‘Radical’ feminists are very open and public about being anti-men
while thier moderate counterparts may reject publicly but privately
endorse the radicalism. One thing is for sure.. they do not hold
men in high regard and view the institutions of today a result of
patriachial oppresion on them.
So… unless you have a degree hatred to men.. I dont see why u
are a ‘radical’ feminist..
I get the whole Machoism thingy.. but still… u know. Its like
saying you are a Radical Christian but u dont believe in Jesus, but
a Creator. Hence U can’t really say you are a Christian. So I am
just a bit confused.
1. I'm radically feminist in the sense that I believe in treating children in a genderless manner at all costs.
2. There is something I REALLY hate about the men of society: they treat girls "better" than boys.
Read below.
'Pro-girl sexism' = society forces males of all ages to treat a
girl-child "better" than boy-child of the same age and provide this
treatment solely on the basis on gender.
"Better" = the following:
1. More compassion
2. More sympathy
3. More respect
4. More gentleness
5. More easiness
6. More empathy
7. More cleanliness
8. More protection
9. More luxury
10. More personal space
11. More privacy
12. More security
13. More freedom
14. More modesty
15. More decency
... along with *less* physical contact.
This 'pro-girl sexism' causes sweet boys [like Chen] to suffer
in the hands of bitter girls [like Xinyi] and evil men [like
Xinyi's father].
On average, the adult woman:
1. Is physically weaker than the adult man
2. Is more emotional than the adult man
3. Is better behaved than the adult man
4. Is far more likely to be a victim of opposite-gender violence
[e.g. violence may be sexual, domestic, or spousal abuse] than the
adult man
5. Can get or be pregnant whereas the adult man can't
6. Is physically more delicate than the adult man
Also, it is likely natural for a man to want to treat an adult
woman partially over an adult man -- this is seen in many mammalian
species. For example in many species of large mammals -- such as
bison --, the adult males are rough with each other but tender with
the adult females.
Due to this, I believe males of all ages should treat adult
women "better" than adult men. However, NO male -- of any age --
should *ever* be socially-mandated to treat girl-children better
than boy-children because this will cause boys to develop an
intense and life-long hatred for young girls and a hatred for the
macho men who teach these boys to defer to girls. This sexism
against boy children will likely cause boys to also despise society
and it's irrational norms. In addition, it is *not* innate/instinctive for a male -- of any age -- to treat girls "better" than boys.
In addition, science has already proven that average girl-child
is NOT *innately*:
1. Weaker
2. More sensitive
3. More delicate
4. Lower-IQed
5. Slower
6. Less energetic
7. Less aggresive
8. Less violent
9. Less cold-hearted [or more hot-hearted]
10. Less openly abusive to members of the opposite gender
11. Less openly sexist against members of the opposite gender
12. More tense
13. More emotional
14. Less emotionally-stable
15. More compassionate
16. More mature in personality
... than the average boy-child of the same age.
Boy = male under 18 years of age = child
Girl = female under 18 years of age = child
Woman = female who is 18 years of age or older = adult
Man = male who is 18 years of age or older = adult
