The feminists cheered and laughed when Michelle Duggar lost her baby

The feminists jeered and lacked empathy for he military mom who died leaving a husband and kids behind.

The feminists blamed a dad for his wife's depression

The feminists put down SAHMs

The feminists didn't see why a father who is not with the mother should get visitation during the first few months of the baby's life because it is hard enough for mom and that is her time to bond.

This is why I do not identify as a feminist. Do these feminists represent all feminists - no of course not. But that is the voice of modern feminism that now comes through loud and clear. I will loudly speak out for human rights (of all people) but I do not identify as a feminist, that word for me is tainted. [/quote]

Where in the world are you seeing these posts identified as being written by feminists???  It seems to me that you 1) disagree with the viewpoints expressed, and therefore, 2) attribute them to feminists because of some weird agenda you personally have.  There are so crazy whacked out people on this discussion board.  I can't say for certain because I don't read every thread and don't know who's posting, but they are generally not the voice of feminists today.

Why would you attribute the admittedly nasty responses to feminists?  You could just as easily, for example, attribute the military thread's nastiness to people who are anti-military.  Seems like you have a lens through which you are bound and determined to see things.[/quote

I don't have a weird agenda. I can't imagine anyone who holds a non feminist viewpoint or more traditional conservative viewpoint as [b]hating on women who stay at home or for having more than 1 or 2 children etc. That is the 'empowered' feminist viewpoint and it lacks empathy for those women that feminists view as choosing non empowered roles or making non self-fulfillment driven decisions.[/b] As I said there are people like 11:50 who would consider themselves feminists but who have respect for all women but that voice only comes through on occasion on this board. For the record I also do not agree with bashing working moms or any anti-women sentiment. [/quote]

See, there's your problem.  Those aren't feminists.  Those are assholes.  And guess what: YOU are a feminist!  Woo hoo!  No more armpit shaving for you![/quote]
