Re: Feminism

I intended this thread to be a launchpad for an invigorating discussion on the many downsides of feminism, not to be used by an aboriginal to share his inane two word insights.

I forsake you from this thread and have you earmarked for the future.

Haris Zuberi I order you to show this ruffian the door, after a complete chastisment.

Re: Feminism

Khumar, that’s the most pithiest response anyone can hope from someone who either doesn’t understand, doesn’t want to understand or lacking any response with substance can come up with…

You are welcome to refute him based on your knowledge whatever it may be…But this is a very AMerican response on the same par as ‘whateva’…

I expect more from you…

Atleast one amerikkkan yankee doodle has it right.

Re: Feminism

Yes, feminism won women a right to vote, a right to attend schools and gain higher education. Down with the devil! It's a natural order for women to be dumb and remain dumb. Damn those lesbians and their sick twisted plots!

Sarcasm aside, every movement ever started has had more than one side to it. It wasn't meant to turn women into men, it was meant to earn women the basic human rights. There are overzealous followers who can give it an ugly side, a bad name..and then there are those people who will only see the negative side of it all and exaggerate it to the extent of making a mockery of the basic ideals of the movement.

EDITED: Feminism is about making your own choices. If a woman wants to be a homemaker, more power to her( as long as it's not forced upon her), if she wants to balance work and home, good for her again( as long as she isn't being forced to do so).

Re: Feminism

Ignoring the rants of certain butch lesbians I present to you Iqbals 'The Ideal Women'

Fret not thyself
To calculate the profit and the loss,
Being content to tread the well-worn path

Our fathers went before. Be wary of
Time's depredations, and to thy broad breast
Gather thy children close; these meadow-chicks,
Unfledged as yet to fly, have fallen far
From their warm nest. High, high the carvings are
That wrestle with thy soul; be conscious still
And ever of thy model, Fatimah,
So that thy branch may bear a new Hussein,
Our garden blossom with the Golden Age.

And

The Glory of a Woman

Color in the portrait of universe is from woman,

From her warmth the inner warmth of life;
In glory her dust is greater than Plaedias,
Each glory is the hidden pearl of her shell;
Dialogues of Plato she could not write,
Yet Plato’s spark by her flame was broken.

Re: Feminism

its about time u stopped comparing women with sea shells, pearls, cows and other shyt. about time u stop worshipping the ideal woman in poems and got used to the woman working next to you who just got promoted to your supervisor
:hehe:

Re: Feminism

I am sick and tired of people calling a woman feminist if she speaks up for her right or fight for what she believes in. If a man does the same thing he gets a title of Jihad. I am sick and tired of hypocrisy in our society its getting to sick that I feel like I will bang someone if I were to hear it one more time or throw up on that person's face.

It’s absolutely remarkably amazing when you see a man holding a banner in front of a building protesting. He can get a label of a Jihad or a Freedom fighter whatever you may want to call. But if a woman holds a banner to fight for something she believes in she will get a label of Feminist.

And you guys stop giving me ideal women lecture from another man I will tell you what an ideal woman is.

An ideal woman is someone who is educated, has her career, manages her household and does her career work at the same time. Ideal woman is someone who has raised good Muslims with her husband and fulfils all of her deeds. Ideal woman is someone who speaks for her right who knows when and where to take the stand because Islam is fair to both men and women. Stop quoting these pathetic lousy husbands from the past. Such as Alama Iqbal- I give a lot of honor to the man for giving up so much in creation of Pakistan. I give credit to Jinnah as well but he was a failed husband as well.

People tell us that our prince charming does not exist our ideal does not exist. Then how come these guys have this ideal women idea stuck in their head.

I will honestly tell you all those guys who seek a woman to do their house hold chores to find someone from back home who is a lot less educated she will be your maid just the way you want it. Reason! Because an educated woman will show you how it should get done.

Another Male Ego Thread – I think men are afraid within next 20 years us women will hold most of the title in Corporate America and they will be left doing

The End!

Re: Feminism

I have mixed feelings on feminism. Whereas the basic demands that were espoused seem to be in tune with one's sense of gender justice, it seems that the academic's feminism is starkly different than that of the activists.

The feminism of (Western) academia sounds much too much like a grand old conspiracy theory, which borderlines on misandry and racism (as it pertains to 'Eastern' patriarchal cultures). <O:p</O:p

Perhaps it's the pure rhetorical nature of the arguments which grate on me (and all those otherwise rational, western-educated, and self-styled emancipated women who don't self-identify as feminist).

Re: Feminism

well said nia!

Re: Feminism

it is. while feminism when it started as a movement was fighting for better work conditions and pay for women...the "cosmopolitan feminism" of today tells women to pretty much act/look a certain way. it not only borders on materialism but degrades the worth of a woman. for example, a woman must wear a certain sort of heel height in order to feel respected by those around her. she's forever caught up in trying to figure the appropriate fitting of her shirt and length of her skirt in order to feel secure in the office. ofcourse in the end its her right to choose to be a certain way. but sometimes i wonder how many of our actions are actually chosen exclusively by us.

on the other hand opponents of the "good" feminism have for long time combatted it by attacking the feminists as "butch lesbians" "dykes" ugly fat women with mustaches" etc etc.

Re: Feminism

hahaha, yes, every woman who replies here is a butch lesbian and sayed actually has no views of his own, leeching on quotes from apparently bigoted sources.

If you want a rational arguement, try not to label people and kindly present your own views rather than quoting others.

Re: Feminism

I love feminist. I love feminism. They are my excuse for splitting the cheque.

spreadin' love for feminists and feminism one dinner at a time.

Re: Feminism

Is pithiest a word?
