I guess you come from some strict male-dominated, oppressive religious group, because no one in their right mind would try to demonise feminism and women’s rights!
Feminism is not about ‘hating’ men or ‘demonising’ men. It’s about EQUALITY OF THE SEXES.
Not all women chose to marry. Not all women choose to have children. And that’s the whole point: We have a CHOICE. Our lives are OURS, to do with them what we want. Not to have a man dictate to us what we can and can’t do, what we can and can’t say, who we can and can’t socialise with.
Women now have freedom of choice over our own bodies (for example rape within marriage is now punishable under law). We are still struggling to get equal pay for the same jobs as men and top jobs (just look at how few women are in top political jobs compared to men).
Yes: In grey divorce situations, global statistics reveal that it’s mainly women age 50+ who are divorcing their husbands, rather than the males being the initiators. But all I can say is ‘thank Christ’ that women have ‘an out’ from ****e, unfulfilling, sometimes abusive relationships. We’ve come out of the dark ages and into the light and no one, you or any of your extremist view friends are going to shove us back Millenia.
Life may not all be a bed of roses. Modern life is busy, challenging and at times, stressful. But does that mean women should stay in a miserable relationship and be a ‘dutiful’ wife, ‘serving’ her husband’s every whim and putting up with tantrums and being treated as a second class citizen who should be seen but not heard? HELL NO!
I’d rather be temporarily sad when my marriage ends, than stuck in a loop of ongoing misery for all my life. I’m empowered as a feminist to buy my own home, have a career, choose my friends, my hobbies, to travel, to dress how I wish to dress (no burka for sure), to be proud of my feminine form and sexuality. To laugh openly, to drive, to start my own business, to chose who I have sex with. In other words: I have freedom of choice, freedom of association and freedom of expression - Those are basic rights recognised by the UN Convention on Human Rights. Freedom ‘to’ do and freedom ‘from’ oppression.
I’m pleased that you wrote your post on here because it shows the world that people who try to ‘put women in their place’ are still very much out there and we must be wary of your type. Subtle, yet powerful words that aim to confuse women. But you see, guardians of women’s’ rights are also ‘out and about’ and we’re calling out people like you. Revealing your toxic rhetoric as the spiteful, cajoling, manipulative attempt at persuading women that they are less than men and that they are ‘wrong’ in standing up for their rights.
Equality means equal. No more. No less, but EQUAL rights. Anything less is oppressive, unfair and thankfully in most countries-Illegal.
Bet your a man using a phoney female name... your propaganda will lead men and women to a life of ruin. People please don't be gullible and take " Frans " bad advice.
