Re: I'm a sexy feminist!
Wow...very profound questions here. In order and in my opinion......
1. We certainly live in an American culture where female sexuality in particular is idolized and considered highly titillating to the senses . It is often used as a means of becoming more popular , selling more movies and DVD's , and everything from toothpaste to car spark plugs. What I believe is this fundamentally : Women have been sexually exploited and a good many women have used it to get whatever power, control, prestige, money they can from it regardless of it being ethical or not. I think when key morals and principles get sidestepped, it becomes dangerous for women in this arena. The constant barrage of relentless sexy advertisements from our mass media over the past 5 decades has led to a terrible surge in date rape, abuse, and mysogomy . A womans stay in a 4 year University now runs a chance of abuse of 1 in 3 --------- sexual hedonism because women allow it amounts to 4000 developing human beings being ripped to shreds at the hands of a 'Doctor' while in the womb ---- and Teenage boys and girls are growing up not realizing the need for a personal relationship with the opposite sex because each are seen as just a temporary piece of genital satisfaction. There is most definetly a downside to the hyper sexual climate that Feminists seek for personal gain.
2. The bottom line with men is : They respect a woman who respects herself. If shes loose sexually then the man will oblige her but will come away not respecting her or holding her in any sort of high esteem. It is within every man to find disdain toward a woman who shows carelessness, disrespect, and lack of control toward the way she behaves. In fact, it only serves to increase the exploitation of such women. Such wayward women are duped into thinking this is how you get and keep a guy ------------ aint so . Once he gets bored hes out of there.
3. Feminism to me, is an offshoot of Secular Humanism putting man (woman) in complete authority so he/she can live as they like supposedly unencumbered by consequences (the popular mantra of 'so long as nobody gets hurt' ). People, many people..have gotton hurt from not wanting to obey absolute sexual mores. That's been Americas downfall with the proven std epidemic now with 1 out of every 4 adult americans and many many teens and millions dying prematurely from sexual AIDS contraction.
4. A stay at home wife / mother can have feminist overtones even if it doesn't include sexual relativism . In fact, more n more women who are wives and mothers are having adulterious affairs in the workplace and beyond today and even if they are faithful to their marriage vows, the climate at home isn't conducive to harmony with the woman vying for power, control, egotism.
5. Ive not met many Feminists who allow their husbands to take on the traditional role of husbandry . Its usually in conflict to the Feminists strong willed nature to never trust a man entirely and for her to be a provider unto herself . Feminism doesn't promote willful submission for the husband to be provider and protector of the family....its a situation today that many marriages face and it only causes conflict and chaos because the man cant be who he is wired to be in a foundational sense.
Summary...my opinion is that Feminism overall has been bad for America. Especially in relationships with men . It may be good for voting priveldges , etc....but basically it lends itself to chaos , dissension, narcissism, hedonism, in a society. All that said, im am for a woman displaying her feminine side concerning physical beauty , charm, intuition , softness, skills , etc... but the hyper sexuality that women have bought into so they can be like an irresponsible man in this regard has only served to destroy the moral fabric of our nation, families, and children . HOW women in a given society use their sexuality determines the sexual climate of a Nation .... women hold an enormous amount of responsibilitly in this regard. ; a Nation that has a high concentration per capita of female sexual immorality or perversion is going to be a Nation that has eroded values, principles, and constructs needed for civility and proper raising of children.
