Feminism vs. Safety And Well-Being Of Women, Not Bodily Harm

Feminism is not for everybody-- because it backfires.  Feminism is far too complex to be left to the teeming, dirty, unwashed masses.

I've witnessed that invariably [[[[inevitably]]]] the swarming, ignorant masses completely misinterpret the meaning, [[[definition]]]], purpose, and intent of feminism.

If they like it, this is only because they woefully misconstrue this sociopolitical school of thought.  They have a twisted, warped take on feminism.  And unfortunately they <<like> this off-brand, bargain basement forgery.

If they hate it, this is because they have only encountered that very same distorted counterfeit off-brand that skewered the true meaning.

It is astonishing the lengths to which an alarming number of females do NOT want to ensure their own safety.  Or take any and all necessary precautions.

____....wait,, what??!!!
No one said that a rape is your FAULT.

It is shocking the number of females that absolutely refuse to take the initiative to keep themselves safe.  ---[[[like the anger fury refusal to listen to basic logic and reason.  For example, do nottt go into a guy's apartment____  They always combat with something asinine like, """oh it's not my fault if he rps me; that is hhisss decision, I can't control hissss actions,""

I sigh exasperatedly.  No one is saying that being victim of a gruesome crime is your "fault."  But if there is a very simple step you can do for yourself that severely cuts down on the possibility of being in danger, then why would you not do it?  Something as simple as not going into a stranger guy's apartment alone can dramatically minimize the risk of becoming a victim of crime.  (Or his bungalow, shack, whatever.)  If this simple [[[[tactic, step]]]] possibly even eliminates the risk entirely, then basic logic and reason says you should take that step. 

This is not about assigning blame.  This is about doing something practical that keeps you safe.  It is so frustrating trying to get this concept through their thick skulls. 

God forbid, supposing a rppp has already happened, does it really matter whose "fault" it was?  That is not the issue.

Yes, it most certainly *is* the sick ahole's fault.  Noone is arguing with you there.  It is his fault and his fault alone.  I agree with you.

However, after the sick crime has already happened, you cannot rewind time based on whose "fault" it was.  You cannot decide through a pros-and-cons list, determine that it was in fact the criminal's fault, and then un-rpppe yourself.  Why would anyone even want to risk putting themselves in that vulnerable spot?

Time was, women used to be smart about preserving their safety and health and well-being.  They took self-defense classes.  They carried pepper spray on their keychains.  In no way did this mean that those women thought it would be their own fault if some sicko assaulted them.  They did not take it as an insult to the feminist sisterhood or anything asinine like that.

No.  They were simply being cautionary and smart.  They were being proactive.  God forbid, if they ever did find themselves in that situation, they would be armed with the ability to defend themselves.  As always, the fault still lies 100 percent with the criminal; that is a given.

I noticed that a disturbingly large number of females, like TV show characters and other placeholders in the media were particularly obstinate about taking any [[prior, pre-- bein careful reg their own helth.]]].  If a teenage girl's parents told her they did not want her to walk down a dark alley ever, and especially not ever by herself, she took it as a personal insult.  She started screeching, "no I'm a strong capable wom in charge of my own life and if I want to walk down a dark alley by myself at night nobody can stop me!!!"  And I would just think to myself, geez how stupid can some people get?

-- it would behoove them to get away from the mindset that___
[[[they really need to get away from the mindset that just because men do something, this automatically makes it the right choice.  I have covered this extensively.

•••• this next one is more of an outer fringe missive.  This one is about mistakes, screwing up with bad judgment, and self-destructive behv.
--- wnm getting into all sorts of drug addictions, chemical dependencies, [[[[rehab___???]]].  Because they see men do this and, like a [[[petulant___]] nottoobright little kid that sees an adult doing somtn, wnm started pouting, "heyy we want to do it too!"""

They think that if women engage in conduct that is boorish, rude, loud, gross, unhygienic -- negative stereotypes of how men act, this is an emblem of empowerment and equality.  Cursing up a storm because they think this makes them look tough.  Hmm... back when I was in middle school, I recall that a lot of the new little Lilliputian sixth-graders would curse like sailors because they were trying to appear tough, formidable, worthy of respect according to middle school standards, etc.

---bill clintm eg.  Some lady said something alon the lines of, “when women [[[___]]], that is when we know we have true equality."

Sigh.  Shaking my head in incredulity.  Rather than insist that men elevate themselves to women's ladylike standards of decorum, instead women decided that they should reduce themselves to men's low, nonstandard behavior.  And they claim that this is a step in the right direction.  They claim that this is "equality."  Sigh.

•••• A lot of people interpret it incorrectly; they think it only revolves around the amount of money someone makes.  Wrong.

Feminism is not about money.  Feminism is about respect.

(((plybyy, prrn, psrotcte)))))$$
Recall what I have written about women CEOs.  Who gives a crap if there aren't that many of them?  Just because someone makes a lot of money, this does not automatically deem them more worthy of respect than a person with a lower salary.)))
