I consider myself a Feminist, so let me try and help you out:
First of all you have to accept our existence. If you're a man it's probably difficult for you to truly understand WHY some Feminists express themselves-with that passion that so terrifies men. I mean, of course it terrifies guys when women are against the tactics of patriarchy. And by the way, let's not pretend patriarchy doesn't exist because it absolutely does. A lot of women, whether or not they classify themselves as Feminists, if they are self-respecting and strong individuals they will resent what patriarchy does/is doing to their lives. It's all-pervading.
I was walking down the street the other day and was counting the overwhelming number of exploitative images I saw, portraying women as objects of unnatural glamour or sexual servitude, put forward by a vast media structure, to which the eye of course belongs to the MALE. Yada yada.
If you're a woman, then surely you must have some sympathy with Feminists? Are you really comfortable with how misogynistic, patronizing, disrespectful and manipulative Western society can be towards women? Can you not see evidence of that all around us in porn, beauty-porn, sex, ECT? And please don't freak out and start branding me, saying I hate men, I hate sex, I'm just an all-round hater, because that's incorrect in every arena you could apply it to.
But this isn't about me; it's about you and your perspective. Suffice to say that, so long as you don't go on a genocidal rampage, it is your right to get pissed off with or dislike other peoples philosophies and ideals. But intolerence is another thing all together. Feminists have good reason to take a stand against patriarchy; I do believe this is something men will NEVER understand, because they have/are not suffering the abuse women have/are.
Is it normal I'm tired of feminists putting words into others' mouths?
