This stated here is indeed what feminism should be about. The present understanding of the movement is being greatly derailed by some as they have made it into a selfish, and somewhat hurtful endeavour. I personally think what would help the cause more is the direction you have proposed here which is more of silent and selfless participation which would not only be more effective but also more moral and less of the noise that is being made nowadays under the umbrella of feminism. I believe what would define the success of the feminist movement is not how much noise is made and how much dust is risen but how much genuine effort is invested by all involved with the goal towards equality. Indeed media coverage may be important to spread awareness and the like, but moderation is very important so that we don't have the real message drowned to the background while we chase frivolities.
Here's to a better world.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
To be silent and selfless is what women habe been for years. Autonomy means that all women habe a voice and a chance to live in whatever way is neaningful to them. If that means fighting, its their choice and if it was a man no one would qiestion him. Why? Simply because its a thing that boys are allowed to do. Its important that you dont moderate -- instead-- educate yourself and moderate yourself to adapt to a new world in which women are fully woke , fully independant, and completely varied in their thoughts, ideas, pursuits, and demeanors.
I don't think you got the right idea of what I'm trying to say here. Of course I don't mean literal silence. But go about the idea of feminism the way you see fit I only made my opinion known but please do read my comment carefully before saying things like 'the woman can do whatever she wants because if it was a man that did that he would not be questioned ' Now I did state clearly that the fight should be against subjugation and injustice. The feminist movement is way bigger than statements like "we should be able do this because the man is allowed to" I mean, how's that being independent? It's like a child throwing a tantrum that he wants something not necessarily because he needs it but because someone else has it. Independence is saying "I want to do this because I CAN do it" it should be about what's deserved and not because if the other person can do it then why can I not. Going about the struggle from that angle in my point of view would only case further rift and less solutions. Look at it this way: men don't do things simply because the woman is not allowed to do it. In the era of gender supremacy, men did things because they could. So the same way, the woman should get to the point where she does things because she wants to and she CAN and exempt of that whole contest. Feminism is not a competition between men and women. It's equality. I have no idea if i made sense but that's what I got
You points are superb @babysteve. Exactly my point. Thank you for this and I'm glad you read through it and thought of erring your view. It's much appreciated.
