Why do feminists believe in things that don't exist?

Question

Such as the glass ceiling for women in the corporate world and the "patriarchy" which from what I have gathered is some sort of a gentlemens club where men get all manner of benefits in all spheres of life. (Any feminist who can point me in the direction of my local branch please email me. I would like to join straight away)

Answer 1

I used to believe in the Easter Bunny, does that count?

Really, I did when I was a kid.

Answer 2

The glass ceiling does exist.  Even though my education and the cost of living is the same for me than a man, I was told privately that I should be thrilled to be earning the same as a man.

And there is a gentlemen's club.  In most country clubs, there are rooms where only the "Named" member is invited; this is typically the man.  If you stand close enough to the entrance of the room, you can hear very frank business discussions.  I happen to be a Board member of a club, so I know this situation first hand.  I can probably send you a list of country club if you provide me with your address.

Answer 3

Feminism's "theorists" are forever inventing things in their minds in order to try to justify the evil that they do. And that's exactly what they are: Figments of warped imaginations. (These inventions they call "constructs" in order to make them sound more intellectual.)

"The patriarchy" is one of those things, "the glass ceiling" is another. It is all pretention.

Feminism itself is essentially s*x-based and s*x-biased. (Like naziism was race-based and race-biased.)

As an equalist I must say that feminism and naziism are both incompatible with equality. Equalism regards all men and women as PEOPLE regardless of their gender and colour of their skin.

Answer 4

Because what better to use objects that dont exist and lies for truths. If you cant see them, you cant say they dont exist.

lol Perfect isnt it. For the dumb A population that gather like sheep.

Answer 5

The glass ceiling still exists in certain businesses. Maybe it doesn't in the business world in general, but you can't say that every corporation in the world is 100% fair. It just doesn't happen.

Furthermore, the only people talking about patriarchy these days are the anti-feminists in this forum.

Answer 6

What you're saying is analogous to saying that racism doesn't exist. Just because you have never experienced it personally or seen it happen doesn't mean it doesn't exist. As the old saying goes, you need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. Then you will be able to see what other people have to go through in their daily lives.

Answer 7

Many things exist, although they cannot be touched.  They are called "intangibles."  Such things are ideas.  People with IQ's higher than 70 are able to envision and understand ideas.  You will just have to trust the people who have a bit more intelligence than you, since you are incapable of understanding intangibles.

Answer 8

That's like saying, "I don't believe racism exists, I've never been treated in a racist way and I'm white!"

The glass ceiling does exist. For women. As for the gentlemen's club... obviously you aren't incredibly rich or powerful just because you happen to be male, but it does give you advantages in many ways that you probably don't notice.

Here's a good explanation:

Answer 9

Feminists are the same as people who complain about racism, i'm sorry if i don't feel bad for most women when i make barely enough to get by as it is, and all the women that i work with are making the same as me (standard hiring wage). I got better things to do than listen to women complain about "inequality". Give me a break... Grow up

Answer 10

Dunno, but they c**p me off too! Too much wah wah, not enough reality is my thinking on the subject of feminism!
