Let's Talk Feminism

Feminism is about equality and freedom.


Equality per se, or equality in opportunity?


Equality in all levels.

Even in physical strength? I'll admit there are a few exceptions, but this is not normal. Present company excluded, of course. Happy New Year, Nik!

To me Feminism, besides the defence of the womens rights is an exaltation of femininity, you got it girl you flaunt it ! because we are ladies and we rock!!!!

Question: Are you an American in Spain, a proxy, or really a Spanish woman in Spain?

I'm curious.

Feminism at its core might have had the right idea but the current version of it has mutated into such a form that nothing but negative connotations can be drawn for it.

Spanish man..in a dress.

That version is on the run, I think. There is a whole new feminism that encourages women to make their own choices, even if that choice is to be the woman behind the man.

Physical strengths aside, should all this equality be enforced with quotas, etc?

Interesting. So, would you count me as a (third wave) feminist?

Even if the version is on the run, whether it be short-term or long-term... the damage has been done to both men and women. And I don't mean damage from early feminism, I mean this mutated form. The extreme form. The one that has taken the very ideals which made feminism something worth fighting for into a joke of its former self.

I'm just curious since Spain has always been a country where "male machismo" is prevalent. The men are typically very strong and outspoken. I've met many Spanish men, but not many Spanish women. I was wondering if the same could be said for them as well.

Traditionally, spanish speaking countries are a few years behind in this feminist movement... at least culturally-wise (is that even a word?)

No. I had this debate in uni a lot...I took political science and sociology. Where there were quotas. It is my opinion that you are most qualified or you are not. Having breasts should NEVER be a factor. Sadly, it seems to be so! And justified by the inequality card. Sigh.....

Some people call my mom a feminist because she did a lot of things ladies did do like hunt fish and shoot. She was the American woman to shoot in a sniper's match and was on the cover of magizines for her hunting skills. The whole time she was very feminine.

depends on circumstances, work wise women are taking over more and more prominent jobs,

there are still pockets of male chauvinism, it depends alot imo on the socio-economical background and the educational levelof the persons involved

It would appear that you are you dear and that is all that matters.

I agree. If it's not out of line, might I ask how old you are?

Looks like she didn't believe in wearing a bra either.

Im pretty tired of women using the term feminist when feminazi might be much more appropriate. Real feminists want equality not superiority!

To me...it means being allowed to make our own choices for own lifestyle. Not what men want..nor what other women want.

And really, as far as Im concerned, they have fucked up an awful lot of shit for women men and their children ...contrary to original intent I assume!




I think I <3 you, gsf!

Thanks Ds....I have noticed your posts...I could never opt for your lifestyle, but I respect that it works for you

And, I am sure there are plenty of feminists who would support your right to make your own choices. After all its what feminism is about ...right?

To be honest the word has been so overused to such a point of degradation that I coudlnt even apply it to myself anymore. Its gone way past the point of equality for all in my opinion.

So what would you say to a young woman who wants to get married and have a family and stay home to take care of her family, yet her own extended family looks down on her because of this? If her own extended family wants her to get a career and be "successful," but that is not what she wants?

Is that feminism still? Being able to make her own choice about what she wants to do with her life?

Feminism was a carefully constructed trap. A tool to divide us. It is as specious as any other ism.


It seems to me that they are not only dividing women form emn, but pitting women against each other in many cases.

thats all talk but you have to see the root of feminism the reason why feminism was born. It came to be because of the atrocious conditions many women had to live in and endure. Women were considered no more than property of their father first and husband later, so their luck depended on what cards they were handed out and the character of who would own them.
For a women to have a career was practically unthinkable.
For a women to have a higher education almost non existent
A woman was not allowed to own property , assets or have her own money in many cases, and could not dispose without husbands consent. This was tantamount to slavery...
and so on and so forth

Feminism is not an obligation, its a right. You dont have to be a feminist but feminism allows women who do want to have independence and a voice to do so.

What do you say to a women with two black eyes? Nothing, you've told her twice already.

Are these pockets of male chauvinism divided by social caste and financial settings or more of a regional thing?

I know that even though Spain is a small country... one town could be a complete 180 of a town just a few miles away. Isn't it one of the most diverse countries out there in terms of people?

I'm just always amazed. My sister is actually dating a man whose family is from Sevilla (IIRC) and these people are definitely nice, but headstrong and their family ideals fall in line with the more traditional family. The head of the family is the father, but the mother does have a say in the business and in the family decisions.

It's an interesting dynamic because it blends 1950's with this century.

She is wearing a bra she wore very thin ones. Your not the first to point that out.
