Why feminism 'could be bad for your health'
Submitted by Matt on Mon, 2007-03-26 14:57
A study done in Sweden suggests a deterioration of the quality of life for people of both sexes entailed by feminist-inspired changes in society.
No sooner is this the suggestion though than the author asserts the real problem is that not enough has been done to enact "the revolution" and so more must be done. Where have we heard this before?
Excerpt:
'The report said: "The results suggest an unfortunate trade-off between gender equality as we know it and public health.
"Sweden may have reached a critical point where further one-sided expansion by women into traditionally male roles, spheres and activities will not lead to positive health effects unless men also significantly alter their behaviour.
"Negative effects of this unfinished equality might be found both for women, who have become more burdened, and men, who as a group have lost many of their old privileges."
Anastasia de Waal, head of family policy at the British think-tank Civitas, urged caution in interpreting the findings.
"The danger is that the data will be interpreted as a warning against shaking up divisions of labour," she said.
"In fact, what Sweden needs is complete gender equality with, for example, men entering the private sphere to the extent that women have entered the public."'

The interviewees sound like feminist apologists.
The claim of 'women seeking equality' is very deceiving, as it's based on the premiss that an uneven quota between the sexes is derived from women being the victims of oppression and/or discrimination. When you look into the figures, you see that men as a class earn more than women because men work harder and longer.
As Belfort Bax proved in his book, The Legal Subjection of Men, there's not a single shred of evidence to validate the claim that women were ever oppressed in the Western world. During the 19th Century women received a large amount of criminal law exemption and civil law privilege over men. Under Old English Law women received a large amount of impunity because they didn't have the same "rights" as men. Well, women now have rights, yet they still receive a large amount of criminal law exemption (IE. convicted women are less likely than convicted men to receive a custodial sentence)and civil law privilege (IE. Divorce, child support).
Mens fault again
Ok, the feminists created a problem and men have to change themselves to COMPLY to fix it.
Let them clean up their own mess, they changed, they can change back...they are the ones fighting nature if we do the same it will be more chaotic.
I'm all for equality...
...but the feminists can get back in the kitchen and make me a friggin' sandwich. The rest of us men and women who regard each other as legal equals and human beings of equal value will be busy getting on with our lives, thanks.
I just love the suggestion that men should be women so women don't have to. NOT.
No amount of privilege and special treatment will ever be enough for these princesses of paranoia and persecution. Why the media wastes the ink feeding their pathological narcissism is beyond me.
