YES! Well Said. As a youn man, I used to identify as a feminist....then I went out in to the world and I actually saw and experienced was was being justified under the flag of "Feminism" and "equal rights," and soon realized they weren't the same as what I had embraced years earlier. Today's feminism isn't about equal rights and equal responsibilties and equal accountability, rather it is about advancing women at ever turn, on every stage, at all cost , at the expense of men. Period.
@tbird123able Unless you've met all feminists, than you really can't generalize the group as a whole. Especially since today's feminist believes in many things. There are feminists who agreed with me and some who don't. Show me your proof that all of the feminists in the world want to put down men?
This is encouraging to see this material finding its was to lecture halls and larger audiences. I think its important to Identify this as an emerging problem that we have not quite seen the full effects of yet. Men who grew up going to school around this feminist culture probably will feel the physiological effects of being "the bad guy" or just being openly hated for something completely out of this control. Now you want to fix problems in outer countries? We have enough right here.
Feminism itself PROVES that women are not equals to men. Women need feminism like a cripple needs a wheelchair. In a world where men can walk on water, women need a boat. The boat is feminism and without it women would drown. Do I want women to drown? Certainly not, but I do feel they should just stay home where they will be safe and won't be shown time and time again they are not true equals. Men will never view women as true equals because that boat is just a dead give away that they're not!
This woman is just some jewish whiner. Don't waste your time reading the books of unscientific people like this woman. Feminists, like post modernists and communists need to study everything from a politically charged perspective.
Scientifically minded and honest people do not need such things. This woman is neither intelligent nor well educated, so why does she insist on speaking to rooms full of people? She has nothing of value to say.
I dispise feminism because of the constant male bashing. And just like she said, if all women decided to change their ways today. men will fall in line in order to LOVE YOU!
Stop making this differcult for yourself ladies.....
This woman is demonising so called extremists. Its really sad.
Without the extremists, many of the so called acceptable compromises wouldnt exist at all.
People like her wouldnt have a voice.
Denying history is like hitting your head in the wall.
Denying the problem, and although I agree that there are many women that need to understand the problem, it is still men, especially men in leadership and power positions that are directly responsible for the basic inequality.
One of the most fair and intelligent women I've heard. I am so glad there are people like her.
The modern radical feminists turned the entire movement into a mockery to an extent where a lot of women don't feel comfortable calling themselves feminists.
@Flare400 Well said. Fems tend ot demonize boys, make women constantly into victims who bear zero respons for their own behavior and decisions, and has made many females into sociopathic narcissists. This country is so screwed up now, with gender role confusion, especailly from men, who dont know how they are expected to act, etc.
@Flare400 Feminism was always a mockery though. They got the right to work (they always had it) they got the right to divorce in some countries(they had it for most of history, at least in europe) and they got the right to vote.
Once that happened they should have shut up, but the reason they didn't shut up was because this was never about womens rights, but about trying to artificially create equality through socio-economic means. This fails because of human biological inequality.Deal with it
I agree something needs to be done about malebashing by some of my fellow feminists. It's one of the things making men really bitter. Ex...I made it know on this site that I am a feminist and before I could get into ANY good discussions about it I got an arsenal of personal insults and hate speach hurled my way. Instead of any constructive dialogue I've be forced to be on the defensive by angry, bitter men and when I say I don't hate men they refuse to believe me. They must really be hurting.
She is right, men want the approval of women. But I'm one male who has learned it's a waste of time seeking the approval of women. More men need to seek self empowerment and abandon the waste of time that is pining for female attention.
To paraphrase Dr. King, the great initiative in this gender war is women's, therefore the initiative to stop it must be theirs. So I love how CHS says in this vid, "If you can change the women's minds, the men will follow."
Why can't more women be realists like Sommers? The ideas she articulates are so obvious, but it seems like very few contemporary women grasp them. Que lastima.
I read Christina Hoff Sommers' book "who stole feminism", it was really interesting and debunked the myth that feminism is a bout equality. Sure there are some feminists that subscribe to that idea but the radicals and the mainstreamers are out to secure rights for women where men don't have any either and for many of them it's a power trip, Gloria Steinham for instance, the great gender fascist. As Camilla Paglia said, she is Stalin.
I'll copy paste to all the nazi-feminists on the youtube this "blessed" message :
Go away and treat your psychic patology ...
