American Feminism is Going too Far

"I love that example of Henry VIII because it is so completely ignorant of the fact that one cannot simply kill a king. Yes technically his wives could have murdered him in his sleep, but they would have been executed for it." I hope you know they would have been executed regardless. Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn were beheaded. Out of all six wives only Catherine Parr made it out alive. Your argument is invalid as everyone, not just women, should and must fight for what they want. Every culture, individual, etc, has and will continue to do so as unfortunate as that is, that's life and if you can't take a good beating in this society that's on you to fight back and get what you believe you deserve. Things are not simply "given". Good morals is not a language everyone speaks, unfortunately. As far as your cute sexual harassment summary, carry some pepper spray, a taser, and a mobile phone. If they didn't want to be "harassed" they should have stopped it right away, not lead it on. This would be a lovely time to bring up Bill Cosby and his sexual encounters. Did these grad students really think a seventy year old man inviting them to a hotel room was going to give them a jigsaw puzzle? It's extremely easy to turn a man down, if that's what you want. Abortion, contraceptive use, discrimination in academia, and sexual harassment are issues on their own. I too am one hundred percent on-board with these rights given to everyone, however, this is not feminism going too far. Feminism going too far is when groups of women ask for too much, too soon, and all at once, when in the not-so-distant past they didn't try very hard for their rights, which is horrible, because it effects all of us women, myself included. Abortion is legal in a number of states and if a woman did not want to conceive she should have abstained or used contraceptives. Discrimination in academia is illegal, you can't get turned down or fall behind men because you are a woman, it just doesn't work that way. If a woman does not like how the education system is run, file a report, and give those in question a reason not to turn you away from anything. The reason I say feminism is going too far also, is that I know as individuals us women can get what we want if we work for it. If we keep asking for everything, that automatically makes us the weaker class, the second class. Being an angry feminist using only your words for equality is going to get you nowhere fast. Making children cuss in commercials for equality (https://youtu.be...) is absurd. Women asking for society to change their view points on topics they have already established is ridiculous. If you want a change, do that change for yourself. There's no reason why someone can't. To me, I think it's unfortunate how much attention these kinds of women get when the real attention should be going to somewhere much more beneficial. Women want a double standard that ceases to exist. They want to be treated like "ladies" but undermine the male race. If you want to be completely independent, by all means go ahead. However, you can't ask to be treated like men but also be treated like women if you want to erase the line between genders. http://time.com...
