In my opinion, anyone who aims to be viewed or treated as superior has serious issues concerning thier sense of self worth.
Individual women who seek to be as successful as individual men lack ambition, but women as a group wanting to be equal with men as a group is aiming at exactly the right level.
I think Norma Jean's quote is an egotistical slam against other women. She is not a team player.
BTW: Ladies please be sex positive. It's the key to unlock masculine empathy.
If anyone is aiming too low, it's men's rights supporters, as they're still pretty much non-existent, to my dismay.
People should just realize that though innate physiological differences between genders exist, no one's value should be calculated as a reflection of a sweeping generalization of one's gender. We are just ourselves before we are our gender or our physical selves. The sum of men are taller and stronger, the sum of women are more emotional and sensitive, but that doesn't mean that John can't feel or Joan can't stand up for herself.
On the top level of the hierarchy, people are people. We should be judged personally, not as part of a category, whether it be gender, sexuality, or race.
We've a long, long way to go with women's rights for sure, but beyond that, we have a longer way to go with human rights in general. Hating on a group of people because you feel that group of people is responsible for suppressing your group of people is not making progress, it's going backward.
I think men and women should have equal rights and equal rules and expectations socially (it should not be ok for women to hit men and it should not be socially unacceptable for a woman to conduct herself like a man, sexually) but I will never ascribe to the idea that men and women who are comfortable with being inherently masculine and feminine, respectively, should feel ashamed of playing the roles they are playing.
I don't think women should be attempting to dominate men specifically. Equality isn't about power and control. It's about cooperation.
Feminism needs to go, it's a movement for the easily led that think they get own the concept of equality ("If you don't agree with feminism, you oppose equallity, yada, yada)".
I mean, did you see that "Ban Bossy" crap. Three successful women complaining that the word bossy stops women from being leaders and successful and that they were called bossy growing up...Apparently they missed the part that if they are successful and the boss of their career and were called bossy growing up that their whole argument falls apart, aside from the obvious fact that if a word can squash someone's capabilities, then why would people want such a person to lead them, etc, etc.
Feminism all in is just ridiculous, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
