feminism
the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.
Just a thought and I can see me getting my butt handed to me but if feminism is about equality of sexes then should it not support both sexes?
I understand alot of issues in the world directly affect women but sometimes I fine feminism to be used as a big hate compain against men when really it should be bringing us all together and creating a fair and equal society.
Dont get me wrong im all for what feminism is but sometimes I feel that the idea of equality.
An example
I cant say all women do but alot objectify men on their appearance. I seem many people on here talk about "sexy" men in a derogatory way. A crush that makes their "fanny tingle" (yes iv read that) is no different to a guy saying a woman makes his cock hard.
A guy looking at a women body and making derogatory comments is no different from a female seeing a topless guys and making comments about his body.
However there are movements about how men should not look at a womans body and be aroused by it. That is just basic biology
Porn is another example people focus on the women in porn but there are just as many men in porn and alot of women watch porn. The idea that women in porn make unreachable expectations of how a woman should look and behave in the bedroom can be an issue with men in porn. Be it gay, tv or heterosexual.
Who is speaking up for them men?
The idea that women can only be sexually assaulted when I know many males who have been.
Who is sticking up for them men?
The pension age is lower for females, we have the choice of terminating a pregnancy regardless of how a male thinks or feels, we more often then not get full custody of children.
And thats just a few examples.
I often think the true meaning of equality is forgotten.
Right light me up
