Apart from being fat and in other ways physically unappealing, why do women resort to feminism?

Question

Lack of career success? Poor relationships?

Answer 1

I am far from fat and unattractive - I weigh about 100 pounds on my 5ft2 frame.  I play sports, I enjoy fashion, I love to cook, I appreciate the fine things in life.  But I also believe I should earn as much a man in the same position - and I do.

Answer 2

All I will say on this subject is, sometimes I feel the woman can at times be a wee hypocritical, let's use the example argument, 'treat fat people the same, they are people too!  Though why do a lot of the near 'model figures' seem mainly associated with there own like when such a large volume of the population is over weight?  Could it be something to do with potentially obsessive attitudes to their presentation!  I’m a troll in comparison to Brad Pitt (good actor), and sometimes I feel a genuine distancing brought on by what I feel is something in the region of a possible modern competitive feminist perfection presentation ‘movement’

Boy's, want’s to burn some boxers regarding the Equality of British maternity law!!??!!

Answer 3

what!? i tell you what..im positively gorgeous and im a feminist!

i mean look at me!

http://insearchoftheweird.com/photos/ugl...

im utterly gorgeous...

now if i could just figure out if i was a man or woman!

( you know you want me...hug me or shall destroy you!)

ok if you want a serious answer...they resort to feminism for equal rights. or rights they believe they are not getting.

also not all feminists are fat and ugly...Ashley Judd is gorgeous and a feminist..i think Salma Hayek is too. and i bet a good deal of the feminists on here are really pretty too. much more pretty than i am. an anti feminist.

i may be silly..but i think i am as fair as possible...i guess..

Answer 4

Imagine calling yourself a 'masculinist'. I think some time soon people will be ashamed to say they were ever a feminist bigot or female-chauvinist.

Answer 5

I have wondered that too! How perceptive. I mean when men have petitioned for men's rights, such as working mens' suffrage, Black activists from the slave days to the 60's, I often wondered when would somebody notice that these men were deeply unattractive, fat hogs?  They had no business demanding such basic human rights when so deeply unappealing to the opposite s*x.  So, naturally, the same applies to women, to be accepted as attractive and slender you must cleave to men in all things, otherwise you will be condemned as the free thinking heifer you are!

And again you are right...poor career choice...do you sell many side orders in your chosen profession?

Oh! and by the way, being a L*****n does not mean you dislike/hate men, it means you are really into women, anyway that's what I told your wife last night!

Answer 6

Probably because a guy not unlike you or I, wounded them with our bitter ire, or some sad wench craver told them they were better than any man they knew..sheesh !

Answer 7

Feminist/L*****n-just a woman who hasn't met me yet.

Answer 8

Maybe due to a bad relationship or several with men.  I think these same women would probably not admit if a gentleman took them out to a restaurant they would love it if he held the door for her andpaid the bill and gave her loving comments.

Answer 9

Ah yes, the old "ugly fat feminist" rant.

How original.

Answer 10

I'm not sure what sort of feminism you are talking about, but here goes ...

My grandmother married a man who turned out to be an alcoholic.  their marriage split up and she had to put her three children into care.  They went to an orphanage, and the lives they led there were incredibly miserable.

This led to my mother falling pregnant at 18 - and getting married to an alcoholic.  She was uneducated, lacking in love and affection.  Her life with my father was h**l.  He left her and her four children, leaving her unemployed and struggling to bring up and feed us, and clothe us, and house us.

My mother still believed that women should be able to buy love and devotion from their husbands by being "submissive" - she refused to allow me an education.  And surprise, surprise, my husband walked out on me when my son was four months old, leaving me defenceless, with two small children to support.

And that is the real reason why women must be able to support themselves, stand up for themselves ...

For their children, for their own support, for their self respect.

And you know very well it has nothing to do with how a woman looks.  Stupid boy.

Answer 11

Feminism is just as bad a masochism, except at least masochism is rooted in, if nothing else, physical superiority.

No one can deny that the average male is faster, stronger, larger, than a female, and no female would want to be more manly anyways.

