Makes me wonder what I would be defined as ??
whilst I am very feminine in that I like being a woman in every sense of the word; I also believe in equality of the sexes when it comes to earning and choosing a living. That being said, I enjoyed this post and the emotion it invoked; thank you Dave

Ouch!
I am not sure if feminists should be blamed for the things they are. True feminism means giving opportuntiy to men and women alike and not perpetuating gender and sexual stereotypes. I for one do not believe that women can only flourish in the home among husbands and children, They need the outside world and the outside world needs them. WOmen more than anything I think need to feel that theya re loves and chersihed for what and who theya re - part of the human species with a mind, body and soul.

Soul_builder, I will say that in all of my 70 years, I have never had a one-night stand and I don't think that I have missed out on anything at all.

Re: Those are not feminists
Shall I call them Jezebels doing the work of satan? They are in the majority, as far as I see. From the Health Center to Employment to Workmens Comp.....they are there! One of the them said.... The game is unfair, but if he doesn't leave here, he will have such a good time! Who cares for the pleasures of the flesh scripted by these Jezebels? Not I! Nice talking to you!

Those are not feminists
Just as many self-identified Christians have not the love of Christ in them, so there are people who hate men who think that makes them feminists. It isn't so.
True feminists and true Christians are about positive aspects of the female sex and of Christ. The negative stuff is just poison in masquerade.

Re: Interesting but a point...
Thanks Halfeleven! Very interesting comment and info! I did not know that men could be 'feminists'. I am not bashing, rather these truths were displayed to me by the feminists themselves. Men are dogs, they said. They should be put in a barrel and dropped in the sea! For over 30 years I have been victimized by them, and it is still so. Why would they gang up on me? What did I do to them? Is it simply being equal or is it being superior and domineering? Why leave out peaceful co-existence and opt for suppressing me? Is it game-playing? And, my observations are that this kind of arrogant behavior is dished out to males who are generally mild-tempered? If they develop hatred for men and the predators are the first they interface with...then who stimulated the hate? I wish they had left me alone. Instead I was criticized for walking too close to Christ. Now, who really bashed who? My life is my witness! It is really sad. I know that you wish to understand too. Why can't they leave me be? I haven't found one walking my way yet! I probably gave up already! Thanks and I regret my different experiences. It is all true!

Interesting but a point...
This line... "
When the deeper need for love asserts itself, these girls blame males for putting them on the path of non-fulfillment. They become feminists."
You seem to be equating feminism with victimhood here. I don't get it. This sounds like gratuitous female-bashing to me. As if you had defined feminists as "women who blame men for everything wrong in their lives."
That's not so. I know many joyful feminists, male and female, who celebrate the simultaneous equality and difference between the sexes. Yes, men can be feminists while remaining masculine, even macho. And women can be feminists without hating or disliking men, even while loving them and their masculine ways.
The rest of what you write resonates on several levels as true. Perhaps the part I don't get is true to your experience. If so, that's ultimately sad.
Keep writing and better luck finding the right sort of feminist, the yin to the male yang.

Re: So true, so true!
Thanks Kolekshuns! Women have to break away from degradation via passion. Believing in God and living to please him is a foundation that has been ignored.....until disillusionment sets in! Choices have to be made, early!

In his article he writes, "trust is based on monogamy". Not true...TRUST is based on accepting one another AS IS.....knowing that no matter what you NEED, your partner is there to help you find it.....vice versa. I don't believe in monogamy and feel it's unnatural for a person to be sexually committed to ONLY ONE OTHER during their ENITIRE adult life. It's a waste of energy.....especially sexual energy. I have had several one-night (sometime two-night) stands.....never regretted them. Once again, sex and love.......two DIFFERENT things.

So true, so true!
As a woman and mother myself, women need to have more respect for them-
selves and teach their daughters to do the same. A man will go as far as
woman let them. The women set the standards for the country whether they
realize it or not. Life is too precious, especially now for one-night-stands.
There are too many diseases out there and some we don't even know about
now. Something has to change to get us back on track. This is a very
informative post. Thanks for sharing.
