Male Domination of Philosphy

Here is an idea … I think both men and women wield a lot of power to influence others around them to get what they want. The amount of power they use depends on their ability and position. Somewhere eventually people gripe and groan but they eventually settle and accept the position they are in … that for me is balance. We all have struggles it does not mean necessarily way should be made … so long as we are following a rule that exercises equality. But if we are exercising grace, chivalry and kindness to women as they did in the past - then women would find themselves not in the position of competing with men, but being taken care of by men. The fact that the modern woman sees it horrid to be “taken care of by anyone other than themselves” and yet at the same time “want their treatment in the workplace to be changed” - there is root conflict right here, in the mindset of the modern feminist.

Do men make way for the women in the workplace? Or should women compete like every other man for position? Is equality too large of a pill to swallow for both men and women? Why are we not asking the real question?

Is equality the way we see it today - fair?
You see all of this power and influencing and this whole debate of equality is founded on selfishness … The higher morality is to be charitable to others.

Should we not concentrate on how men and women, blacks and whites, old and young, etc … can please and favour each other instead?

I don’t know what to make of that sentence. I’m bitterly disappointed to read that, so disappointed that I didn’t even feel like replying to it.

Psyah, women do not want workplace treatment to be changed, women want workplace sexism to stop! There is a huge huge difference and I find the wording of your sentence incredibly surprising and extremely distasteful. Discrimination of any kind is a terrible terrible thing, sexism is just one those terrible things, it impacts both men and women. I don’t understand why we cannot just talk about the real issue in hand? What is the difficulty.

You are free to foster high levels of disdain and contempt for modern day feminism, it wouldn’t surprise me, but for your own sake, do not pass such ill thought and ill researched remarks - it makes the reader feel a little sick.

No disrespect intended to you but I had to express my disgust over that post.
