Feminism - Evolution and Indian Hypocricy

There have been a few things that have disturbed me while
debating with members in this net who advocate feminism and do
not expect a 'backlash' as the natural process of evolution.

As I had earlier stated that the feminist movement produced more
masculine females (U may debate this). IMO, it is only natural
for U feminists (females) to expect to be treated as we would
treat males. Since the feminist movement has done nothing but
helped womyn join the rat race, it is very hypocritical to expect
'favoured' behaviour.

When 'crude' (as defined by some) language is used then it
expected that U feminists do not get upset. In the 'evolution'
process its was U's, who as feminists, choose and fought to be
'equal' to men. 

But no - On the net we have these lovely womyn who will burn
their bras, but when it comes to taking the heat - they turn back
to their beloved culture at home and debate 'decency' and how
womyn whould be spoken to with respect. 

Have any of U, who have gone on about 'how the American is more
evolved', ever been in a conversation between young American men
and womyn. The womyn are not treated in any where close to the
way some of U have described them. One would believe that
American males were god sent to help U lovely people.

How true is the fact that most of U read your books and do not
socialise in pubs and night clubs. Many of U read books on
feminism by Susan Faludi and think U's know it all. 

I personally have no problem with feminism and the need to
express themselves in any way they want. What gets to me is this
hypocritical fluctuating between cultures. It is difficult to
have your cake and eat it too - Unless U meet up with some of
these 'suckers' (male) here on the net.


Male ignorance or hypocricy-

In the 'evolution' process we see a shift of power form a male
dominated world to an 'equal' one. As in any struggle where there
is a shift of power there is resentment before there is
acceptance. The males are fighting back and there is a
'backlash'.

A recent survey showed that Australia was the leading country
where womyn have made most progress (even more than in America:).
Another survey showed that it was the Australian womyn who was
also the most hated womyn in the world. 

My point here is that in this 'battle of the sexes' where the men
are losing - there is resentment. But that does not seem to be
the case with many of the males on the net who proclaim to be
'feminists' and agree to every, however absurd, claim made by
womyn on this net.

These men 'pretending' to be feminists have seemed to have jumped
the 'natural' middle step in the evolution process. This could
be, IMO, due to 2 reasons - either they are 'superior' are
'highly evolved Hitler's children' or they have never had the
'upper hand' when it has come to womyn or they do not have a clue
and do not/can not interpret things for themselves. 

They do not seem to realise the reduction of power. Or maybe they
never did have any.

My personal backlash:) U are welcome to rubbish it.

My opinions are mine. U may have them at a negotiated price.

Some readers may find the following offending. But I am just
exercising my right of expression. If it offends U that is your
problem - I have warned U.

Any person (male/female) who wishes to debate the issues above
is more than welcome to do so. If however U have a problem with
the 'symbols' I use or the 'verbal diarrhoea' I spit out - I have
some serious advice for U.

Leave your computer terminal, go to the nearest supermarket, buy
a cucumber, go home and peel it with your potato peeler and stick
it up our arse.

Don't ask me how that will help but its an alternative to
counting up to 10 before U reply:)

WHAT U FIND VULGAR - I MIGHT NOT
WHAT U FIND TO BE NATURAL HUMAN BEHAVIOUR - I CONSIDER TO BE
HYPOCRITICAL
