<p>I’m plain.</p>
<p>If I had to hire someone between two people with the same stats, of course I’d hire the one who looks better. That said, me liking your face does not necessarily correlate with popular standards on attractiveness. I might like your face based on the fact that you have a hilarious moustache. If you were gorgeous like a runway model, I’ll probably have to turn you down because the radiation hurts my eyes.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You don’t take someone who wants equality between the sexes seriously? Oh… Good to know.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You are confusing feminists and women’s rights</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve seen Mean Girls. I am led to believe all teenage girls are evil, maniacal, shrewd, and ruthless beings that seek to assert their dominance… regardless of looks</p>
<p>“Mean Girls” was . . . frighteningly accurate.</p>
<p>^^^ No, I think you’re the one confused. Look up what a real feminist is rather than eating up with the media wants you to believe.</p>
<p>
There are always inherent inequalities between the sexes that are just a function of our biology. As far as pragmatic things like equal pay, equal sufferage, etc–who says this has anything to do with feminism anymore (which I think is the operative word)?</p>
<p>^^^ There are several different types of feminists. It’s laughable to make a statement like that. Here’s a good list: [Types</a> of Feminism : SparkCharts](<a href=“http://sparkcharts.sparknotes.com/womens/womens/section4.php]Types”>http://sparkcharts.sparknotes.com/womens/womens/section4.php)</p>
<p>When I told my dad I didn’t want him walking me down the aisle, I was making a feminist stand although I didn’t know it at the time. It doesn’t always have to be about social/ workplace equality. It can be about cultural traditions, too.</p>
<p>^The only thing that list is good for is wiping my ass. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>HAHAHAHAHAHA</p>
<p>Feminism is a disgusting, obsolete ideology. The only thing it’s good for nowadays is rewriting history so that it appears that women are actually superior (i.e. not equal to) to men. Sad but true. I respect its original aims e.g. women’s suffrage but it’s time that we stopped referring to the systematic reconstruction of the past as “feminism” as if it were something to be praised.</p>
<p>The only people who say that kind of **** are the people who are too closed minded and stupid to actually do any /legitimate/ research whatsoever before they open their mouths.</p>
<p>So a list of idelologies isn’t credible if you don’t agree with one of the ideas on it? Yeah, that makes sense. So you wouldn’t find a list of religions credible if it listed a belief system you didn’t agree with? </p>
<p>Well, aren’t you a fantastic little representitive for Cornell.</p>
<p>@Caillebotte</p>
<p>I took Environmental Ethics this semester. We learned about Ecofeminism. It is more ridiculous the more you learn about it. I did well on my midterm question about it though because I just said the words “oppression” and “patriarchy” a lot, haha.</p>
<p>
Exactly. Recasting everything through a “feminist” lens is one of the biggest farces is academia. The original pragmatic aims of American feminism have been obsolete for while. Name one thing that women don’t have the opportunity to do. Seriously, name ONE THING. The only things that are categorically unavailable for women today are the Navy SEALs and professional sports. If women are so adamant about equality in everything, why aren’t the arenas of the WNBA packed with thousands of women in a show of solidarity instead of the typical 17 people in attendance. Oh yeah, because those thousands of women are at all the NBA and NFL games I go to, enjoying men do it better. Not everything needs to be equal.</p>
<p>American women for the most part are the most spoiled, entitled, obese brats on the planet. Unless you’re a girl living in Saudi Arabia or the Islamic Republic of Iran, st fu about equality. You’ve got it made.</p>
<p>
Dude I don’t even want to know. It’s amazing how these frauds have jobs.</p>
<p>lol I can’t even take you people seriously right now. Have fun wallowing in your own ignorance.</p>
<p>There isn’t anything Black Americans can’t do that White Americans can do, either. Wow, that must mean that racism is over!</p>
<p>Why don’t you explain why women are still getting beaten to death by their own husbands in their own homes? I’ll give you a hint: it’s not really because she burnt the roast.</p>
<p>
Throwing aside your strawmen and idiotic attempts at sarcasm, I will say that isolated instances of extreme domestic violence implicate nothing about a culture of patriarchy or some BS like modern feminism doctrine would lead you to believe. Some women marry sociopaths who kill them, while some women are sociopaths who drown their children in a bathtub. Neither has anything to do with gender philosophy. For every 1 man you find who beats his wife, I’ll find you 100,000 who don’t. </p>
<p>If you think modern feminism is going to stop isolated sociopath males from beating/killing their wives, then you’re profoundly stupid.</p>
<p>HA! </p>
<p>Your entire argument in #54 was based on the idea that women shouldn’t complain about inequality because there’s not but 2 things women don’t have the opportunity to do. Equal opportunity does not mean true equality or the end of sexism! It’s how women valued that matters in feminism now. There is no reason why women still aren’t earning the same pay for the same work (yet we’re not). There is no reason for my finacee to think he’s not going to be doing the same amount of housework that I will (yet he does). There is no reason why a man would be willing to pay for his son to go to college but not his daughter, simply because of their genders (yet that happens, too).</p>
<p>As for domestic violence, it’s ONE out of FOUR women who will suffer abuse from their boyfriend/ husband either physically, emotionally, or sexually. One out of THREE will experience at least one physical assault by their husband/ boyfriend. If you don’t think it has to do with power, you’re sadly mistaken.</p>
<p>Maybe, as a man, you haven’t had to think about this. But, as a woman, I have to say, I don’t want to wake up to my husband flipping me over and I don’t want to work twice as hard as a man to get as far in my career.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>While I respect your position, I have to argue that patriarchy is almost a biological property of humankind because of the human male’s stronger physique, higher levels of testosterone, higher degree of pugnacity etc. Like calliebotte said, if you truly think that you’re going to stop a few sociopaths from getting drunk and beating their wives and children through the avenue of feminism you’re dismally wrong. frame it as “domestic abuse” and I’ll support you, but if you look at it as a women’s rights issue then it’s clear you’re using the suffering of others for political gain and to assert the superiority that modern society promotes.</p>
