I imagine that at least part of the reason why many Feminist are so insanely angry is they're trying to avoid the feeling of being haunted with murdering their own child in abortion.
Women are known to suffer - not just physically after having a child ripped out of their uterus, but also psychologically - for the rest of their lives. But if they brought this up - not only would it be very painful to them, it would also mean they couldn't be part of the hateful Feminist group who demands all label unwanted children as "parasites" rather than human beings - in order to belong.

Anger has a benefit of making someone feel superior - powerful - which is addictive especially to people who feel inferior and weak.

Yes, there are some stupid guys out there. But there are also some stupid women.

We (women) got property and voting rights and we earn the same wages for the same jobs (it just turns out that statistically women prefer not to be as workaholic as men so they aren't as often CEO's etc). We came a long way - and then crazy Feminists ruined a lot of it by taking it to the most extreme possible. It's as if they're in this delusional state - making men the enemy & women somehow superior.

Extreme Feminist Women - CHILL OUT.
If you're pissed because your life sucks - figure out why and do something about it rather than blaming others.
Blaming others actually gives away your power - because if you're convinced it's someone else's fault - then you have no power to change it.
Women were having abortions WAY WAY before feminism, WAY WAY before 1970. At least with abortion legal women no longer had to suffer the physical mutilation and death from unclean conditions and untrained "butchers".

Angry, unhappy extremists will always be among us in the form of feminists, misogynists, racists or what have you. Thankfully they are the small minority.

They want rights to kill their children, but they also want more rights to take off of work for having a child...when does it end....? When are they satisfied? The more you give them the more they want?

Whether they are happy or not is irrelevant (sorry ladies). Progress moves forward and we deal with it. We don't need a bunch of pregnant women at home anyway like it was 100 years ago. Too many people we don't know what to do with as it is.

I have to disagree with you on this one Creme.
Women want autonomy over their own bodies.
Women had to fight for permission from a male dominated society to control their own reproduction. You know that the pill was once illegal, then it was only prescribed to married women. Abortion was illegal but it did not stop desperate women.
Women were pressured into sex, within marriage they were expected to have sex all the while unable to control pregnancy, pregnancy with all its consequences that fell on them, health problems, poverty, shame. So yes women want the right to legal medical procedures to terminate pregnancy when contraception fails or there is unfortunate problems with the fetus. I dont see wanting the right to a medical procedure as a bad thing.

Few women in this country get much in the way of maternity leave compared to other countries. Our society depends on future generations. It is women who bring future generations to carry on our legacy, our future workers, scientists, inventors, physicians, artists, etc. Society well expects these women to not only incubate, birth and nurture future generations but to do so while being independent and self sufficient which means for many having to go to work everyday. What is so horrible about giving them a few weeks to recover and bond with their child before going back to be a productive citizen and caretaker of the future.
What you seem to be arguing is that women should not be able to control their pregnancies and at the same time not be given any considerations when it comes to supporting herself and the results of these pregnancies.
This kind of circumstance is what gives us things like back ally abortions, poverty, prostitution, workhouses, baby farming, child abandonment, and infanticide.

Anyone who says "kill their children" when referring to abortion can't really be taken seriously. Advocating against maternity leave is just sad.

We needed feminism. Before its advent, there weren't enough overtly hypocritical and unpleasant people in America.

I think a lot of women would. Now they are working full time plus having the job of being a mother.

I like where we've come to, won't lie....
but, there are people who take it way too far....
would I want to go back, absolutely not, but I have a problem with these so called I-rate women who snap at men who hold the door open for them, or who want more and more pregnancy leaves, without any concern for who is going to do their job while they are gone....
