It's not hyped up, trust me. You have to be a woman to understand that. Just as you have to be gay to understand how descrimination hurts their status as a group of people. You can't truly understand descrimination if you have never experienced it. Today, it's not about freedom in the west as much as it is about descrimination and injustice.
Because men are no more important than women. When you acknowledge men's abilities to do pretty much everything while neglecting ours as if we can't do much, you are denying us our RIGHTS and undermining our confidence. Men have dominated the world for so long because they are physically stronger than women. Women SHOULD be protected because they are weaker, but this doesn't mean you confine them to their homes.
Let me say few words here:
You seem to be confused of certain things and assuming a great deal in the matter.
In this matter of women's so called lib or fighting for freedom, a monster is created and women are hyped up to fight against this made up monster and they are fooled by the idea that fighting with this monster is the one of the most important thing to do in this world.
1- Men are no more important than women. It is your assumption.
2- Men's ability to do everything is your assumption. Tell me who says it?
3- Women can't do much? Who says it?
4- There is no denial of their rights either. Who denies their rights?
5- Yes men have dominated the world in many areas and will continue to in many areas. But there are so many other areas women do have important role to play and instead of playing those roles they want to imitate men and in return end up doing the double work.
6- Who wants women to be confined to their home? Where did you read it?
No, who says women copy men? They are doing what they didn't have the freedom to do before. They were doing what men would have frowned upon 60 years ago. They are not copying they are doing what they could have done years ago, MEN just didn't let them.
:) Give me examples of what they are doing now that they were not doing before so called freedom?
Give me examples what they could have done before and now they are doing?
What ideas?
Ideas which create a monster out of nothing. Read above examples.
WHAT? How many women do you know who have haircuts like MEN? How many women do you know who dress like men? You have women working ALL types of jobs now, hardly any of them have men haircut or men clothing. Most career women are quite fashionable, they buy what's in style whether it's haircut or clothes. Going by what you said, either all men are gay or all women are butches. Which one is it?
You made a monster in your head again.
Where did I mention this what you wrote and how did you come in to this conclusion?
No need to get so serious.
What I simply said is that copying men in many ways is considered being free.
This includes jobs, dressing, sports etc.
Men don't usually do that. While a career woman is proud of wearing a jacket and tie and short hair like men. Well she is a"free woman!" A career man or businessman will not feel so proud of wearing skirt and have pierced ear or long hair. Men take no pride in playing "girly sports" but women feel 'free' if they are playing football ( a manly game). Golf was created by men for predominantly men. (Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden-a common interpretation), and yet women feel 'free' when they play golf. Why can't they create their own sport? Do you see the fun and light sarcasm here? ;)
I think it is women who feel inferior by themselves and try to mimic/imitate men to feel proud of themselves that they are 'free' and 'equal' to men.
What do you mean? What does it mean to be a woman? Why can't men be men? Just because we assigned these gender roles doesn't mean they ought to be that way forever. You just have to look at the kingdom animalia to understand this. There are many many species where the FEMALE hunts and the MALE protects the territory...so you have to ask yourself, aren't we the ones who set these roles?
Well, that is a great question I asked.
Why can't women be women?
What is wrong with that?
You mentioned about Females hunt and male protects the territory. So females have a role and males have another role even in other species. (even though I have a fundamental problem with giving other species examples and using them universally)
At any rate: didn't you just agree with 'assigning the roles' whatever they may be? :)
Please remember:
"Equality or Freedom does not mean Similarity!"
If everything I have said is assumption then everything you have just written here is a mere assumption too. You will never understand this unless you are made to realize your self worth and have people around you who keep reminding you that you are no good. I could write a 4000 words essay here but I don’t have that kind of time. Step outside of your world and ask around and see what women of ALL nations have to say about this. It is anything but a hype. It is a very serious issue.
