yes; feminists have taken the belief of feminism and turned it upside down, inside out. some make women look bad.

Amen sister. Very well put. \n\nI think the morals and values of this country have completely gone out the window, and I think feminism is the key problem. Who is raising our children?? Public school systems, tv, strangers (babysitters). It's sad. These kids have no sense of family value.\n\nWhat many feminists don't understand is that woman as matriarch over her family is entirly more powerful than a woman with a "career".

you want me to take seriously a website that says "beware the feminists, many are lesbians"??? How offensive.  Your fiction teacher is more a fem-nazi.  Being a feminist just means standing up for equal rights.  Chill.

If you want to answer the first one, search the web for charity, environmental, social justice, or other volunteer or activist groups who are being pro-active about making the world a better place.  Read up on what they are doing and try to think of some ideas of your own.\n\nAs for the second question, how the hell do you expect us to help you with THAT?!?  We don't even know you, much less know your strengths and weaknesses!  You'll just have to think and figure it out on your own!  Sheesh...

Women who were independent, free thinkers and those who did not follow the norm.  Also, any woman that the government/church felt was threatening to them.  Check out "The Crucible", it's a whole movie about witch trials.

I found a link which has information on forgotten heroines of the Civil War.  It is about the nurses who cared for soldiers\nin dire conditions and has articles on lots of them.\nIt looked interesting, and there seemed to be lots of other links to information about Civil War women.

Strong words, but to me this sounds like the same basic argument I hear from feminists. “Why have we abandoned the fight?”.\n\nIMO people have abandoned the fight because the fight has been fought and won. People were fighting to be free and to have equal rights and responsibilities. They have those things.  And one of the freedoms they have a freedoms to do whatever the hell they ant with their lives.\n\nIf a woman decides she wants to get married, have 6 kids and be a housewife for the next 60 years many feminists are outraged. When a black man decides they want to work a 9-5 job and never go into debt to buy a house you are outraged. What you are both forgetting is that freedom has to mean freedom. If people aren’t free to do those things just because YOU think they aren’t worthy lifestyles than they aren’t free at all. They’ve just exchanged Jim Crow for Johnson Pressley. Instead of being forced to sit at the back of the bus you would force them to sit at the back without realising that you are still telling them where to sit against there will.\n\nGive it a rest Buddy. Give your Brothers and Sisters the benefit of making their own decisions about how they live their lives.  I agree there are a lot of things stacked against black people in America, but people are free to fight against them if they wish. The point being that they have to wish to do so. You telling black men they have to fight those things even when they clearly don’t want to is simply racism directed at blacks by blacks. If anything that is worse than racism coming form whites. AT least when it was the whites the enemy was outside.

Women were not allowed to be in public office or vote in those days. The only powerful women in those days were the wives of the president, and not very powerful at that. \n\nAmerican women were not given the vote until 1920.

I don't think what you're talking about has much to do with women. I think women like that have always existed and always shall.\n\nHowever, I do think the feminist movement has turned women from respected members of society to sex objects. The feminist movement in the states in the 10s and 20s did something good, they can vote, university is more common, great things like that.\nThen came the fifties where women had to be the object of their husband, a rather difficult time.\nThe sixties took away everything that the 50s created, regardless of whether it was good or not. It taught men that women are sex objects and it taught women that sleeping around and never getting married justifies them. This ideal has spawned so many modern women that we have now, like the pussycat dolls. what a rolemodel.\n\nPersonally, I think a lady should have the right to do whatever she wants. But I think women should stop being thought of as sex objects because we do have brains and we work very hard to keep them.

I agree we need to get some ladies with good agenda into politics and let them have a chance to fix what the male politicos have been unable to.\n\nGood Luck and God Bless!!
