Women should "get their tits out" in order to be taken seriously?

171. You tried Sissy.

I understood what you were saying.


Here is the thing. (the following is my opinion and mine alone)

There is no one group of women that get to decide what feminism is. There are segments here on DU that seem to think quite the opposite. When challenged, they claim they are victims to the patriarchy. If it happens to be a woman that challenges this segment, the woman doing the challenging they have been accused of supporting the patriarchy, being an MRA supporter or just not knowledgeable enough to *get* the plight of women.

I say this because I was accused of all of those things for challenging that segment of DU.

I'm not a victim. I disagree with some feminist opinions here on DU. IMO, that doesn't make me a lessor woman, or a lessor feminist. I disagree. Why? They don't get the chance to define me.

And I think using the word 'Tit' as tho it were offensive is about as low as things can be when we start to really honestly talk about equality. For the record, I appreciate the OP. I think it was a valid question and worthy of discussion. Women have FAR FAR bigger fish to fry with regard to equality. This board spent an entire day discussing TITS. the word Tits became more important than a discussion about a woman, a sister-- who chose to use her body to fight a TRUE patriarchy.
.


That said, discussion -- especially on a message board -- should allow for honest disagreement. It is my opinion that you ran into something that is almost the opposite.

Almost.

IMO it makes me a woman who would rather not create enemies to further the cause of feminsim. I truly and honestly believe that there are far more men on DU that understand feminism and what we seek than the few who continually clam that men on DU are just 'pigs' and insensitive to what women want to achieve in the real world.

Truth be told, I generally find men and women on DU to be very supportive of women's equality.

OK, I am done being nice. (not directed at you Sissy)

Keerist. A woman decides to show her breasts for a damn cause is being villainized by some DU'rs for supporting her?



And i am going to say this:

PLEASE , DON'T try to tell me I don't understand.

I do.
