ORIGINAL: Darcyandthedark I don't know if I am good enough with words to explain my feelings on feminism. The issue is that to make women equal, means that someone somewhere loses equality. I am not a big lover of the fight for equality - it's one of those words that doesn't really do much and I am not into stepford. If I was to be labelled anything, it would be humanist, but not secular in particular. I do not see how feminism can ever assist any orientation. Feminism in itself creates inequality. Hey hunny, I know what you mean here and I think some veins of feminism really has created inequality, the idea that women deserve more than men really drives me nuts. A great example actually is Kramer vrs Kramer, I was amazed at how ahead of its time that film is. The wife has been saying how the child needs its mother and mothers are more important for their upbringing, then he takes the stand. He says something along the lines of you wanted the ability to go to work and be treated equally and I completely agreed and supported you but why is it that when it comes to children the gender difference is justified. This is one thing that I have really seen happen some women want to do it all, which rocks for them but inso doing they allow many men to do much less. As I have said before I do not believe that sex makes someone more or less capable of something, living up to notions of gender is what causes the pressure to fit into a norm.
