"5 Things Feminism Has Done for Me"

This could be fun. Add to Feminism's contributions to us:

- made me load a gun on Super Bowl games in anticipation of my beloved husband beating me to death at half-time.

- helped me realize that burqas are a whimsical fashion statement rather than a symbol of oppression.

- has given me the option to abort any inconvenient pregnancy like the woman that didn't want to have morning sickness nausea on her Carribean cruise.

- the right to remain as a non-productive slob in any job once I envoke sexual harassment charges.

- cry rape on any guy that I'm having sex with on a regular consentual basis, but, whom didn't acknowledge how pretty I am fast enough.

- keep custody of the kid's by accusing husband without merit of sexually abusing them.

I hope I'm doing this right. My God, looking at what I've written, I need to go hug the grandsons. Witches are real, children. Yikes.

Feminism costs Canada an estimated 60 billion dollars in lost productivity, nearly 5% of our GDP. Because businesses and governments are forced to hire women of lesser qualifactions over men, and our education system discourages men from fulfilling their full economic potential, and obscene family law effectively bakes a smaller economic pie for all, our economy suffers immensely.

Free sex and more free sex, and no responsibility. If I'm just an opressive rapist, why do they keep saying "yes" ?

Thanks to feminists for:

Providing copious ammunition to sexists that women really are inferior to men intellectually.

Making me (a woman) question the wisdom of giving the vote to women.

Thanks, Kathy. I can add some,

-established an ideology akin to a theocracy, rejecting debate and dissent and promoting a whole generation of women unable to do anything other than follow The Party Line - or be excluded and defined as 'not a valid woman'.

- set up an ideology where women can do no wrong, and men can do no right, within a theme of women as perpetual victims and men as perpetual abusers, ignoring the violence carried out by women against women, against children, against men.

- defined Life, and the embryo, as a commodity, an object, meant to be 'purchased' or 'rejected' by the personal whim of the woman. And only the woman. This ignores that humans are not objects; are not commodities and that the human being is a product of both the man and the woman. The feminist rejection of the man's equal contribution to the new life, and their transformation of life into a commodity, an object, is reprehensible. It also is hypocritical, for the feminist slogan is that the 'woman' is not an object'. But, feminists have done exactly that with children; they are objects.

-Spent millions and millions on irrelevant 'research' to 'prove their point' about women as victims. When analyzed, this research is nothing more than selective descriptions and subjective conclusions, without any validity in fact and databases.

-Utterly and completely ignored the real abuses of men and women, carried out within the Islamic fascist communities around the world.

oh, as the father of 3 daughters, let me tell you what the fem moonbats have done for us
1. lobbied for equity legislation in ontario that resulted in their father losing his job
2. provided protection for a boozehead mother, up to, and including defending her in court
3. created legislation that makes it almost impossible for the father to get custody, unless the mother is a crack ho(even then it is debatable)
4. lobbied to close private day care(which i needed badly), yet never did provide any spaces to replace the ones that were lost
5. basically has made me out to be a cave man because of the fact that i was a soldier, have a few tatoos, and i do not take any crap from any pseudo govt org.

"Made me feel more guilty about having sex with a man than the "evil" Catholic Church ever did, or could."

"Womyn" having sex with men? ewwwwww. Gross! ;)

If we're talking of the original women's movement type of feminism, I'd like to thank them for the opportunity to work in a traditionally male job. I'd like to thank me for making the most of that opportunity.

If we're talking about modern feminists, sorry, nothing good comes to mind. Others can and will list the bad.

Femisnism has brought women a culture of death .
For trying to destroy the male of the species.
For making boys feelly badly for being boys.
Foe helping destroy the family.
For making a mockery of the word equality.

Can't think of anything worthwhile...but:
1) Made ordinary men to be cast as demons who exist for the purpose of beating, raping and otherwise exploiting women.
2) Took most of the fun and spontaneity out of the workplace.
3) Got a lot of very good teachers fired for daring to challenge the tongue clucking finger waging scolds of the Political Correctness movement.
4) Made the civil service and many private businesses less efficient and more costly to run through "equity" hiring programs.
5) Got a lot of otherwise un-employable people into nice comfy jobs for which they are not qualified.

