FOR WOMEN! Why do you allow femenists to tell you who you are?

Femenists believe that a woman who stays home and raises kids are stuck in the past and idiots. But what is more important then rasing a child? The hand the rocks the cradle rocks the world.


Then on the flip side society tells a woman that she has to be a size zero with DD and a perfect body then take off her clothes and show skin for them to be noticed or worth while.


Let me tell you something. My wife is the most beautiful woman to me and it is not skin deep. She knows that she is a daughter of GOD and God Doesn't make junk. She is modest and so beautiful. I wish other women would realize their own potential and stop listening to society telling them they aren't worth anything and they are no good!





Why do you show skin to be noticed and disregard your female instincts?

I've said it before, I'll say it again... if you have to take your clothes off to prove you're a woman, you're not much of a woman.

why do you allow feminist to tell you who you are


is that right ?


well my answer would be


its just a change from men telling us who they want us to be


OK with that
Reply:I'm gay, but my girlfriend didn't tell me, I figured it out all for myself. My ex-husband didn't tell me either. And by the way, I don't dress in a way that shows my skin, I am modest in my skirts that come below the knee, my shorts that come to my knee, my dresses that usually drag the floor, and my Nightmare before Christmas t-shirt and my Rob Zombie t-shirt and my GNR t-shirts, and sometimes I'm even modest in my nightgowns unless I'm trying to get some from my girlfriend, and then I show a little skin. I don't see anything wrong with that. By the way, we're both feminine, but not necessarily feminists. We are how we want to be and no man or woman or group tells us what "that" is. Isn't that the way it should be? Aren't ppl supposed to be themselves and not be told where "their place" is by anyone? That's how it SHOULD be. We do live in a free country after all.
Reply:Hmmm, nice generalization. I think you also misunderstand the originating ideals of feminism, but I will agree that the ideals behind feminism have basically died off.





However, I believe it takes two parents to raise a child - and that a father at home can be an equally loving, caring and effective parent. Over the years, my spouse and I have traded off the parental responsibilities, as should be. When I couldn't, he went on the school field trips and both the kids and teachers loved having him there. When my son was an infant, he was the stay home parent, so much so that my son wanted his grandpa, not his grandma, when we went to visit.





My husband spent years being the major financial contributor of the family; now that our eldest is in college and youngest in high school, it is my turn to be the major breadwinner, and his turn to be the at home parent.





I recognize my potential and embrace the opportunity to give back to him all he has given to me.





My female instincts have led me to working outside the home and to allowing the father to bond with his children - as should be.





How's your bond with your kids?Are you as close to them as you could be? have you realized your potential as a father?





I commend you for your devotion and obvious love for your wife - so rare these days.





BTW? I wear jeans and T shirts, or period accurate clothing for my work - non of that includes fake boobs, showing off skin, or acting like a tramp. I remember desparing finding clothes for my daughter when she was young; most stores seemed to have junior miss prostitute sections. My daughter, as an adult, also doesn't flash the skin - she sees no need to, because she is secure and confident in herslef - because we raised her to be so.
Reply:Feminists DO NOT believe that women who stay at home and raise children are stuck in the past. The just believe that if a woman chooses a different path, that she should be allowed to do so. I consider myself a feminist, and I have been a stay at home mom for 3 years, though I recently went back to school to become a nurse. The image of women portrayed in the media is a sad one. This is the type of thing that feminists are fighting against. Feminism is about being your own person. A woman should be allowed to choose to be a size 0 with DD if she wants, but she shouldn't be forced into that mold or any other mold. Feminism is about women having the same rights as men. It's about not letting anyone, male or female, tell you who you are what the 'right' or 'womanly' or 'lady-like' thing to do is. That's what feminism is about.


As far as the showing skin thing goes, many women are taught through friend, the media and society in general that your only attractive if a man thinks you are. That's why some women choose to display their skin (be it cleavage or whatever). Lots of men find that appealing, and for some women, the whole goal in life is to find a mate.


Does that clarify things for you?