Answer 12

Someone can't get a girlfriend?

Answer 13

I was pretty pissed when out of a big group of temps, the men all got a dollar more an hour. Volunteering at a battered woman's shelter probably cemented it.

Answer 14

Thats hilarous

and some of the answers

but because they think guys are drunken douchebags who just sit on there asses

even though most people are smart awesome doods

wanna hear a joke?   ...   Womens rights!

Answer 15

fem·i·nism [fémmə nìzzəm]

noun

1.  belief in women's rights: belief in the need to secure rights and opportunities for women equal to those of men, or a commitment to securing these

2.  movement for women's rights: the movement committed to securing and defending rights and opportunities for women that are equal to those of men

I don't see where it says you have to be a bitter, fat, man-hating, bulldike... You are the one who is hatred-filled and bigot-spreading. What is the -ism for that?

Answer 16

Have you ever considered suicide?

Answer 17

maybe they cant bake cakes or do the washing up properly....

Answer 18

Well lets see ...

It can't be for equal pay - they got that enshrined in law.

It can't be for equal opportunity for employment - they have positive discrimination enshrined in law.

It can't be for equal protection from DV under the law - they either have that or they have a biased version enshrined in law (if not a biased soicety that will be faster to protect them).

It can't be for rape legislation - they can get away with making false claims with out fear of legal backlash.

It cant be for childabuse - they get convicted less often of it despite being the largest number of perpatrators.

Ok ... so whats left ..

Maybe some inalienable rights that I am not aware of that they feel are missing.

Maybe society doesnt quite think how they would like yet.

Maybe they feel let down by ... society? or is it their own family history?

Maybe they went through h**l with some men, and then failed to notice that some men go through h**l with some women too - and as a result felt justified in joining a movement whose only interests are for women.

Maybe they haven't noticed terms like egalitarianism - which does favour equality, but not just for women.

Although on thing I will say, your question could have been more respectful if you failed to include the notion that they are are unattractive. Haven't you heard how women take being called fat?

Answer 19

Feminism is the pursuit of equal rights for women. Not only are feminists not generically fat, ugly, stupid or lonely, they are also not exclusively female. Throughout history there are many influential (and straight) men who have supported the campaign for equal rights. The question you should be asking is - why do you have a problem with it?Are you so threatened by the (high) possibility of a woman actually being superior to yourself? Or maybe you're just confused about the exact definition, in which case you should probably consult a dictionary in future before making such embarrassingly ill-informed sweeping statements.

Answer 20

Perhaps some of us believe that women are human beings and should be treated accordingly.

Shocking, isn't it?

Answer 21

because of men like you, loser^_^ i think some of your brain cells didn't form correctly...

Answer 22

I'm sorry you can't get laid, but must you try and take it out on others?

That's probably why you can't get laid, Sweetie. Stair masters offer quick results, and benzoyl peroxide is good for cleaning up that acne. Showering helps, too.

Answer 23

I belive the p c term would be "Fugly".  

Answer 24

Most get sucked in by smooth talking professors or the general hate environment that creates a kind of "high".

Some actually believe that feminist's practice what they preach about equality.

   ---------

But this question is still a hate rooted question-

Answer 25

Why do G&WS trolls post the same uncreative questions all the time?

Answer 26

Nope 5'5" and 124 (this month) former dancer

Nope Bet I have a better career path than yours

Nope Definitely not.  

And what made you a misogynist

Answer 27

It's what happens when you let them out their cage for too long!

Answer 28

The same reason why everyone else changes: they're not happy.

I don't know any fat feminists. It shouldn't matter if they are fat though.  

Answer 29

To feel a sense of control in an uncontrollable world, Extreme Feminism(like Man Hating) I think stems from a bad experience with a male of the species somewhere in their lives at one point or discrimination.

Answer 30

Don't you mean lesbianism? Feminism is just believing in equal rights for women - it doesn't mean they don't like men - although of course some don't.

Bravodor - I think you need to look up what masochism means!
