OMG! This drives me nuts! I stay away from the articles and the books. Yea, we have different "needs" but that doesn't make us better, or mean that men should be door mats for us.
Neither are superior, and men shouldn't be made to feel so. Domestic abuse for example, there is so much resources for women, where's the battered men shelters??? they're left to their own devices.
fem·i·nism
ˈfeməˌnizəm/Submit
noun
the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.
Equal in what ways? Along the lines, we've forgotten that we're different. It's not about being better. It's gotten outta control. Yes. We need contraception clinics, but men have much different needs and are being forgotten about. Society needs to tell men it's ok to be weak if you're not feeling strong, or places to go if they're in abusive situations they can't get away from.
A prime example is the new Prime Minster of Canada, yes, i agree with a lot of his views, but he's made his cabinet a 50/50 split of men and women. There are more male politicians... How many got looked over because they didn't have the right parts????
Anyway, as a woman I'm sorry IT that you feel this way, I wish people would where it counts stop looking at gender, and just take the person for who they are.
