History of Feminism

(19,240 posts)If men fear a cold, castrating bitch who withholds love, then feminists are anti-sex. If they fear a woman who has sex with other guys (aka a slut) then feminists are pro-sex. Both are tied up with feelings of rejection and poor self esteem and the notion that they (these mostly men but a few women) would feel good about themselves if only some woman had not treated them like shit.
Women (and more than a few men) project shit onto men, too. However, women do not have as much power in this society so it is more difficulty for them to turn their fears into MSM headlines and blockbuster motion pictures. Men who have a beef with their cold dads have a tremendous social impact.
Since we have a matriarchy in which mothers indoctrinate daughters into a not so secret all female club, there is less woman against women projection but its happens. I sometimes wonder how many of the Right to Life women felt unloved by their moms.
