Can I ask how old you are? You just seem a little young to be on TSR. Some women don't agree with feminism because they think it's about hating men and burning bras.


I'm 14 almost 15 but I mean that girls in school even though it happens to them everyday, they still don't care and they they say why try but because they haven't tried they don't know.

If it's not upsetting them then there's not much you can do, it's good that you're pointing it out to them though. See if your school has feminism club you can join?

Do you still think the world is still not feminist enough for women.


In 2014 Britain, I think the world is TOO FEMINIST. In terms of the rest of the world, it varies (in some places, not enough, admittedly).

I think they are even though some do it scarcely and secretly some women and men still think the woman's job is at home.


For starters, I can't say I come across many, if any, people who think that women should literally never work outside the home. In terms of which gender should be the one to stay at home WHEN A COUPLE HAVE KIDS, however? To be honest, more people would say it should be the woman, than the man, yes. But is this sexist? I mean, it could be interpreted as meaning that women are BETTER at something than men, even.

At any rate, what's wrong with being a stay-at-home mum? I personally relish the idea of having a career, but also doing just this. Feminists often talk about how women should have the choice to do either, but, whilst making the assumption that women don't CHOOSE to do this, this is also ignoring the fact that, if women are adhering to societal expectations, SO ARE MEN. Therefore, I honestly can't see how such an idea can be said to be disadvantaging women disproportionately, as feminists so often seem to insist.

Some women today are degrading themselves by being sexually involved in Men in the wrong way (prostitutes) that makes men think women are like dolls and dumb and that we can be taken advantage of.


First off, if women want to sell their bodies, I don't see what the problem is. Secondly, I honestly can't see what evidence there is to suggest that even so much as a very small percentage of men see women as sex objects, purely because of the existence of prostitution and the pornography industry. I mean, a very small minority of men may think of women in such a way; but then, there are women who see men as little more than walking-wallets, too. Sexism goes both ways.
