Notice to Feminists

I started to notice something, and I'm tired of it.
Yes, for the record, my microphone SUCKS, and I sound like a therapist. I know. But I did this whole thing in less than 30 minutes. I think that's pretty snazzy.

There's a line between whats equal, and thats fair. I personally believe that femininity is bullshit. A girl can act however she wants, as can a guy. There's no reason to label an action as girly or manly. :/ I hate how people assume girls have to act a certain way, or guys have to act a certain way. I've always hated being treated like I can't understand some things just because I'm a guy, and from what I know, its much worse for women.

I hate inequality going both ways.

@ProxyPawaa The labeling was handy way back when it was important to make sure jobs got done. It was a lot easier to say "Women handle kids, house, food, and such and men handle providing, protecting, and such" because everyone knew what they had to do to keep the world running. It became a problem when those labels became barriers and it was impossible to step out of them. I don't care about how it's labeled as long as there is no stigma for either gender to do it.

@EraTomo

I hadn't even thought about it that way before, the fact is that in todays world, people are expected to follow those labels. :/ I know that as a rather feminine boy growing up I was always left out, wanting to hang with girls, and not quite fitting in with male expectations... If at the very least, those labels weren't as binding as they are today, I suppose I wouldn't mind them as much.

@ProxyPawaa I feel like at the least we're getting there. In my school I know many feminine boys who hang out with both girls and guys. I think with the introduction of homosexuals and the idea that men other than the typical "I am strong and manly" kind of men exist has helped to widen those barriers. We've still got a long way to go, and some places more than others, but I think with time the barriers will fall away, as long as every gets treated with respect.

One more question.

Would you describe yourself as an anti-feminist feminist?

[EraTomo]

-shrug- I have no preference? Or rather, I'm anti-feminazi. or maybe most points of feminism that aren't fair or are absurd (Who do you think you are, holding the door open for me?!) The fact that they are only pushing for good things for us, and not things like "Let's get women drafted too!" is incredibly annoying. It's either all or nothing, not "Watch us get the good points."

Feminist deep down want to be men!

[ProxyPawaa]

@NYBaller35 That wouldn't be entirely correct. Its more like I don't believe it impacts you more than your own choices and upbringing. In the end, hormones change things. But it is not the body itself, but others and your own reaction to that body that truly shapes your behavior in my eye. As such, a man can be as girly as he pleases. A woman can be as manly as they please. A weak person can become strong. A smart person can slack and fall behind. People are equal in potential.

[NYBaller35]

@ProxyPawaa so basically you dont think there is a biological basis to behavior? That's retarded

Nobody likes feminists, they're as popular as raisins on Halloween and are insufferable to be around.

Feminists have exploited women. Women that call themselves feminists are too fuckin' stupid to realize it.

I enjoyed this video. Men and women can be strong with the help of their individual personalities which can create many unique figures that exist in both fiction and reality. Spider-Man isn't what you call 'manly' but he is still regarded as a popular superhero. As I'm not macho (or feminized) but since I have a smart personality to identity with, I'm an unique character. Both sexes can come in different varieties and still be strong in their own perspective. Anime can teach a thing or two, huh?

@hpufo I don't think that they want to be men, not most of them. Because if they were men they would have to be responsible for their actions. They would have no one to blame their problems on. They would have to take care of the other gender instead of berate them. They may have to get jobs doing hard physical labor because no one will listen to their bs. They would have to sign up for selective service. They would have less reproductive rights. They would not get custody of the children

Women athletes cannot even hope to compete with men in most sports let alone beat them. I am sorry if this hurts your feelings. It is a cold hard fact.

@Erduk I do live in the United States. There are a few women who have realized this, but most are very closeted about it just because other women tear their faces off (or because they only talk to other women about it). Although I can see the danger in bringing this up to women unannounced.
