I have been hearing more and more about feminism these days and the woman's struggle. What really gets me is how feminism as an ideology is just fine and dandy. I'm all about equality and those good things so long as it is fair and reasonable. I am also all about supporting women wanting to be successful and wield power in the world. I am even all about having equal work opportunities for women and men alike. But that is not what Feminism is all about. Speaking to feminists who are not self enlightened is the worst of experiences.
Feminists do not want equality. They want the systemic oppression of men. They want to be the "ruling class". They look at men the way Nazis looked at jews. Inferior, dangerous and a problem that needs eradicating. They are unwilling to look realistically at the differences between women and men to enlighten themselves about the reality of any "discrimination". Feminists will say they want equal work for equal pay. They say that women are paid less than men in America. This point can be easily stricken down when we analyze that claim. A majority of women workers go for lowered salary jobs like teaching or social work. To say that as a whole group men make more than women is not a bad thing at all. The numbers just show that at the current time men take jobs that pay more while women go for jobs that fulfill them more. The numbers do not show that on an individual basis if a company is hiring for the same position in two different branches of a company and one branch hires a man and the other a woman the man will get a higher salary.
Quick google search brought up this:
http://www.iwpr.org/publications/pubs/the-gender-wage-gap-by-occupation-1/but I'm sure there's more easily found.
"Women’s median earnings are lower than men’s in nearly all occupations, whether they work in occupations predominantly done by women, occupations predominantly done by men, or occupations with a more even mix of men and women."
I'd kind of like to explore this a little more, though. You say that women generally go for lower paying jobs, but could it actually be that those jobs pay less than others
because it's work many women are drawn to? Meaning you could trace the histories of those jobs back to when people didn't even argue about why women made less than men and it was just a simple fact that men made more and they were considered the main breadwinners. When wage equality hadn't even been considered, and women made less simple because their husbands were expected to make a lot more. Could that maybe have carried over today? Is it fair? Did the free market simply determine that educators and social workers shouldn't make much money, or was it possibly that men, being at the "top" decided that "manly" jobs were worth more to society than others?
I don't have any answers, just lots of questions.
I remember back when I was a young boy probably around 6 or 7th grade. We had an assignment which required us to group up and create a society. Give some rules to it and the ideologies that would be held by the governing body and all that fun stuff. A majority of the groups made societies that were more or less functional and would for the most part be decent societies to live in. But there was this one group that consisted of all females. They come up to the front of the class to present their "ideal" society. This fucking cunt has the audacity to speculate that the worlds problems would all be solved if men were kept underground and used exclusively for breeding purposes. She goes on to talk about how amazing this society would be since there would be no men to do bad things. At the end of it the teacher basically praised her saying that they all did excellent on this project. I may have been young but I knew this was not okay. This caused me to realize the truth about feminism and women in general.
Oppressed by the half baked ideas of 14 year old girls? Uhm...
The feminist argument of only keeping men for breeding purposes is something I have heard time and time again from countless women ranging in tones from half-joking to completely serious. I even recently saw an article in which a very prominent feminist is pushing for the widespread propagation of this ideology. This is the part of feminism that proves to me that a majority of feminists are really just man hating women. I have heard this idea from countless women but never once have I heard its converse from any man. In other words no man would make the argument that women should only be kept around for breeding purposes even though it would make far more sense in terms of practicality (which is something i will elaborate on if asked but will leave be for now). Men would never say this because we love women. Men chose not to think of a world where you do not see any women unless you are going to the breeding center because it would be a shitty depressing world. Also if any man ever said the converse of the feminist breeding argument consider the backlash they would get! "Oh so women are only good for sex?" "Its ignorant to think of a society in which women amount to nothing more than sex slaves".
Maybe there is a reason that men have been the authority for so long...
I don't think you understand what feminism even is.