1. Denied me children by convincing women that pregnancy is an illness.

2. Germaine Greer.

3. Fulfilled my prediction that feminists would respond with a campaign of "What feminism has done for me".

4. My first wife.

5. Made me see the light about socialism so that now, I am a full fledged member of the vast right wing conspiracy.

Very powerful points ET.

I doubt that any "progressive" blogger would have the same view.

I'd personaly like to thank femminists for;
being called a sexist for opening a door for a lady
being treated like a potential rapist in my dating years
being told off by a female co-worker for offering to help with shared duties that involved heavy lifting
having the neighbor ask my wife if I was beating her because she heard me playing loudly with my kids
having my job threatened because I walked in on the cleaning crew in the MENS washroom

You have my sympathies, kingstonlad.

1. Feminism has ensured that men are the new Ni**ers of North America.

2. Feminism has ensured the epidemic breakdown of families.

3. Feminism has created epidemic numbers of neglected latch-key kids.

4. Feminism has encouraged child poverty in Canada by encouraging marriage breakdown and marginalizing fathers.

5. Feminism has then stepped in, with government funds, to “fix” the problem of women and children living in poverty, for which they, themselves, are responsible.

Feminism stinks.

For all their aggressive militancy, why don't contemporary feminazis declare war on fundamentalist Islam?

Do they not care at all that under pure Islam, the very existence of women is often barely even tolerated?

Aren't they at all concerned with the international spread of fundamentalist Islam?

Why do they instead want to wage war against Free World males, taking away mens' rights all the time? Like some kind of sexual fascists or supremacists?

Feminism today has nothing whatsoever to do with "equality". Oh, no... they want to be artificially superior to men, at taxpayer expense.

SoW should've had ALL funding cut off. As long as there are no taxpayer-funded mens' groups, there cannot, under the Charter, be taxpayer-funded womens' ones.

I thought we were already equal. So why SoW? Let leftists prove it's necessary, not just call the gov't "mean-spirited". Hell, leftists are as mean as hell themselves!

The critique of unreason

Stephen:

Excerpt:

"It is an unfortunate aspect of this age of emotion and subjectivism (one woman’s opinion is just as valid as those of dead males Voltaire, Plato, or Adam Smith) that we have lost the ability to argue why our way is the best, or even whether “the best” is determinable in a random and capricious universe." ...-

http://fallbackbelmont.blogspot.com/2006/09/critique-of-unreason.html

I predate the feministas and was one, the old-school kind, before they started making money out of it and warped it into a kvetch fest. Unlike these Janie come latelys I

1. Consider my sex to be irrelevant in terms of my success or failure in the workplace or elsewhere.
2. Expect everyone to be treated equally based on their merit or lack thereof not attributes they received at birth.
3. Have always got a kick out of people like Marilyn Monroe, Dolly Parton, even the Legally Blonde kid, because they are funny, have talent and can laugh at themselves - all the way to the bank.
4. Like men and prefer to hang out with them because they usually discuss subjects, not other people.
5. Don't blame my failures on anyone but myself.
6. Couldn't care less if anyone else agrees with me.

I wish to thank modern feminists for introducing me to the wonders of postmodern philosphy, and its agenda to snuff out the enlightenment.

Without postmodernism, I would never have known that rationality, empiricism, civil rights, and free enterprize were all tools of the oppressor, a huge smokescreen to prop up the white, eurocentric, militaristic patriarchy.

I mean, who woulda guessed?

'Ever wonder why the public education systems of this country are really soft on tough kids? Just look at all the female--aka feminist or feminist indoctrinated (I think I could almost have more respect for the former)--principals.

Like, "I Feel Your Pain" Clinton, these coddled women see problem kids as victims, while ignoring the multiple victims of these politically entitled barbarians.

Feminism exalts fictions while real people suffer. This ideology is as much a loser as fascism and communism and has created at least as many victims.

The CPC cuts to the feminist hypocrites and oppressors in this country is good news indeed. The only choice they've ever supported is their own anti-men, anti-children, anti-family, anti- genuine women agenda. When left to fend for themselves on the political scene, they'll, quite thankfully, disappear.

