Post Is Feminism and Liberalism ruining America? Your thoughts...

I currently belong to an online political community that harvests lots of Conservatives. One in particular claims that Feminism and Liberalism is implementing the absolute pussification America. This guy who calls himself Ghost, also claims that the Republican party has been hijacked by Liberals and Feminists. Listen to his rhetoric.


I think that there may be some creedence in this man's point of view, but he comes across as a typical brash and blowhard Conservative. I'm just curious to see of all Conservatives thinks this way. Is Feminism and Liberalism ruining America?

I believe there is a very logical and obvious reason for why he comes off this way.

BTW is there some hidden meaning behind the large font? I'm guessing insecurity issues.

Clearly you are not harvesting enough: this forum is lousy with them. Is there a daily limit?

ps: I don't think the mods like trolling for other forums.

Feminism is saving america. Liberalism is kind of just arguing and taking us to gridlock. But in no way ruining.

Things have gotten better for women since I graduated from college, but there's still room for improvement. Discrimination against women is still alive and well in some places, including my former employer.

It seems that some people resent the progress women have made.

I sure hope you aren't doing that by hand. The labor costs can be astronomical.



Might I suggest some mechanization?

Default There's not enough of them.....

Feminism is not ruining America, it's just ruining women by keeping them victims of their circumstance. Everytime an injustice or preceived injustice is reinforced, it compels woman to wallow in self-pity and helplessness. Their glass is always half empty. There are more laws on the books to protect woman than ever before, and yet Hillary steered them back to days, of past discrimination, to re-live past hurts, resentments and what ever it takes, to prevent healing. By keeping the wounds fresh, she is guaranteed a following. Too bad, their being victimized twice, once by a bad case of the "poor me's", and again by leaders like Hillary, who hold the power to lead these poor sheep to slaughter.

Yeah, because when something isn't fair, the best way to deal with it is to ignore it and fall into place. Certainly it will go away with time.

Yeah, like when we gave them the vote. They were so much happier when they had no say in government.
They don't really want equal pay for equal job... That will just reinforce to them their victimization. Instead let us pay them less so that they will be empowered.

Because obviously there is absolutely NO inequality left. Obviously Hillary is just trying to hurt them... That's why she brings up issues- oh wait... don't those issues actually ring true with many women?

Yeah, because Hillary's main goal is to put them back in the kitchen, right?

I believe feminism has been taken too far in some instances. Giving women a right to vote was definitely good. Equal pay for equal work, also good. But in the process of women "empowering" themselves, children and family has been left by the wayside. Who is home raising our kids? No one, they are in daycare. Being raised by some stranger who probably has a house full, or worse a center with dozens of kids. Do you think these kids get the love, attention and direction they need to develop into great adults? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that women need to stay home and raise kids, men can stay home and do a fine job as well.

And what about the effects on men? Now all of the sudden it's cool to hate and bash men. Watch most sitcoms and commercials, men are portrayed as bumbling idiots. Either that, or men aren't allowed to be men. We men are expected to get in touch with our "feminine side". We need men to be men, and stand up for what's right against what's wrong. Not sit down and talk about "feelings".

So what I'm saying is that there has been some good done by the feminist movement, but I feel it has been taken too far.

So where would you have had it "stop?"
