I have never made less or more than an equally qualifed member of the opposite sex performing the same job description. Never. And have been employed since I was 18.
A. Oh ya, men never get angry. OK, got it


B. YOU have NO proof of pay equality...NONE. Unless you snooped in files where you didn't belong

The truth is I don't see feminists in an attractive light. This is to their detriment. Woman have ruined it for themselves.
No women haven't ruined it for themselves just because YOU don't see them in an attractive light.


That's the point...what YOU think doesn't matter to most women and that's makes men angry and anti-feminists.

I think it's more that feminists are rabidly pro-abortion and many strong independent women are more like mother wolves when it comes to their offspring, they will love and protect them from harm, fight to the death for them, not have someone kill them.

Eight aborted kids, kids who ended up in the trash bucket of an abortionist but feminists despise a homemaker with eight kids too much for that woman to want to be one.

Strong women who love their babies tend to call themselves anti-feminists. Sarah Palin for example makes the feminists absolutely livid even if she had a higher paying job than her husband, and might consider running for president and isn't afraid to speak her mind.

Feminism has nothing to do with wages or equality with men. Feminists despise Sarah Palin because she had 5 kids she didn't abort and a grandchild on top of that that didn't get aborted.

Oh and she's somewhat conservative in other ways. Something else feminists despise with all their might.

OH boy! The fear!...and nothing else...all smoke...

No one is pro-abortion....and there certainly is no proof, none, that anyone is "rabidly" pro-abortion...


Feminists are for women being treated like equal humans and being able to choose what to do with their own bodies.

They do not kill children...what horrible disgusting slander...

No they aren't. We all know why feminists absolutely despise Sarah Palin. And it sure isn't that she was governor of a state and at least equal to her husband in income.

And the "choice" comes down to the destruction of their own babies' bodies, the death of their little ones.

Abortion is the issue, abortion is why some strong women absolutely abhor feminism.

Another one who has fallen victim to the liberal lie.

The liberal left "feminist" is all about *their* rights, as they perceive them, not the rights of all women. There are no so-called feminists coming to the defense of conservative women on the right. They will slam home-schoolers even though it's well known that home schooled kids generally do better academically and on tests than the do the products of our liberal not-so-good education system. They will slam women who choose to have families by calling them all sorts of names, including "breeders" (which says a lot about the person using the term); they most certainly are vehemently pro-abortion.

Feminists should grow up and realize that they have every opportunity to choose to do what they want with their bodies *before* they have sex. Once they have sex that results in conception, they no longer have a second choice. Abortion then IS killing the baby. They are all for it. They do not believe in a woman's right to have a baby as much as they believe in a woman's right to abort that baby.

Ever see a woman with a t-shirt that has an arrow pointing down to a swollen belly, and says "fetus"?

BIG difference.

I treat women with nothing but respect. I LOVE women, I'm always nice to them, I am never bitter or show any bitterness to them... You know why? Because I genuinly LIKE women.

However Feminists is a COMPLETE different matter, Notthat I openly show my hatred towards them but I don't socialise with them at all. And if I would be forced to socialise with them I would be cold and distant and make it very clear I don't enjoy their company.

You talk about my attitude like it proves my hate towards women, WHEN MY "ATTITUDE" IS DIRECTED TOWARDS FEMINISTS ONLY.

Thats EXACTLY what you feminists do, you paint out all men as misogynists. Especcially those who say something critical about Feminists. Can't you see the difference between a man who dislikes the Feminazi punks who does nothing but verbally abuse men every chance they get and men who dislikes women?

Yes, there are men who hate women sure. But there are JUST AS MANY women who hate men.
Your language SHOWS that you have animosity towards women - you say you don't SHOW it - it probably leaks out. Why do you hate an entire gender - were you abandoned by your mother, dumped by a wife or girlfriend, ridiculed by girls in school? Something must have happened to you to inspire all of that carefully guarded wrath.

I know you make a distinction between hating feminists and non-feminists . . . was the woman who hurt you a feminist?

What is with all the demeaning disrespect on this thread?
No its like any class designation they want specail treatment as a protected class that the government gives special consideration to like nay other now days. Mandate enforcemnt of being hire tot heir numbners like most;nt by abbility or being eqaully considered. Its the normal class warfare .

Ooh, I love this part of the debate when people get all gnarly and cave-man.

I am a proud feminist. I have been married to a man for a very long time. I have 2 children. I am pro-choice. I have had no abortions. I am a stay-at-home mom.

So are you saying I'm not a feminist? Or I'm not a real woman? I'm confused.

The fact of the matter is that anyone can be a feminist if they believe in equality. There is no set lifestyle or recipe to follow. Sorry to burst your bubble, but feminists are just not the man-haters you want us to be to continue justifying your beliefs. I certainly hope you treat the women and girls in your life with more respect than what you have shown here?
