Wow this thread is still kickin'

Guess there are a lot of disgruntled males out there.

But really, I wouldn't have much of a problem with feminism if it actually respected women itself. The feminine aspects such as child rearing, home-making, etc. have been downgraded by the feminist hate machine, who interpret gender roles in terms of power struggles and tell women that they should be out there working men's jobs. Traditional female roles are entirely discredited! Yes women should have the RIGHT to CHOOSE whatever they want to do in life (a right they've had for decades). But they shouldn't be told that a way of life that has persisted for millennia and which is a fair and healthy familial organization is worthless.

Let me tell you if I was a woman who wanted a family I would jump for joy at the opportunity to stay home with my kids while dad pays the bills. But noooooo, feminists have to interpret this as 'males confining females to the home.' Such BS. Life is not about twisting things into a POWER STRUGGLE it's about being content to engage gender differences in terms of complementarity.

The Ojibwe have a ritual where, at the beginning of a ceremony, the men proceed into the lodge followed by the women. Ask a feminist about this and she'll say: "see, the men are dominant! they force the women to walk behind them!" Ask an Ojibwe about this and she'll say: "see, the men go forth to protect the women! and the women are behind to support the men!"

It's all about interpretation and the feminists have twisted it beyond reasonable thought.
