- NEW!

I don't agree that things have worked out just fine in history - but I do agree that feminism has messed up home life.
As a middle class woman in her twenties, I don't have the options open to me that were open to women in the past. I am a woman who would rather be a home-maker, have children etc, regardless of my intellect and education. I don't want to be forced to compete with men and yet it seems I am not offered many choices these days. There are many of us - the girls who despite their intelligence and educational chances are thinking at 18 of how they can find a job that will fit round their future children, or involve working with children.
I don't feel positive about feminism and would rather I had been born a couple of generations ago.

For the men, sure. For the women? I think that's a more open question.
Slavery also worked just fine throughout history... for the slave owners.

Going back 100 years, women were certainly not treated fairly. Even going back 30 years, there were still issued to be resolved. However, equal legal rights have been in place for a good 25 years or more. Modern western (North America and Europe at least) feminism is all about misandry and female superiority, nothing more.

Have you ever "lol'd" at a woman wearing a "This is what a Feminist looks like" shirt because she fits the stereotype so well?

I feel like I'm always wearing the same thing, I always cover my legs. I don't have sexy legs or remove the hair

You're reading Do you think feminism is a bunch of crap? Things worked just fine in history before feminism, I think it's messing up home life, don't you?

fact from fiction, truth from diction. Back when the relationship between men and women was more of a reciprocal thing. It was like the marriage of hardware and software. The computer we are all using needs both. Two piles of hardware and no software to run it or make it useful, you have some very interesting paperweights. Two piles of software and nothing to read it or use it for, you have some interesting drink coasters (the disc). The roles were more defined. God (or natural selection if that is your cup of tea) designed each to serve a purpose to support one leg of the union, not have 2 right feet or two left. If men and women were suppose to be the same we would have had Adam and Steve and not Adam and Eve.
