No, because that might lead you to see that which is being concealed. We like people to just follow along and go with it.
Funny I never heard this song, and I somehow feel like I never will.
If a woman hates feminism, well I guess you could go back to not being allowed to vote because you would not be considered a person with citizenry rights, you would not have gotten an education beyond maybe elementary if that. And you would get to choose from only a few occupations...that is if you do not want to marry or have children. But at least you might come with a lovely dowery. Forget about reproductive health choices like birth control, if you're lucky you won't end up with a wife beater because that wouldn't be a crime but then again neither would rape. You couldn't initiate divorce , you would not be allowed to enter into most contracts or own property, not that you yourself would be likely to have money to do so anyways.
That's just some of what feminism has given us. I'm not willing to give it back. I appreciate what women before me have faught hard for ..risked lives for..that I could have some freedoms. Too bad we only glorify war and soldiers. I can not understand hating on that.
Many feminists also understand, respect and support male liberation from sexism. Feminism doesn't support inequality.
How quickly we sometimes forget our sister suffragette's.
(Oh and as an aside ...doesn't seem to fit the definition of "new feminism" either. ~ to the person claiming new feminism is ruining everything. )
