Feminism
I am in my third year now of Unniversity and as a female I must say that even I am sick of hearing about feminism. This seems to be the main trend for many of the Profs in the Unniversity. Each prof seems to devote a portion of their class to feminism thoughts and theories. And as a student I must say hearing it once was great, hearing it twice was good, even hearing it three times was fine. But every class, I mean common.
I realize the importance of feminist theories and the things they have done for women rights, but after a while it starts to make me feel bad as a women, because we are constantly shoving this knowledge down mens throats. And quite frankly after the third time of hearing this I start to feel bad, I feel that it makes men feel horrible, it makes them annoyed and I think telling these kinds of theories a million times throughout the course of unniversity only frustrates men into believing that women are just out to get them.
Can you imagine being in their shoes hearing about what we had done to them in the past, and having it constantly shoved down our throats in at least every class throughout the course of your unniversity career. Would you not feel immense guilt? I sure would, and many men today don’t believe in men being superior to females, and I think the unniversity is only trying to show this as a theory, but at the same time I think a step back needs to be taken in order to look at how shoving this theory down a mans throat affects him as a person.
I would also like to applaud this class for having no feminist content in it ( or if it did it was very little that was unnoticed by me). In this class males and females learned together. As a sociology class I was suprised by the little amount of theories, and the immense amount of personal thought. I am happy to say that I believe this is the first class in which no feminist content has been presented.

I liked your blog standing up for our men. It really hit a nerve! My demographic (70 years) are generally not full of feminist theory, in fact we hate it because we value our opposite numbers! We remember the days when the word was a good word. The early classical feminists did a good thing–getting the vote etc–but now it’s been carried way too far.
April 9 edition of Western Standard, page 34 has an article you should read about “dead-beat Dads.” David Warren is a writer (and has been called one of these Dads) I always want to listen to. He says the law has been designed around the principle, “a man can do no right, and a woman can do no wwrong.” In my long years of living with the feminist movement, I too am sick of their angles. I pointed out in one of my blogs that many advertisements now depict men in inferior positions and women laughing at them. David Warren says it’s time for men to make a public stand against thist, because the mainstream media refuse to discuss the subject as they are in fear of feminist ideology.
This view of extreme feminism concludes that as men generally rule the world they are the cause of evil in the world. Men are a necessary evil to propagate the race and the world would be a safer and happier place if women replaced them! This distorts the God-given roles of the sexes when women elevate themselves above men. The desire to seek equality of value and function for women in society is good, but it is in family relationships that it causes havoc, and then in the greater world. Keep up the good blogging.
