In reply to the discussion: Why "fun feminism" should be consigned to the rubbish bin [View all]seabeyond
(110,159 posts)i am open to what i know and dont know and am not hesitant on stating it and learning and growing. to create a slight acknowledging i dont know all things to me is totally counterproductive. what i do know, having sons not yet 18 is the recruitment issue from the time the boys are very young, thru out their school years and making sure the paper is signed to keep that out of their life. now that i learned something i was unaware of, i will address that.
that is what i am saying about the innate desire for a fairness that comes so naturally to those in an oppressed group. and if i find in a feminist group the unjust representation of men, i am one that speaks up, though it will merely be with my own perceptions, knowledge and experience.
we do the best we can do as humans (i would hope, expect, desire) in all our imperfection. but to suggest that a whole of a movement must focus on ALL others to be legit when your movement, or the black movement or the gay movement focus on their issues, is typical conditioning of what and who female are suppose to be thru a patriarchal society that i reject.
