What do you think about Feminism?

Asked by thesparrow (2741points) September 14th, 2011

I’m neither a fervent feminist nor a proponent of an ultra-traditional family arrangement. I’m somewhere in between, I think. As far as I can see, feminism has done a lot of positive things for women. However, some have also taken it as a license to do things like [1] bitch about men and how they are ‘subservient’ to them (let’s be honest about who’s subservient and who isn’t) [2] renounce the value of motherhood and family (something even men have never done) [3] make women into martyrs (i.e. complain about how they’re bogged down with hours of household chores) and [4] make it seem that men are completely useless. To an extent, we CAN do it all nowadays—with the proper education and career—but this isn’t necessarily the BEST way to do it.

However, I do realize that were it not for feminism I wouldn’t even be given the chance to be expressing my opinion publicly. What I have disdain for is radical feminism (I should have made myself clear). *see Germaine Greer for example