Five things feminism has done for me

1. I now regard women as I do men. No special courteseys

2. I expect women to work every day like men.

3. I don't expect women to cry when things go badly.

4. I expect them to understand infidelity.

5. I expect them to put up with the same shit I expect my male friends to put up with ... farting, burbing and swearing.

BTW, those "progressive bloggers" over at Dust My Broom, where this list started, belong to the Blogging Tories'! They've got a post there now, about the Canadian border guards in BC who are wimps.

They're "progressive" in that they're a lively bunch, but most of their threads would fit in here. They've got their finger on the pulse of what's wrong in Canada and they're open to ideas about what to do to fix it...

Kathryn said it best ... the first wave meant alot and opened doors that I could never have walked through. Good for me to actually take that walk ... It's a tough world when you're a female in a man's world, but what a great life.

Modern feminists ... just a pile of crap spews forth from their lesbian cake holes. They most definately don't speak for me and can't possibly understand my life.

Thanks to feminists for:

1. Turning women into sex objects.
2. The millions of unborn babies murdered.
3. My tax dollars wasted on frivolous research.
4. The rage against men.
5. The rage against women.

In other words ... thanks for NOTHING!!

Sorry! 'Missed a link to where this list REALLY started. With Polly Jones. Good grief.

I've been blogging too long today...pie-eyed...

I hope Ms. Jones is checking out SDA. She won't like what she sees!

Feminism has done nothing whatsoever for me. Rather it stands in sharp contract to my own life experiences and has been a clear roadmap of what not to do and how not to conduct oneself as a woman!
Time has not improved either their agenda or their outlook on life. They have been successful in:
Getting money from the government they should never have been able to garner.
They have enjoyed political clout they did not earn nor should have been given.
They tried and succeeded for years in making the 'stay at home' mom feel ashamed of her real desire to actually stay at home and raise her own kids. Of course, if she continues to work and pay for 'daycare' , it advances the feminist agenda to institutionalize our children rather than have them raised as they were born to be raised: at home by a parent.
They have excoriated the male sex and to what extent and with what result??: The male sex is not made to feel he is an equal half to a whole, rather an inferior drone of society existing only to 'make a living' and they have made sure that if a woman marries a man she gets to live off the fat of that land forevermore, no matter what the divorce documents say. AND ensure the courts act in favour of women out of all porportion to the facts laid before the judge.
Men have suffered as a sex in society ever since.
And continue to suffer.
This is not to say that individual cases can bely the norm, in both the women's issues and the men's issues.
Suffice to say that IF a man and woman divorce the best interests of the children, if any , should be the main focus and issue and all the legal ramifications should point to that ( oh, they SAY they do) rather than the woman making sure she gets the lion's share of any settlement out of all porportion to the realistic advancement of the children's rights and proper upbringing.
Often men are outcasts prevented from even seeing their kids. The woman gets the home and a generous settlement to see to the kids upbringing. What they often get and do not deserve is the 'spousal' support.
A woman in this day and age should reasonably expect to support herself after a generous amount of time for her to re-establish herself if she has been out of the workforce for some time.
All too often, what is asked for and indeed granted is a settlement out of whack with the circumstances presented at court.
Lies get told, women hold up other women as 'responsible' for the marriage breakdown.
We are not supposed, in law, to address that as an issue, only that the marriage has broken down and now we address the issue of how fairly to split the assets and see to it the kids are well looked after ( and THAT includes dad being involved in that upbringing rather than just being the cash cow and ostracized and demonized otherwise).
We have feminism to thank for that kind of thing happening here and in the states. And all it accomplishes is to ensure family breakdown. ((even in divorce families can and do ensure a co-hesive family unit) but the feminist and aggressive anti-male mindset makes it that much harder to achieve.

maz2 updates us on BS (BTW, Belinda means beautiful snake...hmmm...): "Belinda Stronach is refusing to comment on allegations that she's a marriage wrecker but says lurid media reports about her role in a high-profile divorce point to a sexist double standard. ..."

