Feminism: In a girl's POV

We're about to get deep today guys...hang on to your computer chairs. (or your mobile device, whatever)

I came across an article by an awesome blogger. You can read it here. And I agree with everything he has to say.

We're in a world where women are fighting for more rights then we have. Remember 1920 when we won our rights in the first place? That was epic! We do deserve to vote, and to have the same kind of jobs and all that. But let me ask you, is this battle of being EXACTLY like men a good idea? Just think about it, even now, some women say that men are useless, we don't need them, we can do everything ourselves.

We all have our own roles in the world, and each role is VERY important. Us women? We can have all the children, which is kind of important. We're STRONG in that role, we can do it without fail almost every time. We're good at so many things, don't step into the role of a man, then who's going to do all that stuff? 

Men are in charge of protecting and going to war, and working on the houses. And they're GOOD at it. It's their thing! Just think about a world without men right now. Just THINK about it. Go on, do it.

Yeah...kind of scary right? They're important. As are us women, we're important too. Now imagine a world without women.

Oy.

And I'm not saying that we should go back in time when we had like no rights at all, because we do deserve them. I'm saying that we should just be happy with what we've reached, we should be PROUD of where we are. Not wanting more and more and more and more, until there isn't anything left for the guys to do.

Guys need their jobs, come on ladies. We all need each other. They couldn't do stuff without us either!

I often think of how scary it would be if there was more then just two genders, like...it would insane how everyone would want to be EXACTLY equal with each other, we'd never get anywhere.

I think, that most feminists (as they like to call themselves) are hanging out with the wrong guys, the guys that DO treat them like crap, and that's why they want to show just how much we don't need guys. You know, all the guys I know, are respectful to me. And you know what I love? Having a guy offer to carry something for me, open the door for me, they're not doing it say that I can't do it myself, that I'm weak.

They want to be nice, they want to take on the job so we don't want to do it. It's simple. They WANT to help us out. And we could help them out too! I love helping my dad do projects around the house, I admit it, I'm not good at lifting things and playing sports, I'm not strong, but I can hand my dad some screws and a hammer, right? It's just a nice way of saying: "Hey, I want to help you out, so I'm doing it in a way I know how" And if you're good at the things I'm done, that's great! It's where you're strong at, but don't try to completely shove the men out of the picture.

As Matt said in that article up there, they're fixing the draft and the physical requirement for women, in the army, so that women can get in easier. That's scary, I don't want to go to war where I might not come back. If both genders are pulled away, who's going to stay home and work? Who's going to take care of the kids? All this just so that we're all equal? Hardly seems fair to me.

(and what's with wanting strong female characters IN ALL THE MOVIES nowadays? You know what, I'm not even going to get into that.)

Just think about this, just think about what we're trying to get, here.

Ok, whew. I'm done with being deep today. I just ate a donut, donuts are good.
