We would not be having these commentaries...Bobbye,<br /><br />We would not be having these commentaries challenging feminism, even by those who profess to be feminists, if the culture had accepted it. We go through wild swings of the pendulum, but we almost always wind up some where near the middle. The sadness is that a lot of people get hurt in those swings to the extremes.<br />The victim card is much like the race card, it has been used so much that it no longer has real currency and/or credibility. One can only cry wolf so many times before one is no longer believed.<br />There are, as demonstrated by this blog and many other forms of communication, a growing number of us who challenges the tenets of modern feminism. Not because we dislike women, but because of the damage feminism does to women and the people who would love them and those who these women would love.<br />Getting the idea that one is superior because of their gender is a recipe for disaster and asking for being hoisted on ones petard. We both have our strengths and weaknesses and we are meant to complement each other and take advantage of the synergy that is inherent in that complementation. If one seeks to deceive then the only person they deceive is themselves.<br />Sorry if I misunderstood, but a comment that a father is less capable of loving his children does not sound like respect and is not born out by life. We may, in some cases, show that love in a different way, but that does not make it in less passionate or loving. Too many of us has suffered to ensure that our families, friends, and others can have a place where they can be all they can be to be disrespected by anybody.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-19195023196828070632013-03-20T14:30:18.985-07:002013-03-20T14:30:18.985-07:00Dennis,

The fact that my daughter and I can argue ideas shows what great respect we have for each other. The word argue seems to mean "fight" to many people. Perhaps I should have used the term " spirited debate" instead. The point was a cultural belief system that grants moral superiority to its victim groups as an axiom. Feminism is built upon victimology, with all women being by definition victims. Avictem is always morally superior to a victimizer. Our culture has accepted the model of women as victim so completely that it is almost never challenged. This results in women( victims) believing and acting as morally superior to the victimizers. This culture of the superiority of women is what I seldom see challenged.

One thing I don't do is keep my mouth shut or grovel.<br />It is not about winning. It is about living a good life with people who love you and that you love. Plain and simple. We can only be disrespected if we allow it.<br />For a philosophy that has achieved total victory they sure seem to be quite miserable and unhappy. I guess winning is not what it is cracked up to be???????Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-23969706074854496052013-03-20T09:54:04.500-07:002013-03-20T09:54:04.500-07:00If feminism is over it is only because "they&...If feminism is over it is only because "they" have achieved total victory. In our culture a woman's point of view always trumps a man. My daughter and I recently had an argument when she flatly stated what everyone knows to be true," a mother loves her children more than a man ever could. We argued. I personally do not know any persons who would have challenged that statement. Even if men diagree, they keep thier mouths shut. Women rule and men grovel. That seems like total victory to me.Bobbyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-83516839806179337582013-03-20T05:27:41.724-07:002013-03-20T05:27:41.724-07:00This should come as no surprise if one considers t...This should come as no surprise if one considers the fact that only a prosperous society with a growing economy can afford distractions like modern day feminism, studies, anti culture groups, et al. The fact that most start out addressing a problem that needs to be addresses does not make up for its eventual radicalization and marginalization.<br />It is because of this radicalization that these groups begin to undermine the society, the family, the economy, and themselves, et al that contributes to its own demise as a power broker in that culture. The more one divides people into interest groups whose only real goal is power over the other groups all using government to achieve its desires for that power the more one destroys the cohesiveness needed in order to survive as a country. Governments all seek power and they don't care who they use to garner it.<br />Feminism, as it is presently constituted is a symptom of a society in decline. Like other groups of its ilk it needs an enemy to blame all of its failures on. It also needs a government, who buys them off for a very cheap price, to maintain its status because it no longer has the intellectual foundation for much of it now religious tenets. Words like responsibility, respect, and courtesy for others are an anathema to its adherents. The more they run from these words the more they degrade themselves and the society that they infect.<br />This does not only apply to feminism, but to almost all that the 60s generation held as their guiding principles. Those principles are what is driving this society and culture to ruin.<br />Until we deal with effectively deal with this disease we will not prosper as a truly American culture.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962996070458991675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-75538728501033488612013-03-19T19:17:33.666-07:002013-03-19T19:17:33.666-07:00And it is definitely dividing men and women.

There were real and manufactured issues which needed to be addressed; but, it was always a minority issue, and there was never justification to marginalize half the human population in the process.<br /><br />The end of feminism as a movement marks the return of reason to reasonable men and women. It will be a welcome departure from a reactive ideology.<br /><br />The obstacle to peace will be politicians, activists, and others who profit from exploiting differentials and gradients to advance their political, economic, and social standing.<br /><br />Still, the emergence of reason following a dark age is cause for optimism that we may, once again, pursue an enlightened reconciliation between natural imperatives and human dignity (and ego).n.nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252447117532342957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-4117610725621825772013-03-19T12:38:47.962-07:002013-03-19T12:38:47.962-07:00Patience... it's a step in the right direction...Patience... it's a step in the right direction... remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, or even a year.Stuart Schneidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784043736879991769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-70102085018058245172013-03-19T12:27:11.737-07:002013-03-19T12:27:11.737-07:00Utter nonsense.

If women are better caretakers, men are better leaders, innovators, and statesmen. Lets end all preferential treatment for women in work and school. Let's really pay men more for the same work, since they'll have a family to support.<br /><br />Feminism over, ha! This is just women realizing that working a real job in a crap economy is nothing like a Sex in the City episode and wanting out. Men of course have to pick up the tab.
