A Canadian Male explaining what "Feminism" currently is
Most people are ignorant as to what feminist theory actually is. Feminist theory is the ethical belief that people should not be judged as inferior based on thier sex( quite ironic the thing is called Feminist theory and not gender equality theory).
The thing is, what women nowadays want, particularily women exposed to the media of the USA, is a complete power trip. Instead of opting for equality, they want to make men the inferior sex.
The first "feminist" movement had women burning their bras and declaring their retirement from the kitchens and bathrooms of their stale middle-class suburban homes. They would take up office as doctors, lawyers, engineers, CEOs just as the men have in the past. But of course, they take it a little too far and clump together with "girl power" mentality, and thus make life a living hell for all professional males, whether they are discriminatory against women or not. And don't even get me started on affirmative action...
So, the 30 somethingth women are now millionaires in their glass towers. However, their youthful looks have eluded them and the spark of their youth has been extinguished. In other words, they were too busy making money and being professional to get a man who was interested in them. When they finally have the free time, the current 30 year old men no longer find them attractive and thus date 20 year olds instead. This angers the professional woman. It seems they can either have success at getting a successful man or success at money, but not both?
But no, there is a way, and they've discovered it.
Most women of the current generation are not believers in equality. They are also not believers in hard work to make money for themselves. They have seen the rut their mothers are in, and are doing the most ingenious thing that they can do to make money and have tons of sex: use their sexuality to get good jobs AND get men who are in demand.
The female of today is smitten with an entitlement complex: basically, if they want it, they deserve it, because they're women. No other reason, just that. If they are not given it they will do whatever dastardly deed it takes to get what they want, and without regret too, because they should've been given what they wanted in the first place. They aren't at fault for anything - You are at fault for not being at their beck' and call.
That is why guys today are very critical of the North American woman. The media of the USA perpetuates the entitlement complex. The successful women on TV are all sexy, and use their sexiness to get things. Look at Paris Hilton - gets everything she wants for just 'being a girl'. Look at the candidates on the Apprentice 2. Look anywhere you want on TV. The current message is girls are entitled to anything they want provided they are sexy.
For instance, experiments have been done that show that a sexy demanding girl with a **** resume and answering in only yes/no answers will get a job or placement faster than an ugly girl with a good resume and well thought out answers.
So sexy women with attitude problems get the job, the $$$, and since they are sexy, the men as well.
This is the current state of "feminism" and guys don't like it.
P.S. I posted this in Wyldfire's original thread but realized it just turned into a her vs Don Joffe bickering match as usual. I will have no part in that.
