Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

I've got quite a simple question that I just can't answer - why would a woman not be a feminist?

Surely everyone wants equality of opportunity, don't they?

Would appreciate the opinions of those feminists far wiser than I.

even intelligent and thoughtful men will have little of value to add to a discussion about what women think and feel

I pointed out that women have been bashed on this forum for being a sahp you cannot deny that. That reinforces one of the stereotypes. I have never been on an mra forum and I wouldn't go onto one either because most of them are dickheads

Again they aren't my mythical standards I didn't make the stereotypes nor am I the one that tells women that they can't be feminists because they are a sahp.

Why do you care?

Omg20 · 18/03/2011 23:13

When did I offend or belittle someone sorry I must have missed that.

I didn't come here to have a fight I came here to tell you why I thought that some women didn't want to be feminists. I have witnessed people on this forum tell people they can't be feminist if they are a sahp which plays into a stereotype and deters women from wanting to be feminist. I don't know why I have been asked if I was dropped on my head when I was a baby and called a twat.

Very childish imo.

Omg20 · 18/03/2011 23:21

I didn't insult anyone else or say anything that wasn't true.

Stewie if I really do that why have you agreed with me on a no. of occasions?

There are quite a no. of threads where I have agreed with everything on the op there are some I don't. That is the nature of debate. I don't insult people or their intelligence. That is why I am still on the forum and not banned.

You can't really misunderstand someone saying that being a sahp isn't feminist and/or miss mothers coming on and saying that they have been told that they aren't a feminist because they are a sahp.

You seem to be confusing this forum with feminism. Even if you thought it wasn't on this forum. It could be on any no. of blogs or forums.

I said that I have witnessed it. Not that I haven't.

Most thread on here are about debate and if they don't start out to be someone makes them inot a debate and if I disagree with them then I will say so. That is what a debate is about.

That is why I said most not all. If someone has been raped or subject to dv ofc you don't be so insensitive to start a debate on that thread.
