It's already thursday again?? These weeks seems to become shorter. Or maybe, I've been actually busy. Hopefully the last - that makes me sound sophisticated.
So, Rebecca - that was one Facebook conversation!
Now, I'm all up for equality, but not feminism in particular. I mean, sure women should be appreciated and they should be acknowledged, and it's so good to see female bosses, etc.
But, we must remember that without men, we wouldn't be able to create life. Human life, at least. In decades, maybe lifetimes, scientists may have found a way to produce life without the male genes, and so the women will rule the world? And would that be a good thing? I don't hope so personally. Both genders were made for a reason, and the "balance" in nature would just go wild if anything was changed. (btw, nothing is scientifically proven, and whatever I say may not happen - I'm guessing)
Enough about equality and my opinion on that; now about making activism on Facebook. It's a good place, if you want to be heard. I see the point in standing up to your own gender, but I don't think that politics really belong to social medias. Don't get me wrong, all I'm saying is, that it wouldn't be nice to be looking at political parties discuss online, right?
it's kinda the same when you let the public talk about politics as well. We're all just so different, and what one may think is right, is dead wrong to another.
I thought the picture aggresive, sure, but for men. Men doesn't feel the need to show who's in power with signs and posters, they just feel confident enough to just say "I feel superior to your gender" which is 1. wrong, and 2. making the female gender inferior.
I think it's wrong to prejudice, a subject I'm sensitive about. In all sorts of ways - hating people before even caring to know them is wrong. Judging by looks and never wanting to see anything but hate - the things one might hate about a person - is so wrong.
I'll finish off in a lighter note; I hope you have a good easter (mine is great) and I hope you enjoy the holidays! (At least, Denmark has easter break now)
Uh! My recommendation this week will be this: put on light clothes, get out in the sun and read and listen to your iPods. The weather is so splendid!
DFTBA (:
Thanks for responding to my post :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to say that I don't believe that feminism goal is to make men obsolete (at least not the majority of the feminist movement...every movement has their crazies), and I definitely don't support that.
As far as facebook activism I pretty much agree with you, and I try not to actively create controversial discussions on the internet, because they often turn nasty, though I won't hesitate to respond to a comment in a discussion that's already been started if I feel it needs a response. On the other hand, avoiding confrontation, disputes and arguments is not an effective way of making progress (in anything), and sometimes people actually do listen to another person's side.
