Regarding it being called "Feminism"... The term makes perfect sense. Females are the gender being oppressed worldwide, and so the fight for them to be treated equally to men is quite rightly called feminism. |

I am sure white folk living in the 1950's American South and the whites ruling South Africa during Apartheid would agree with you completely. You might have even gotten elected governor of Alabama with that sort of nearsighted, absurd rhetoric. The black folk might disagree with you, however. "Letting things be" would evidently be fine and dandy if maintaining the status quo keeps your personal financial and societal status high.
Remarkably, sometimes laws are enacted that confound everyone (including the lawmakers who inexplicably managed to pass the Bills) by actually working and enriching the lives of millions. Waiting for people to "learn from their mistakes" does not and never has worked.

I only read the topic and to be honest I find it very silly. To me as a women that lived in Holland for many years felt no discrimination, equally lived in South Africa also no discrimination, now live in Mozambique and actually am doing very well in terms of my career. Thus I cannot relate to this topic, never understood the purpose of Feminism really. I think we have more important equal rights to fight for i.e. gay marriage and in other countries the equal rights for women.

Film director Aaron Russo once claimed that Nicholas Rockerfeller told him that the Rockerfeller Foundation bankrolled and promoted the womens lib movement of the 60's, officially as an emanciptation movement, but really it was an initiative to get more women into the work place where they could be taxed! |

Blacksword :) if they would legalize and tax the world oldest profession maybe there would be no austerity measures ;) it's like bootlegging you cannot stop it, might as well control and tax it in my opinion. |

I treat everyone equally.
I treat girls the same way I treat guys.
Which doesn't always mean: well
If I like you I'm good to you, if I don't well...
But there's no difference in how I behave towards people in regard to gender.
If that is "feminism" I have no f**kin clue. Like most words it's become all about debating the word, and getting worked up and all crazy over the word.
Like how most people really are "environmentalists" except some take that to mean "hippie liberal crap" so they fight against it, even though they recycle and try to be "green" and blah blah Actions matter, could care less what word you want attached to it.
So yeah, no idea what I am but I treat everyone the same, and not just in broad strokes. When out somewhere, we all know how most of my fellow males pull a 180, become actors, drop everything they do to impress a girl and IDK...that always seemed like: unequal treatment to me? Maybe I'm way off base and partly justifying my shyness but really, with me you get what you get, if ya like me or not great (regardless of gender).
Dear lord someone brought marxism into all this? Well PA never lets down, anything came become a debate about socialism! Edited by JJLehto - January 28 2014 at 07:38 |

You know you need to find the answer, why people are actually poor. Because of capitalism? Or it's because of high taxes that are the essence of modern socialism? If people are free to decide, free to work and they can save money it's a basic thing to create a well prospering middle class. If you create extra taxes and make'em higher and higher no wonder some people are poor. |

As men, or women, we have both aggressive and erotic drives. These cannot be ignored, but must be harnessed and ultimately expressed in a healthy fashion. I think that these are what get people into trouble, when they erupt into rape, violence, etc.
Ask any man or woman on the street how easy it really is to run rampant in society and abuse their freedom, and they will tell you that it is very easy. So no matter what political or societal system you are in, you will have Social Darwinism to deal with. |

I moved the last LSDisease rebuttal to the political discussion thread http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40226&PID=4932659#4932659. Feel free to continue there. This is not the place.
Oh and I haven't participated in this thrilling discussion as of yet due to the catastrophic lack of boobs Edited by Guldbamsen - January 28 2014 at 09:08 |

It may well be, but capitalism is hardly lilly white is it.. All political systems result in winners and losers, so neither system is perfect. Do you want dependency on state or on corporations? Personally I think both avenues of control absolutely suck. I don't know what the alternatives are though. If I did I probably wouldn't be doing the job that I am doing.. |

To think that Valerie Solanas got just THREE YEARS for shooting and wounding Andy Warhol, Mario Amaya and Warhol's manger Fred Hughes. Scum....
