I want to start off by saying I am strong willed, capable woman double majoring in chemistry and biology, working part time at a home improvement store, and getting by just fine. And I will not, by any means, be associated with modern day feminists.
Modern day feminism is a disgrace.
I appreciate my ability to go to whatever school I want, to vote, and to work alongside men. But I hope to god that there is no time in my life where I am accepted to a school, hired to a job, promoted, or anything of that sense for being a woman. I want to be chosen because I work my ass off just like everyone else not because someone is afraid I'll cry discrimination. But THAT is precisely what modern day feminists are doing to society.
Let me tell you what modern day feminism has done for me. It has shamed me for having my own beliefs. It has made me feel like being girly is a sign of submission to men. It has shunned me for not labeling myself a feminist.
I know how to use power tools, to build things, to change my oil. I am good at science and math. I like to fish and hike and play video games. But at the same time I like glitter, and disney movies, and soap operas. And sometimes I'm going to get all done up, put on a dress and an apron and bake a pie. And none of that is because society says I should. You can be girly or sporty or geeky or whatever the hell you want to be and it isn't a sign of submission. It doesn't make you less of a woman. I can be pro-life and be a strong independent woman at the same time. Do not call me anti-choice, I believe in all sorts of choices. I like my ability to choose. I chose my clothes this morning even! I chose to rescue starving, helpless, orphan bunnies the other day. It took up time and money, and they were 100% reliant on me, but you know what? I don't like things to die for no reason. And I support your choice to rescue bunnies or not to rescue bunnies, but I do not support your choice to consciously kill someone else's child.
I'm caught between hoping all feminists have sons, and really hoping they never have sons. Either it would make them realize what they think about men isn't true or they would make them feel like they are the reason their mother has any problems.
My brothers are significantly younger than I, and I have this fear. This fear that one day they could have a girlfriend and that she could get pregnant. And that he might have to live his whole life knowing that she killed their child and he had absolutely no say. Does that not seem messed up to you? Feminists spew this "a right to her body!" crap constantly, but do you ever actually think about a father's right to their child? Just because he doesn't have a uterus he has no say? We live in a world where even if the father is more fit to take care of a child than the mother, the courts will favor the mother for custody anyway. All because she is a woman. Feminists would probably think thats all fine and dandy, but is it EQUAL? What happened to equality? Would you really want your son to live in a world where he has no rights to his children? Honestly? And don't just default to yes because it's what you're supposed to say as a liberal feminist, actually THINK about it.
What do modern day feminists fight for? They claim they want equality, but bash men every chance they get. They act as if it's men's fault that they have a uterus. They want to be called equal, but be treated like queens.
Do not ever shame me for MY choice to distance myself from your corrupt feminist movement. Do not speak for me. Do not be concerned about me. I believe in myself and this world enough to know that I can get by without you, and that I, among all women, would be better off without you. Once upon a time the feminist movement was necessary, it was courageous, but now you're a bunch of whiny bitches and because of it people won't take you seriously. I will NOT be treated like less of a free thinker, less of a woman, for thinking so. Because it turns out I, a woman, can have independent thoughts and beliefs, who knew!
