Is Feminism Just Hatred In Disguise?

I'm a female who appreciates the roles men play in society.

The definition of feminism is, "The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social and economic equality to men." While I can easily say I agree to this definition I do have an issue with the extreme feminists out there in today's society.

Yes, males and females should be equally paid and have the same perks in life; it is 2016, after all. However, I can't help but notice on my social media accounts how people (mainly female) are posting statuses and pictures of how men suck and a woman can handle any job a man can. I disagree. Being a female myself, I know when to admit I need help. Sometimes you need a man to lift the heavy box for you. Call me crazy but I still want a guy to hold the door open for me and pay for the dinner. Not to mention -- to all you "feminists" out there -- we need men to reproduce if we want to. Radical feminists have a reputation of being extreme and refusing to be open-minded. Most of the feminists on my social media platforms are Hillary Clinton supporters just because of the sheer fact that she is female. I believe that a feminist should support equal rights but at the same time own up when a male is in the right.

I'm going to list a few quotes from some "feminists" below. I just want you to analyze them:

"The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race." - Sally Miller Gearhart

"Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice." - Andrea Dworkin

"I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." - Andrea Dworkin

Those quotes don't shout equality or justice. Instead it proposes that men ultimately should be eliminated from the world. Men are portrayed as sadistic rapists whereas a woman has no choice in her life and needs to beat her man in order to escape. These extreme feminists are setting a bad example for the younger generations. I don't believe shaming a man or being violent is the way to show people that females need equal rights. At the end of the day, these feminists are no better than the men who degraded them.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
