What is a feminist
I'm not sure anymore. Do women still use this term to describe someone who thinks there should be equality between the sexes. I mean ofcourse there should. On this planet why shouldn't there be. If there's not it's obviously a human devised inequality and one that men have put in place so that they can be boss in gender different situations.
An example of how much this affects some of them was shown by that outburst of bleating by that news guy at the BBC. Women start getting good jobs in the media, though not incidentally the very top jobs, and he's yelling that it's going to reduce men to the point where they're just unemployed sperm donors.
Is this meant to panic men? Make women feel sorry for them?
What?
Why did he even feel a need to comment on it at all. Men still seem to have most of the top jobs everywhere.
I mean the comment was beyond stupid. Is it just some kind of ego thing.
I have quite a few male friends who found the outburst odd but they weren't surprised. One said to me it's just the same as racist remarks along the same lines. Quite a lot of men really have a stake in maintaining a power unbalance.
But what do they think is going to happen if women have more of the top jobs. Nothing really I wouldn't have thought except that their own pay might be a bit less. Why are people like this guy seething with so much anger and coming out with remarks that are so strange. You work in the media petal, look round everywhere ... men are in charge if that's what's worrying you. A few media jobs go to women and in his mind this has men in the position of umemployed sperm donors.
Did he think that he was sending out a warning to young men. Watch it mate, or you'll be the one home sticking the nappies in the dustbin. Or, for the more ecologically correct, in the washing machine.
Really strange.
Well,though I haven't nswered my own question. I think I can safely say that this bloke is not a feminist.
Do many men really see women as the enemy like this. You know compartmentalising like this. Or is it partly his age.
