[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flame away on my post but I'm going to say it anyways.  I can't stand the women who call themselves feminists but then freak out when their DH calls them a bitch after she calls him an asshole.  As another poster pointed out, half the women I know who consider themselves feminists use the biggest double standard I've ever seen.  If I call my DH an asshole, I really don't care if he calls me a bitch.  We both used words we shouldn't have used.  I don't call him abusive because that would make me abusive in an equal world right?  So many of these threads are "I want to cheat on my DH" and the people write back, yeah your DH is a jerk, he doesn't help aroudn the house enough etc etc.  Whenever there is a thread about a guy wanting to cheat on his wife, he's attacked.  Yeah...really treated equally huh?  I just feel like there are people who claim to be feminists but only want the equal rights that would benefit them, but also want to keep the inequality that makes them seen as someone who is fragile and needs to be treated delicately.  Maybe I just have "poser femininist" friends, but it drives me insane.

I also feel, that unfortunately, the views on feminism have been tainted by people who take it to the extreme.  I'm all for being able to feed my baby when he's hungry, but I also understand that if I pop my boob out in a crowded mall, some people are going to be uncomfortable.  Which is why I try to find a more private place.  But, I think the people who freak the eff out over someone being uncomfortable with it and then causing a huge commotion, have tainted what feminism is.  Just my two cents[/quote]

It's interesting that your framework for defining feminism involves cheating spouses and name calling.  I'm telling you, you don't understand it.  You just don't.  [/quote]

I think that poster is just using examples....not defining it with them.  [/quote]

One in the same in this context.[/quote]
