laowai Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I watched this segment of Stossel(I hadn't heard of it either) on Fox today and found it an incredibly insightful segment. The segment is called 'Playing the Victim' and discusses many of the things we talk about on here; and what I noticed is how all these victims are always feminists, hence my theory that feminists are just whinging victims and no longer a legitimate movement. http://www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/stossel/blog/2015/09/30/victimhood
Donnadogsoth Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 When were feminists ever a legitimate movement, in your view?
laowai Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Never. I think feminists have always been whingers. Sure women did have legitimate causes regarding voting; but apart from that I feel a lot of the causes they have championed have been disingenuous. In essence they are just women who are only concerned with themselves. Instead of feminism the movement should be called me-ism. Just read this article about how the Australian Governments Prime Ministers top adviser, Peter Credlin, is whinging about how hard it is for women in politics. Someone in the comment section points out she is a "me-ist" and I thought that was such an apt summary of what feminists are all about: themselves. Feminism aka me-ism. Oh, here we go.Didnt take long.I do not understand how possibly she thinks she has done anything for women at all? Marry into power and then prove you are not good at your job is antitheses of this. If anything she has done the opposite of feminism.Take responsibility for your own actions for once. Drink driving that is not gender specific at all. And stop blaming everyone else for it other than where the responsibility really belongs. WITH YOU. Its really about what far right wingers really think. And Annabel is happily one of them. Me me me.These far right wing types are all the same. They are not feminists. Nor progressives as they claim to be. They are me-ists. All the days and nights long. source http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-23/crabb-a-lesson-on-what-it-means-to-be-a-woman-in-high-office/6798602
