say what
I like soft things...so soft!
- MBTI
- INFJ
- Enneagram
- 5w4..maybe?
Because the system as it currently is will not allow any of us to be winners...it's already rigged
We can't keep fighting each other...men v's women, muslim v's christian, israeli v's palestinean, black v's white etc etc
The system has us all in its grip and we can' beat it while we are all fighing among ourselves
No that's not what i mean
I'd like to see a better balance for men AND women
farrell covers these issues in his talk much better than i can. It's a good talk because it makes you take a completely fresh look at how our society treats men
There's work and there's childcare. If the women are doing more work then it needs to become socially more acceptable for men to do more childcare
Things like that...we're not there yet and men are trapped in a bit of a limbo state at the moment where they can be judged quite harshly by different sections of the community whereas women can be either with no judgment
The law doesn't afford men the same amount of paternity leave as women get for maternity leave for example so even the state doesn't treat the sexes as equal in some regards
Women are constantly judged for pursing a career. They are constantly told that their place is to be a mother and a wife.
Feminism is about breaking the stereotypes for both men and women. People focus on the idea that women want to take something from men. Feminism asks that we all reevaluate what we're told a man and a woman should be. A woman asking for the same rights as a man is not fighting men, or trying to take away from men. She's asking for the same opportunities, freedoms (you might argue men are not free), and rights that men receive.
To accept that we're all equal now, is to accept the disempowerment and blatant power structures that already exist. We must break down stereotypes and the classification of people, and then begin to work together. Until then, unequal power will exist.
