RE: In Response To: Challenging Feminism. What's your opinion? by @raymondspeaks

in #feminism7 years ago (edited)

Interesting insights to the idea that culture is an issue. I didn't know that was the position.

We can focus on how we raise both our boys and our girls. I get annoyed about how our culture makes sexualizing women an accepted thing. AND.. I completely agree, that nobody has the right to rape anyone no matter what they are wearing!

I did not want to teach my girls to seek that type of behavior either though... I think the conversations in today's politically charged "Hot Topics" can be hard, due to what we are "allowed to say".

I really appreciate you being willing to discuss your perspective.

I appreciate you being willing to listen to my perspective. And of course, I don't speak for any feminist except myself. There may come along a whole slew of self identified feminist who disagree with me completely. But this is Feminism as I understand it. It's not tsunami, erasing the problems women face in an hour, it's a trickle that swells to a flood, altering the landscape of public discourse slowly, but inexorably...

I respect how you conducted the conversation. Sadly I usually only hear a defensive tone when I try to understand. Thank you!

Understood, regarding who and what you represent... (yourself) Again, respect.
