Question

Why is there is a notion with some feminists that they somehow "own" all women and that women must follow feminist dogma? According to that notion women themselves have no say in the matter.

It is very reminiscent of the Borg where people had free independent thought removed and were subjugated to control by the collective Borg mind.

Answer 1

I have never heard of that, and I don't think that a few people thinking they own other women is the same as having independent thought removed.

Answer 2

Feminists speak for women who dont know any better.  Or at least thats what they tell themselves at night when they agonise over whether they are really being slightly pushy, selfish, and perhaps are somewhat undeserving of the concessions men have given to them.

Come morning time, they've snapped out of it though.  Theres nothing like a good coffee and a quick read of GWS before going into the office to legislate the promotion out from underneath some man.

Answer 3

Last time I asked a similar question it got reported.

When you point out flaws in feminism you automatically get accused of being a misogynist.

When a woman attacks feminism, all the feminists rally round and insult and belittle that woman. They will accuse her of being sycophantic to men or has been brainwashed by men or of being stupid.

Answer 4

They put too much stock in a simple eight letter word.  F (1) E (2) M (3) I (4) N (5) I (6) S (7) M (8).  A word that can do no more than those within its folds.  A word that causes them to stand out; to be loved and, or hated; at times as you've just demonstrated it is their weakness.
