The Feminist movement is based on a perception that they are only interested in Female Equality! However if you delve below the serface of the actual movement you find that to not be the case. At it's inception women were told to change their own reality and not be "chained down by their biology" In other words, differences between men and women are entirely made up. We don’t have to bow to the oppressive expectations of a patriarchal society. We can redefine ourselves.
Women followed the path recommended by the feminist leadership: they attended college, got advanced degrees, and postponed marriage and family until after they were well established in their careers. There is plenty of time for children, they were reassured.Slowly, women who once felt liberated by such rhetoric began to feel betrayed. Believing the lie of feminism, they learned through much pain, that certain differences between men and women are a biological fact, not a social construct.
And the consequences of ignoring this reality have brought suffering to the lives of women. Most women are shocked to discover the biological truth: by age 30 a woman’s fertility decreases by 7 percent; by age 45 it declines by 87 percent.
Most women are downright angry when they find out the ways in which women have been hoodwinked. Magazines herald celebrities giving birth to their firstborn in their forties or beyond. No one tells you what her gynecologist told her about those celebrities—those aren’t their eggs.Most are dismayed to discover how rare it is for a woman to conceive naturally in her forties. Even those who can afford fertility treatments are often turned away because of their age. At forty, you are too old, the clinic insists.
A living example of this is to be found in the life of Rebecca Walker. The daughter of radical (Rebecca says “rabid”) feminist Alice Walker, tells an even more heartbreaking story. In addition to being instructed on the wisdom of waiting to have children, Rebecca was further taught by her own mother that motherhood was about the worst thing that could happen to a woman.
She writes, “My mother’s feminist principles coloured every aspect of my life. As a little girl, I wasn’t even allowed to play with dolls or stuffed toys in case they brought out a maternal instinct. It was drummed into me that being a mother, raising children and running a home were a form of slavery. Having a career, travelling the world and being independent were what really mattered according to her.”
But Rebecca sought out marriage and motherhood anyway, and at age 34 gave birth to a child. To her surprise she discovered that motherhood can make a woman blissfully happy and that children are a blessing.
Sadly, after trying to conceive again, at age 38, she is unable. As much as having a child has enriched her life, she regrets that she discovered this joy so late in life. She should have had children when she was younger.
ABOVE IS SIMPLY ONE EXAMPLE OF THE LIES OF FEMINISM.
Here are a few more!
When it comes to comparing the claim of "patriarchal societal male advantage" to mortality rates, workplace death rates, criminal sentencing outcomes, violent criminal victimization, sexually specific medical research funding, and a long list of other factors:
“In sentencing, women receive better outcomes; consistent with women’s being treated paternalistically in court. Although some contend that the sentencing guidelines harm women, studies have usually concluded that females are sentenced more leniently than males.”
According to the US Department of Labor the sexual distribution of individuals killed on the job improved to the benefit of men in 2010. With an improvement of 1 percent, only 92% of those killed on the job in 2010 were men.
Men are also 94 to 97% of the homeless in the United States, and 78.9% of suicides.
Men today die on average 6 years sooner than women. In 1920 the variance was one year. The death rates for prostate and breast cancer are similar, but because men die of other things more frequently-accidents, war, heart disease etc., there are fewer men left to die of prostate cancer.
Women also control over 65% of discretionary spending worldwide. In the top 20 markets, women control $10 trillion of $15.3 trillion in consumer discretionary spending. This is known to manufacturers, retailers and advertisers, and is used to drive the profit model in spite of the endlessly claimed “wage gap”. The wage gap lie starts from an element of truth. The life-time earnings of women are lower on average than the life-time earnings of men. That this translates to lower pay for the same work is where the spin-doctoring starts. Women, on average, work fewer hours over their lifetimes, and chose jobs affording flexibility, access to friends and family and with lower physical risk. That Bob and Betty work the same job with the same hours, training and seniority is one of feminism’s big lies, repeatedly debunked, but endlessly recycled.

I always saw feminism as being the right to choose your path in life be it college/career and delayed family or to choose to be a housewife and mother above all else. that it meant it was our choice and not slavery forced on us.
Well that is part of the problem You have seen it for what you would take from it. Which is ok in part. The problem is you didn't look at the claims they have made and look to see if these claims are legitimate.
If I claimed the sky was green.. and that you had just been told it was blue.. YOU COULD VERIFY IT. And you would.. wouldn't you?
Why is it that we don't do that with other things we are told/taught?!

you have a very very very valid point.
Please do not friend request me. I am not accepting any friend invites. sorry.
Wow! Totally untrue!
So it is totally "irrelevant" how true the source of information is that you are being educated through?
The only thing a woman needs to know about is how to be fertile? Did you really just say that?
Only following someone else is the ONLY problem a woman has? REALLY??
Quoting Anonymous:
It is irrelevant if a woman is or is not a feminist. It is a women's responsibility to understand her own fertility. If a woman blindly follows what another person tells them, that is her problem...

Huh?
i dont really care if this truly pertains to your post .but one thing that i always found confusing about feminism is that i have been led to beleive that its fake in a way becuase feminists want to be equal but still feel that men should be chiavlrous ( holding doors open,etc ) but by still wanting men to do that its not really equal ... so is that true, partially true or just something that gets spread around ?
HUH?
Are you having problems comprehending me?
Are you the same anon..?
Are you just playing games?
