I’M A WOMAN AND I HATE FEMINISM
Before I explain why I don’t support feminism, I want to give you a little bit of my personal background, as that will probably clarify why I think the way that I do.
I was home schooled and raised in a conservative, Christian family. I believe in the traditional family values and gender roles. I vote Republican. I have strong social and political opinions that I’m not afraid to share.
You most likely automatically have an image of who I am forming in your mind, and I can guarantee that I don’t fit into that box you just put me in.
The ‘feminist’ movement started in the U.S. near the end of the 19th century as women started to fight for the right to vote.
The definition of feminism is as follows: the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
Sounds pretty good, right? It is, but only when it is kept in this context and not blown out of proportion as it is in our modern society. The problem with modern-day feminism is that women involved in this movement want to pick and choose in what areas of their lives they want equality with men. Rather than choosing true and complete equality, they want to still be able to pull the ‘oh, I’m a woman, I can’t do that’ card.
For women to gain true and complete equality with men, they must put away that card. This card was automatically pulled as the rumor arose that the U.S. military would open the required Selective Service draft to women.
On this topic, I have to agree with the feminists. I do not believe that females, especially teenage girls who have just turned eighteen years old, should be drafted.
But if you want true equality, shouldn’t you want to be drafted? Isn’t that just one step closer to the gap between men and women being closed?
Complete equality would mean gender roles being completely abolished. The abolishment of gender roles, something biologically determined by the sex of a person, would mean that men could be women and women could be men. And to some extent, this is already happening as being ‘transgender’ is becoming more and more widely accepted. I won’t get started on that, for that is a whole other topic altogether.
I hate feminism because it has destroyed the respect that a woman has for a man. There is a double standard in relationships when it comes to how men treat women. If women are opposed to being paid for on a date or having their car door opened, then how are men supposed to act? Should we, as women, just ignore their polite and chivalrous acts? If women still want to be treated with respect by men, they have to, in turn, respect the man that is being respectful.
Rather than disregarding an act that someone has put effort into doing, accept it. Just because a man pulls out your chair at the dinner table does not mean that he is being degrading. No, it’s quite the opposite. He is putting you before himself and going out of his way to show you that he respects you.
Man was created before woman by God for a reason. Woman was created from the rib of a man for a reason. This was not because men are supposed to take advantage of or use us just for sexual pleasure. God created man and woman this way because a man is supposed to protect ? woman.
The bible directly speaks of women respecting men, and vice versa. Ephesians 5:33 says, “However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband”.
With that, feminism is also lacking in coherent thinking, as women are expecting things that will, in the end, break down the walls between gender roles. They are expecting every man to conform to their thoughts and ideas, demanding ‘more respect’ and ‘equal rights’. In reality, these feminists are exemplifying less than respectful attitudes toward the men who are willing to go far beyond what is necessary to show their respect in a traditional relationship.
I hate feminism because it is desperate.
Feminism is absolutely desperate for any attention that it can get- positive or negative.
As with many social issues in today’s society, feminism is slammed into the media. U.S. citizens are willing to vote for Hillary Clinton simply because she is a woman. They disregard her lies and dishonesty with the world, and focus on her sex.
But they seem to completely ignore this, because feminists are desperate for someone to support their skewed ideas and obsession with equality, even if that support is coming from a liar and a killer.
I hate modern feminism because it has taken complete advantage of what the original feminists were working so hard to gain: political and economic equality. Now, they not only expect political and economic equality, but also social equality and, in many cases, even the ‘right’ to kill their unborn child simply because they believe they have the authority to take that life into their own hands.
Feminism has become so corrupt over the past 100 years that it has lost its true meaning. No longer are women concerned with their families or home lives, but instead are so obsessed with having the same job position and yearly salary as a man that they seemed to have forgotten what it means to be a woman.
I believe that women were created with a specific purpose.
We are meant to be caregivers, not killers.
We are meant to take care of our homes and families, not stay at the office late and keep our children in daycare until the moment it closes.
I hate feminism because it has destroyed the traditional family values and crushed gender roles.
I hate feminism because of the lives that have been taken simply because it was an inconvenient time to have a baby.
I hate feminism because it is just one more thing that is pushing this world past the point of no return.
