Quoting aenigma x:
If it were not for the early extreme "bra burners" you would not be enjoying a lot of the freedom that you currently enjoy now 
|
You may not realise it but I am of the AGE of the bra burners!! And I remember it all very well. Anyway all I said was that I do not like the WORD feminist or feminism, but I prefer to call it equality!

I do beleive in equality for both sexes but I think fighting for womens rights went a little far in some cases. The women remain well known for there actions to make womens lives equal to men but some of them ended up losing their lives.
For example: Emily Davison threw herself infront of King George V's horses in support of the British suffragette movement.

 ....Yes, her and along with many other women at that time starved themselve and all sorts in even after being arrested. Some died of not eating and many were force fed.

Unfortunately I do not know one social struggle or fight for equality that has not involved considerable losses or 'drastic' measures. (I'm not talking about the killing of innocent people of course) It's sad that people have had to lose their lives or suffer torture to bring improvement for large groups. However, I for one am grateful for those who have and I doubt if we asked those who suffered or died to bring about a change if they thought it was too much- surely they would say no. Thinking of Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Cesar Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Marco (Free Speech Movement, U.C. Berkeley), Madres de la Plaza de Mayo and many others like them.

...and Yasser Arafat, of course!
It is quite strange and interesting that all these people, and many more, were considered as the terrorists of yesterday, but now as the heroes of today!

Quoting qdemir: Some women seem to highly regard Condoleezza Rice as exemplary, a model for them to emulate or, to follow in her footsteps. What a pity! |
