Fatuity Is A Feminist Issue

It is very difficult broaching the subject of feminism in a critical way without heaping upon oneself vitriolic opprobrium from all quarters as I can personally testify!Just as any critical discussion of immigrstion prompts accusations of racism, so too the slightest criticism of the 'men and women are equal' mantra inspires even the most normmally rational folk to start hurling around choice epiphets like 'taliban',chauvinist, misogynist,'sexist' and such like.This of course has the usually intended purpose of closing down all discussion on the issue.

This 'winning by intimidation' tactic is favoured by the Left who have no real arguments to support their case but simply hope to bludgeon the opposition into silence.It is beyond dispute that feminism is a variant of leftism and you cannot have one without th other.It has promoted equality of the sexes from the beginning with deletrious results.Easy divorce,abortion,homosexuality,posivive discrimination in the workplace ad nauseam, are all standard leftist feminist agendas.No Conservative would support any of them.

Nico, no one wants to close down all discussion on the issue. That's what blogs are for: an exchange of ideas.

It seems to me in your last post about the fairer sex (Women's Proper Role
) that you said:

"What is women's proper role in society you ask? Very well, I will tell you.

1. To meet man's physical needs - seasonly, within marriage.

2. To bear children (not to rear them -that is man's job)

3 What was the third one? Oh yes, to do the dishes -to be man's help meet.

Thats it! In the words of Roy Masters who was once asked what is a woman's role in soociety: 'Nada,Nicht, Zilch -she has no role in society.'"

All three of these things describe a woman's body, her physical functions. She meets man's physical needs. She has his children. She manually labors. That's it. You completely ignore her person, her soul, that she is a human being with a brain that may need stimulation beyond sex, babies and dishes. Is she just a body to you?

Yet you go on to talk about female writers and Margaret Thatcher, etc. Women that didn't use their bodies but used their brains. The "exceptions." Rare birds, so say you.

What do you define as "having a role in society?" Roy encourages women to start their own businesses. If that isn't playing a role in society (one that just doesn't involve her body) I don't know what is. It seems in your disgust of the leftist, feminist agendas, you want women to don a spiritual burkah, and obliterate their soul. Why are you so strong on this? You make Roy look like a liberal.
