That's just an extension of the previous point made about feminism's gains being granted by men. Go back a few posts to follow the progression. I'm not repeating the whole argument for you.
Well, I went back several posts and discovered that you were not only mistaken, but that mistake was a deeply cynical, self indulgent worldview, wrapped in a tortilla of mysoginism and male privilege, bereft of any hint of side dishes of logc, rationality or humanity. So, that leaves it with you making assertions you believe self evident, yet are unable to demonstrate in a rational and scientific fashion. Kind of leaves you out their in the wilderness howling with the wolves.
Protection. Not subjugated...protected. Sheltered. Cared for. Privileged.
If George Orwell had not already laid the groundwork for the concept of doublespeak, your corruption of the word protection would require its introduction now.
Edit- if my argument is that the entirety of feminism relies upon the will of men to defend and enforce it, literally the worst thing you can do is come riding in like a white knight...you're just making my point for me.
Interesting. So, if men continue to declare their superiority, seek to exclude women from the upper echelons of society in general and the workplace in particular, insist on "protecting" the poor dears, and generally patronise them, then feminism will never achieve its aims. Wow! Such incisive logic. Thank
you for making
my point for
me. The enforcement that exists and that is challenged by feminism is the insistence that women are second class citizens requiring male protection and they better dang well take that protection and like it. (And have the children, raise them, keep the house clean, produce meals on time, etc.)
Sir Andy Murray, former world number 1 tennis player, winner of four grand slams and two Olympic Gold medals was being interviewed in 2018(?) after being knocked out of Wimbledon in the quarter finals by the American Sam Querry. He was asked by a reporter what significance he attached to Querry being the first American to reach the semi-finals of a major since 2009. Murray immediately corrected him "Male player", thereby politely reminding the reporter of the repeated appearance in finals and semi-finals by the Williams sisters throughout that interval. That's not the act of a White Knight, that's just a person reminding another person to respect the achievements and the capabilities of other people irrespective of their sex.
Now your comment above was not directed at me, but superficially might seem to be applicable to me, for the record.
I am not supporting or defending
@Paidiske. For one, she doesn't need such support. Rather I am defending her arguments and I am doing that for purely selfish reasons:
- I think when the general aims of feminism are attained society will be a better place for my children and grandchildren (and everybody else, but as I said I'm primarily motivated by personal interests.)
- I think the patriarchal and patronising nonsense you espouse should be called out and doing so gives me a (small) measure of satisfaction.
