Question: Why is Feminism considered a bad thing?
My Answer: Feminism is seen as a negative thing only to those who only see the negative part of feminism. As a feminist I believe in equality for both females as well as a male. Yes I do express this mostly when the time is appropriate in an appropriate manner whereas other feminist don't. A huge amount of people usually are exposed to the feminist that don't. There are people who consider themselves feminist but do not care for the other party, that other party being males. On occasion a handful of "feminist" are actually misandrist and/ or miseducated on what being a feminist really is. Those are usually the people who are televised or making a scene when acts occur that require a "feminist response" or response in defence of a woman's right. On top of that those same people make it voiced that they are a feminist in those negative actions giving the feminist community a bad reputation. This same situation occurs in racial activities too and is part of the reason racism and discrimination still drags on today, because of the set stereotypes.
Question: What is feminism to you?
My answer: It's a juggernaut. To me feminism is expressing equal rights and reducing the set standards for females and males. Things from who should pay the dinner date bill to jobs females can have or who can make the first big step in a relationship to who cleans the house. Feminism can be applied to big and little topics because they all add up. Feminism is freedom, to help people of all gender be freed from the shackles, shells and mask of set standards by our ancestors. That's what feminism is to me.
Question: What is the cause of discrimination towards the female community? How does Feminism play a part in that?
My Answer: For the majority of my life I assumed that the whole situation regarding the set standards for females and how they are treated was created by insecure men along time ago. Men who wouldn't let their pride and ego's relax so they created rules to undermine women. The women who didn't agree with it they either beat them into fear or to death because they were too much of a punk to overcome their own insecurities and actually show their strengths without violence. Funny, feminism reminds me a lot of race issues. I got this image not from my own family but I learned it as I grew up mostly on media and in school. Teachers I've had would always state how men do this and females do that, that men run the world and women sit back and give them whatever they demand because men do everything. Of course growing up in my family that is easily proven and to be a pile of stool and any talk like that is usually just air. How feminism plays a part in that is to try and cut that tie or sever from the past so we don't continue drag it into the future because the next generations shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of the behaviors of the past generations at least not the bad ones.
Question: Is being called a feminist offencive?
My Answer: No, not at all. To some people yes, indeed it is, for reasons I have stated before. To me it is an empowerment. To be considered a feminist as a female is a label for the me, for the world to know that I am a woman of reason and strength and wisdom because those are the traits that come with being a female or even a male feminist. They are enduring positive traits and they shouldn't be looked down on. I feel if people were better and properly educated on certain topics it would dwindle the amount of commotion. There should be a panegyric for feminism (maybe not that might be unnecessary).
Question: Does feminism have a tie with failing or just relationships in general?
My Answer: Absolutely, but not how most people assume. People aren't feminist because of struggling relationships or because they "can't find a man", in fact a majority of feminist are not in relationships because they can't find or keep someone but rather they are trying to prove a point. Because it's assumed that women "can't live for themselves" and are "dependant of men", which are the main things you will hear when addressing most topics towards women, women then choose to stand up for themselves and take action. Which then leads to refusal of relationships; and because they do so people mainly men will state unsolicited comments about it causing the women to act bitter to anyone who opens their mouth about it right off the back, as instinct. This gives you the basic snooty woman that is usually the face of feminism. That is what we are represented by to outsiders/ people at first glance. The other way feminism plays a role in relationships is a topic of it's own.
Question: What about people who think feminism is women being superior to men?
My Answer: That's nonsense and it goes against what feminism truly is in fact it just flips the problem to the other side. If that's the case then it would be a matter of masculism, get it? We are going for equality not trying to overpower the other. Have everyone on the same level not one low and one high.
So What do you think?
