought you were a teenage girl until I saw your pic.

Your opinions are boring and typical of the populist liberal left that cannot think or reason for themselves.

You insult me without ever feeling the need to justify yourself.

You are NOT intellegent, well-informed or interesting. Don't insult my intellegence any further.

Offer a critique of Robert Sheaffer's work or just shut your mouth.

that's cool you think your intelligent :rolleyes:
then again, your need to cast aspersions on my intelligence does make one wonder :eek:
but not too much though given that i have read your posts and your biases are already quite obvious to me and others
but posting links to garbage like
http://www.debunker.com/patriarchy.html
only helps to further constrict the narrow confines on here with which you are viewed by your fellow posters
and for that
I thank you

as to offering a critique of the author
he is unworthy of one and you are unworthy of one
but I think you already knew that

ps: since you are supposedly so smart then you should know that telling people to shut up that you cannot make shut up is kind of stupid
unless some kind of tone evoking humor is obvious and given that most of what you post is mean spirited
that is cerntainly not an easy assumption to make in this case
also
it is worth noting that somebody like me is never bullied by someone like you
whether it be online or in the real world when they say 'shut up'
however I'd bet money that you are the kind of coward who gets off on saying these mean things online
but are quite a meek, pathetic little creature in the real world
and for that you have only my sympathy :o

Calling something 'garbage' is hardly a critique. You have been on my back since day one. I have never bullied anyone in my life, nor am I 'mean' in my real life or online.

You have consistently attacked me and you are now clearly upset by my retaliation.

You chose to make the public statement that you did not like me, you are the one with the problem, you are the one that is threatened by my presence.

Your insults continue to be personal, despite the fact that I have made no attack on you until now.

As for the rest of your insults, I am open about who I am and where I am and anyone is welcome to come up and chat to me at any of the public events advertised on any one of my four websites. I am at public events 4 to 5 times a week and there are plenty of 'tough guys' like you that wish to have a word with me , join the queue!


We have both been here since April 2006, Strikingly, you have over 8,000 posts, I have less than 400.


So, give it a rest Mr keyboard warrior.

low post or high post counts are nothing to be ashamed of
EITHER OF THEM
however i do understand that you are very insecure poster and thats not such a bad thing
since many do not agree with what you post here
now normally that is not enough for me to relegate someone to the
'make sure to tell others what an idiot this guy is' list
but i already made an exception when it came to you a while ago
and i see now what a good thing that was
SINCE IT MEANS YOU POST LESS :cool:
also, you just happen to have riled the feathers of a number of female posters
and so when it comes to certain matters
i do bow to the majority :o
and luckily you will go away again as you have a number of times
once again not winning anybody here over
and not making yourself feel any better
aint it cool dude! :)

You know I’m insecure as a result of some posts on this site?

You keep saying that many people don’t agree with me, I wonder why you need that reinforcement? Yet you call me insecure….fascinating.

You demonstrate this constant need for support with your ‘do you like me’ polls and reinforcement statements and yet you call me insecure……one has to rub one’s chin and wonder, doesn’t one?

I have ruffled the feathers of females? Why does that bother you? Are you hoping to win their hearts by attacking me and ’saving’ them? Ooh, a knight in shining armour sweeping Nugz and Chica away!

I don’t post much and have to go away because I have a career, children and I am also preparing to promote my new book (Boz is in it). Why don’t you come to a store or at least tune in to one of my interviews. PLUG PLUG.

ain’t it cool dude!

Just ask for dates!!!! That goes for all of you.


Ps love the way you only answer one line of my posts.

[Please]

Feminism must be left to woman, it is not for men to defend, or create feminism as this is a form of control.

the following contradicts the above however. Woman cannot surpress musculinity either as this would be like a black person fighting for black rights whilst being oppresive to whites

I never once stated that I was intelligent in any of my posts, I stated that the other person wasn't. Hark at you with your degree in communication, ooh the irony!

I never once stated that I was intelligent in any of my posts, I stated that the other person wasn't. It's a real shame that you just picked up on what the other person was claiming rather than read the posts. I find that really depressing.

It seems he does have some influence on some of you after all.

actually in AMERICA its SPELLED. and in AMERICA its glamor, not glamour. and apparently, unlike you, i realize some things are SPELLED slightly different in the UK, are you not aware??

and just to be fair, he also SPELLED CONGRATULATIONS wrong as well, i just noticed. so now it's even, happy now??

We put those silent letters in to upset Americans:D My favourite is 'Center' instead of 'Centre', that's the way children write:D or 'aluminum' instead of 'aliminium'.

But seriously, I think most languages have silent letters.

English should always be very economical, very concise. I despise people that use 'so', 'like' 'basically' etc when speaking, it's moronic and superfluous. More than that, I hate baseball hats and the morons that wear them.

Other than that I love the USA!

