I am feminist but not
one of 'those' feminists

Abstract:
As a freshman I was going to the cafeteria with two new friends, Brent and Jen, when the subject of women's rights came up. Brent looked at us and said, "You guys aren't feminists or anything are you?"


Jen was quick to answer back, "No, those chicks are crazy....

If you are one of those type feminist (lol) then you must be a Princess Bubble fan as well. Every girl/woman I meet that expresses your same opinions has a copy of Princess Bubble on their coffee table and I laugh now when I visit someone and see the Princess Bubble book with this cult following. But, it does have a great message.

According to Merriam Webster, feminism is defined as, "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes." Under this definition of feminism, how could anyone not say they are a feminist?

Never. Insult. Fark.

It's like sticking your hand into a wasp's nest.

I completely agree with the traditional feminism, that men and women are (for the most part) equal. But the new feminism tries to go beyond that, asserting that women are BETTER than men.

For instance, how many TV shows portray fathers as wimpy, booze-drinking, football-watching, morons, while showing strong, independent women. I can think of quite a few.

And remember the Duke scandal? Nearly all the "feminists" rushed to the now-discredited rape "victim", because everyone knows that when a woman accuses a man, she is telling the truth.

"When that same candidate gets judged by her looks, her makeup and what she is wearing, it shows that feminism is still needed."

In 1960, the first presidential debate was aired on television, along with radio. After the debate, two surveys were conducted - one for tv viewers and one for radio listeners. When asked "who won the debate?" the TV viewers overwhelmingly thought JFK did. Radio listeners thought Nixon did.

That sound you hear is your argument's death rattle.

It's cute that your husband put a computer in the kitchen, but you really should just be using it to look up recipes.

How can you not know Mark Huckabee's first name? He's only going to be the next president of the United States. There's really no excuse for that even if you are a girl. It's not like it's math or anything.

If you have issue with the fact that Hillary Clinton is being marketed simply as "Hillary" perhaps you should take it up with her campaign staff. When her mass printed campaign signs simply say "Hillary '08" I think that she's probably in on the conspiracy.