What double standard? Everyone's been as scathing about Tie Domie as they have been about Belinda. Feminism has given BS a great alibi in the "double standard," but you were there, and everybody knows it...

It taught me that boys can try out for girls teams.

Apparently feminists have also kidnapped and muzzled Andrew Coyne, who has thus been unable to update his blog in over two months.

Thank you feminism for taking my work (motherhood at home) and turning it into something that society thinks is something I should be able to do outside a 40 hour week in paid "important" employment.

Gee... Thanks. So. Much.

I will add my own thoughts to the list. Feminism has caused...

...me to feel less than a contributing member of society because I choose to stay at home and raise my children the way I feel they should be raised. I know I am doing the right thing for me and my family, but growing up in the 80's and 90's, I have doubts in the back of my mind that have nothing to do with reality. Instead it is due to the constant rabid feminism in schools and media while growing up.

...others to look at me at me with pity or as if I am a freeloader because they think I could not hack it in the workforce and therefore have to stay at home. People automatically assume certain stereotypes about me when they find I am at home.

...people to think that caring for other people's children is not a real job, although I give receipts, have expenses, pay taxes, just like any other self employed person.

...other people to wonder what I do with "all my spare time". My first daycare child arrives at 6:15am and last child leaves around 6:00pm. But this cannot possibly keep me busy because they cannot imagine there being any real work at home, because the only real work is in the workforce.

...me to realize that "my choice" does not really matter to feminists and even threatens them because it does not go with their agenda of the tough working woman who tramples on everyone, even her own family, to get what she wants. I am only making a choice if it is the choice they would make. Otherwise I must be opressed and downtrodden.

Da Wife and all mothers who work(ed) at home--I had to pursue work outside but would have rather been home with my kids--I salute you. Well done! Many blessings.

For all of the complaints that feminism - on its very little lonesome - turned an individualistic, can-do, independent culture into a culture of whiny victims, there sure as heck are a lot of whiny victims here complaining that they are helpless.

Pretty funny actually.

1. Cause a lot of VietNam guys like me with names like "Hondo" to talk a lot about marrying Asian women.
2. Make Michael Kinsley be regarded as the sexiest man in Washington, D.C.
3. Create the metrosexual movement.
4. Turn Wellesley, Sarah Lawrence, Vassar, Radcliffe, Agnes Scott, Smith, and other universities into havens of lesbianism.
5. Create the "LUG" phenomenon (lesbian until graduation).
(and a special bonus item:)
6. Cause it to be respectable to go out with a guy on campus, go to bed with him, and then charge him with rape if he doesn't call the next day. (got the last one from Camille Paglia)

google news

Where do I start?
1. I would like to thank the femenistas for lowering the qualifications standards and thus the competitiveness of Canadian industry.
2. Making women ignorant of the fact that a baby also shares the mother's body during pregnancy. Since the mother's body is the baby's too it's right to choose has been taken away.
3. Throwing out the father in a family and replacing his responsibilities with the state. The state is to be the father: bring in the money, protecting the family, providing baby sitting when necessary, helping raise the kids, etc.
4. Making women look like idiots in commercials so that they can be on the same level as the males who were suppose to be the idiots in the first place.
5. Making motherhood a bad thing. The state, through its unionised baby sitters, knows how to raise your child(ren) better than you.

The worst that has happened is the feminisation of the schools that makes school irrelevant to boys; thus the increase in the dropout rate for males. This explains the larger number of women enrolled in universities and why there are so few male teachers in elementary schools.

Sisters win legal battle, but fail to make boys' hockey team
Last Updated Tue, 26 Sep 2006 20:31:40 EDT
CBC News
The twin sisters who won the right to try out for their high school boys' hockey team after a long legal battle failed to make the squad after final cuts were announced Tuesday

Da Wife: Your five points actually made me teary, as it brought back all the slights and glazed eyes of "professional women" looking for others to talk to at a party when I'd tell them that I stayed home to care for my kids, back in the '80s.

Here's another list of five "gifts" the feminists gave me:

1. Duped me for ten years, beginning at university, into the dystopia of trying to be “equal” to men, by living as hard and fast as some of them: unhappy, unhealthy place for women.

