Is feminism genetic racism

[JamesHunt]

There's alot of talk from feminists that women get a raw deal in life and should be given special privileges to compete with men. What do you lot think?

LOL!! what raw deal?? Well, IMO, no, they shouldn't have "special" privileges. Women have a warped view of equality, mostly only wanting it "only" if it benefits "ONLY" them.

I just came off a cruise and at the very first lifeboat drill the captain stated that in case of an emergency, women and children first, as if my life or the life of a man is less important. The nerve! You can bet one thing, if the ship had went down, I'd bet my left nut, that you wouldn't have "one" women scream about equality and to let a man have her seat on the lifeboat! IMO, women need to just plain shut up about being treated unfairly and enjoy not being "forced" to sign up for the draft (like men are)and placed on the front lines in Iraq!

Now I know there will be alot of people on here who will call me a misogynist because of my previous statements, but really, I like a woman to be able to have the ability to pay for dinner, clean the gutters, open "my" door for a change, die on a ship, jump in front of the bullet and change the oil in my truck. "TRUE" equality is more of what we need, not special privileges because a person is female.


Have a great day

I don't know even one feminist who thinks women should be given special previleges. Not one. I do know women who would like to be financially compensated in a manner commensurate to men for the same job. I know women who would insist the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Ledbetter vs Goodyear case was a travesty of justice. I know catholic woman who lament that the church limits their participation and devalues their spirituality. This complaint would be heard throughout the Muslim world, if woman weren't so completely subjugated by Islam. Woman have to fight continually for their right to their own body, even in this country, as every conservative asshole politician, in his persistent pursuit of the fundamentalist vote, is forever producing legislation to limit reproductive rights. A man can walk into a pharmacy and get viagra, but in some states druggists want the right to deny woman birth control. Yeah, the Earth is a pretty shitty place for women. If you don't want to hear them complain, do something about it.

You should know by now, James Hunt legendary for creating some of the dumbest threads.

First, conservatism and republicanism are not the same thing, so the trite slights against conservatism every time a social issue is discussed is, quite frankly, juvenile. I am a conservative because of my fiscal and foreign policy views (based on a life time spent working overseas)...

In terms of sexism, I hope that equality is reached. I am not sure how reliable certain data is regarding the wages of men and women, mainly due to the fact that poor males tend to work in construction jobs, while poor females tend to work in waitressing careers (this of course is a generalization but then again so is any data you quote). Although, both is respectable, a career in construction, male or female, deserves a higher wage.... just a thought...

Finally, I tend to believe that modern and 1960's feminism (not counting the early, true, feminist movement) are more political than anything else. Although I am not a fan and hope that she (Sarah Palin) does not become a conservative figure head, she was exposed to more sexism at the hands of so-called feminist than anyone I can recall in recent memory....

First, conservatism is much broader than fiscal conservatism. Almost every politician in America would call herself a fiscal conservative and is. American conservatism includes a set of conflicting and confused stances against a whole set of social issues: gay marriage, choice, stem cell research, evolution, prayer in schools, social security, healthcare, torture, immigration etc. If an American says, “I’m a conservative,” he may not take the conservative side of all these issues, but it’s fair to say he tends to the conservative side of sufficiently many to warrant the label.

I think you’re twisting the attack on Palin to suit your purpose. The objection to Palin, by feminists, was Palin’s sexist policies. Palin is against allowing women the legal right to her own body, even though Palin is proud of the “choice” her own daughter made. Palin’s own popularity is due to sexual stereotyping. I swear, half the men who voted for her did so because she’s a hot milf. Really.

I am not sure how reliable certain data is regarding the wages...

If you look into these data sets you will see that job equivalencies are factored into the studies. Waitressing is not regarded as equivalent to masonry and construction.

In terms of sexism, I hope that equality is reached.

With this I agree. In the words of Harriet Harmon,
“I think a balanced team of men and women makes better decisions.”
