Women, according to lefty/liberals, cannot be equals to men on their own. Women require special considerations and social exemptions in order to appear equal.
Here's the thing that really irks me about feminism...I'm not a man. I don't want to be treated like a man. I want people to recognize that I am a woman and therefore different from a man. What I want is
equity, not
equality. There's a difference there.
Does this mean that I want my husband to be the one that fixes things around the house, shovels snow, changes the oil in my car? Possibly. (Okay, definitely on the shoveling part, the rest I'm okay with.) What I really want is for everyone-regardless of gender-to accept the fact that I have chosen my own path in life and to not tell me that because I am a SAHM and a regular churchgoer that I am a subservient female and unable to escape the chains of sexism that are inherent in my career choice and my religion. I am doing exactly the job I want to be doing, and it is my CHOICE to do so.
What really bugs me the most about these 'feminist, pro-choice' people is that they only support your choice if it is the one THEY think you should make. If you choose to belong to an organized religion, to get married, to stay home and take care of your children, then these women automatically discount you as a person. Where's the equality in that? Are my choices not as legitimate as the choice of a feminist who chooses to never marry, to sleep around and abort fetuses, to focus on herself and her career? Why are her choices more acceptable to feminists than mine?
Feminism is the worst thing to happen to women since the snake convinced Eve to eat the apple in the Garden of Eden.