I don't wear baseball hats. my head is too small. i do say "like" alot though. im not a valley girl, its just so instilled into my vernacular, i cant help it. ::shrug::

wait, so you guys spell aluminum...aliminium. do you pronounce it that way too? ...not trying to be a smartass (this time, heh), just honestly curious...

[the more you explore me!]

I hate baseball hats and the morons that wear them.

Only because it would ruin your quiff, if you wore one. :p

the UK seems to be 'inflected' with them; what ever happen to the good old bowler:D

That metal is called 'aliminium' and that's how it's pronounced.

It's a good way of spotting a moron from a distance, so it's useful.

[nugz]

That metal is called 'aliminium' and that's how it's pronounced.

are you sure you dont mean aluminium as opposed to our aluminum?? that makes more sense. i dont think aliminium is a word.

[the more you explore me!]

sure is a lot of them around here then

:rolleyes:

[Please]

hahaha ohhh ok.

sorry for being spelling nazi, im just picky about that sort of thing, and i'm extremely bored. have nothing better to do at the moment.

Why refer to it as English then? We handed you the language, at least use it in the correct manner.

I mean SIDEWALK, whats that about?

yes, i'm confused too. whats wrong with the word SIDEWALK?

oh and could someone please clear up the aluminum/aluminium/aliminium debate for me?? haha

[SouthpawGlamour]

are you sure you dont mean aluminium as opposed to our aluminum?? that makes more sense. i dont think aliminium is a word.

yes, I mean aluminium, but you don't have your own 'aluminum', it's the same metal.

'Aluminium is found primarily in bauxite ore and is remarkable for its ability to resist corrosion (due to the phenomenon of passivation) and its light weight. The metal is used in many industries to manufacture a large variety of products and is very important to the world economy. Structural components made from aluminium and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and very important in other areas of transportation and building.'

I think to be really American, I will call you 'The Nugster', or perhaps, 'The Nugster Chick'!


One of my friends from childhood is from Buffalo and he used to end every sentence with 'an shit'. So, he would say, 'I just been to the laundromat an shit':D 'I bought a record an shit'.

hahaha. that's funny.

actually...if youre curious...Nugz is actually short for nuggets. as in chicken nuggets. i love the damn things. (sorry mozzy). not necessarily of the mcdonalds persuasion, but just regular ones from the grocery store. i buy them in bulk. i seriously eat like an 8 year old. anyway, i found myself talking to my friends on AIM, saying stuff like "yeah im hungry, I'm gonna go make myself some chicken nuggets." and cuz i said it so much, it somehow got shortened to "im gonna go make some nugz." with a Z of course.

haha, obviously my true intellect does not shine through on account of my "interweb speak."

[Please]

you walk on the side!

Exactly, i heard a rumour that Americans used sidewalk instead of pavement because alot of americans got confused as to what a pavement was. Where as a sidewalk is exactly what it says on the tin.

[Please]

yes, i'm confused too. whats wrong with the word SIDEWALK?

oh and could someone please clear up the aluminum/aluminium/aliminium debate for me?? haha

it is aluminium, although aliminium is also used in certain industries in the uk.

The one thing that really gets my goat is when people talk about bands in the singular, as if the band is a person. i.e. The smiths is performing tonight, instead of The Smiths ARE performing tonight.

However 'is' is appropraite, in the following sentence:

The Smiths is dead. I find this an acceptable use of is.

Anyway i've never been overly bother about spelling and grammar on message boards (i make enough mistakes) but the use of language does give me a tick or thirty

[Cassius]

unless its denzel washington. i might make an exception for denzel. he's pretty handsome.

I like Wesley Snipes. :D

[Marr27]

actually, even though it sounds funny, and i dont say it this way myself, I think saying "the Smiths is performing" is grammatically correct (in a sense). Because, THE SMITHS is ONE band. just like, say for instance ..."Radiohead is performing tonight." you dont say "Radiohead are performing tonight", even though there's 4 (i believe?) people in the band, its still one band, one entity.

At least this is what i remember being taught back in junior high but that was over 10 years ago, so its possible I am mistaken.

[nugz]

lolz. oh snap!

But the Smiths are'nt doing the performing, that is just the collective name chosen for the performers.

I do say radiohead are performing tonight, i have not heard many english people saying that they 'is'. Just sounds a bit 'lord of the rings'. No offence intended but its just that i can comprehend that radiohead is made up of a group of 4 people so they are playing to me rather than is playing to me.

I mean you would'nt say radiohead is great to a friend would you?

Sorry to sound like a bastard, but i see this as more of an interesting discussion and no offence intended. Anyway i;m dyslexic apparently, so i'm not one to talk...apparently

Feminism must be left to woman, it is not for men to defend, or create feminism as this is a form of control.

the following contradicts the above however. Woman cannot surpress musculinity either as this would be like a black person fighting for black rights whilst being oppresive to whites