2. Made me into a militant stay-at-home mom.

3. Made me an activist in trying to get the government to see how lop-sided and unfair their taxation policies were towards families with a stay-at-home parent to care for their kids: equal pay for kids of equal value. Tough sell, given all the feminists in the government.

4. Made me realize that this idea that women are better than men–for, unmasked, that’s the radical feminazi agenda in academe, the media, and government–is a crock. Made me very distrustful of women who claw their way to the top, convinced that they are “entitled.”

5. Made me certain that because kids, more than anything else, need a consisently caring and available adult to help them through the first years, the one agenda concerning their care that’s going to result in an epidemic of neglected kids and Clockwork Orange is the feminists’ blueprint for daycare: universal, government-funded holding tanks for kids--paid for by OUR tax dollars.

Hang in there, Da Wife, you're doing the most important job in the world. And when the feminists and their hateful and demeaning propaganda are getting you down, think of the people who love you and how important you are to them. That's what really counts. That's the only thing that counts.

Who said anything about being "helpless," Ted? I haven't a clue, really, what you're talking about.

I hear A LOT of justified frustration with being pushed to the back of the bus by the piggies-at-the-trough feminists, who don't seem to have a clue how "the average" Canadian woman lives--most of us not being entitled to government grants and perks--but helplessness? No way...

Please explain.

They have the right to enter mens dressing rooms.

Im waiting for the new supreme court ruling from the "extended interpretation" that insists that they get urinals as well. right now there are an excess of gunners in the womens washroom and not a single urinal.

but wait!!! what light through yonder cubicle breaks. its is the beast , and Juliet has her own.

http://rox.com/pix/womens-urinal/

First off, First wave feminists are inspirations, and I thank them regularly for my rights as a woman. There are countless women over the last century who have used these hard-earned rights to follow their dreams and live independant lives, in spite of modern feminism's attempts to brainwash them into dependence or power through marxism.

I HATE how modern feminists call those of us who disagree with them "anti-woman". It is my view that first wave feminists would be saying "um, neither women or men have real property rights in Canada today....." rather than "where's the lesbian welfare state to support weak women?"

Modern feminism:

1. Made me promiscuous in college and caused me to view this as empowerment and equality.

2. Caused me believe that killing unborn babies was just a sterile medical procedure crucial to my rights as a woman.

3. Caused me to view an alternate viewpoint, whether held by a male or female, as "masculine"

4. Caused me to believe that rationality and reason were masculine oppressive concepts, and as such negative.

5. Caused me to believe that I never wanted to have children, because they would enslave me.

Such good news on the cuts to SoW! Gwen Landolt has worked many years on trying to get the info out about the waste of taxpayers money.She deserves applause!
Feminism has taught me the importance of 'choice'
- I made the 'choice' to give up my career to stay home with my kids.
- my husband didn't'force' me to stay home...he encouraged me with my 'choice'
-if a man 'chooses' to hold the door open for me I am thankful
-I can 'choose' to be feminine and successful, instead trying to belittle masculinity.
-I can 'choose' to not have sex if I 'choose' to not be pregnant.

Ted, your assertion that there are "a lot of whiny victims here complaining that they are helpless" is ludicrous.

Back it up, man.

What I hear is strong, proud, independent-minded women, and those who support them, who haven't bought into the Zeitgeist. (Psst, I've taught a lot of kids with language processing problems. I'm sure I could help you out.)

1. For forcing the promotion of females beyond their abilities, just to get females promoted, and thus giving companies the right to point their fingers at the failed females as a reason not to promote us competent, qualified females, therefore setting us back 10 years or more.

2. Making only "working" females valuable to society.

3. Making MOM's think that they do not matter, because they do not "work".

4. Being intolerant towards people who do not agree with them, especially on abortion.

5. Making the rules so that the 100 pound female firefighter is the one going up the ladder to rescue the 250 pound man!

Oh, and the metrosexual, as mentioned in a post. What the heck is a metrosexual, and why would any self respecting male want to be one??

I'd like to thank feminism for teaching little boys that's its wrong to act like little boys. The resulting being a generation of men, who have no idea what a man is supposed to be.

The hand that rocks the cradle.
