hi, do you believe men and women have equal rights, i'm for that or woman are superior? whci i think is bullshit.

[burn_ladiesagainstfeminism]

Hey, I believe in equal rights, which in many ways we don't have now, for woman to want to be superior is just hypocritical.

[The Garbage Disposal Unit]

The first problem, Clenched Fist, is that you seem to see women and men as alienable - they're not - gender identity is socially constructed.

Welcome "b_laf" - it will be really nice to have another feminist on the forums.

Hey, I believe in equal rights, which in many ways we don't have now, for woman to want to be superior is just hypocritical.

Yes. I believe that women should have the same rights as men. Welcome! :che:

[RedStarOverChina]

eaxctly. The following are the comment i wrote b4. Wht do u think? does it make sense? this is the Marxist-feminist view...


men's "superiority" is an result of their access of more financial income. According to Marxism, people's status within a capitalist society depends on their ability to earn income.

Since traditionally, women were robbed of their rights to provide income for the family, women's social status is low. We can see their rising as an average income for a woman increases.

So inequality between genders is a result of both ill-traditions and the capitalist in material wealth.

Women are currently alot less dependent upon men. This is why in women the west have more equality. However, many jobs in our society are still considered unsuited for women. As long as this exists, it will limit women's income, thus keeping down their social status, allowing sexism to happen. u cant deny that overall men make more money than women.

Our mindset is the product of our economical environment!! Remember all that jazz Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote? guess wht, they actually make sense.

Think about it. Didnt women's social status rise during WWI and WWII? cause all men went to war and women started to earn income for the family. Their increasing role in production led to their rise.

To stressing gender equality from correcting the mindset only forces people to pay more lipservice.

Us Marxists believe that the root of the inequality (not just between man and women, but also between Africans and Caucasians, cities and villages, so on and so forth) is, as mentioned times before, the difference in productivity.

I doubt womene will ever be equal as men. Women on the frontline at war? There are alot of laws protecting women.

[burn_ladiesagainstfeminism]

Hey, in answer to rsoc, Yes I believe thats right, and thats why woman cannot reach the ultimate goal which is to be considered human beings, with all the rights and independance assosiated with that, without there being a socialist revolution beforehand.

[guerilla89]

to guerillablack:

i see what ur talking about, however, we can take steps to make women equal to men (probaly only through revolution, which is fine with me). Also, im new so if anyne wants to chat, feel free to talk to me. i'll be on this website alot. oh, and, guerillabalck, r u Muslim? if so then Allahu Akibar! i am Muslim! if u r then it would be nice to talk about the religion and see where we stand.

[RedStarOverChina]

Im more optimistic about that.

I believe thro the struggle of communism (or perhaps merely women's non-violent struggle against sexism), we can eliminate financial boundaries between the two sexes, meaning overall men and women earn the same amount of income, as jobs become more and more non-discriminatory, people's mindsets willinevitably change----that is the central theme to dialectical materialism----everything in our society is based upon the economical environment.

[burn_ladiesagainstfeminism]

We can take step to make men and woman more equal, and alot of the problems are to do with the economy, but I think the underlieing problem is with woman themselves and there attitudes, whish are the first things which need to be changed.

Hello i am fairly new and i would just like to say that equal rights shouldnt have to be fought for it should be a natural right but until then keep fightin'.
