Was feminism a hoax for older women?

Question

The American women who bought into the feminist hoax of the 1970s-1990s and did not have a husband or children, are now entering retirement years.

Will their last years be lonely and broke?

Answer 1

I'm just curious, I can't email you so this is the only media I have to ask you, what's the problem, darling?

I looked at your Q&A and you've dedicated all your time to Women's Studies. What is it you need to prove? Don't you realize this is really sad behavior?

To everyone else who agrees with this kind of logic, man and woman alike, do you seriously hate women that much? It makes so little sense. It's like be angry that the sun will rise in the morning. Women are equals whether you like it or not.

Men, I'm sorry we stole your housecleaning, babysitting, and mealcooking superbot wife of the past. You might get stuck marrying a woman who thinks! I bet she can read too! Might even have the audacity to have an opinion.

Women: I'm sorry we took away the ability for you to get by as a gold digger! I'm sure there's still a handful of money-weary men out there just waiting to use you up for a few years in exchange for some nice shoes and haircuts. Keep living the dream!

Answer 2

When women are in their senior years then they get another kind of discrimination - being old.

Answer 3

Yes, the old age homes will soon be filled with old, poor, and lonely feminists of the 70s.

They were convinced by the capitalists to forego children in favor of consumption. They will die alone. So silly.

Answer 4

Last I heard, the majority of those women were content with their lives, but getting sick of people like you trying to make them feel differently.

Answer 5

A hoax means that something is not real - never happened.

Are you saying that feminism never happened.  That it was just a global figment of the imagination?

Are you saying that it was fake?

No, it REALLY happened.

Also, women don't need men to have children.  The children will still be there long after the man is gone.  

But that is really your deep-seated fear - you may become obsolete.

No, you won't become obsolete, but you will have to find your worth in a new way - by being a kind, caring and loving partner and father.

That's not such a bad thing to be, is it?

Edit:  Yes.  Vanessa Z has admitted to being a man.

Answer 6

A hoax?

You must be joking, kid.

You have no point of reference, but I do.

I remember how awful it was.

You have no education, but I do.

The scholarly evidence says you've got it backwards.

Boomers are living longer, and healthier, than any generation before.  Your generation won't be so lucky; there's no money left over.

'Cost of giving up a career: $1 million'

"...when women decide to leave the workforce. Most not only forfeit their income, but also retirement savings, pension and other benefits. All told, Crittenden says, she gave up about $700,000. Shocking? Yes. Unlikely? Nope. Economists say that the stay-at-home parent who relinquishes a career may lose about $1 million over the years."

*Vanessa the Misogynist Mom speaks out about her lack of education (education is wasted on housewives)  and loathing of women.  Strong positive correlation?  Obviously, duh-uh.  But why such misogyny?  What makes some women so twisted?

Or, is it as one poster observed "EDIT...What's really funny is that sometimes "Vanessa" forgets that she's supposed to be a girl, and refers to "herself" as a man. "?  So is it a misogynist man in real life?  I think I agree with Wendy: its a male troll.

Fact: feminists tend to be educated.  Education matters.  It matters a lot.

Answer 7

They will probably have a great deal of money in their own retirement accounts, unlike some poor women who counted on their husbands to take care of them only to find themselves divorced, traded in for a younger model.

Answer 8

Heck women (at a certain age) don't want to live with men.  I think estrogen is the answer.  Some talk about having sacrificed personal lives for career (no family, etc.)

Answer 9

No...older men are the reward for older women...and that is why widowhood is at least some compensation!

Lonely and broke..for godssake!

My father paid a handsome dowry to my suitor to invest in my later years, oh! yes and I work full time, own my own company, have a private pension and work with women and children in the community to increase their life opportunities so they will not necessarily have to rely on YOU to pay for their lonely future!

Answer 10

You are young and / or male, aren't you?

If you were not, you would know how incorrect the various assumptions behind this question are.

Nuff said.

Cheers :-)
