I have been noticing things a lot recently. Like that it seems as though Females are losing that thing that makes them Feminine. I have seen many females not willing/or unable to be feminine. They trade in the ‘damsel in distress’ role for the ‘heroine’. They think that being a woman is a weakness rather than a strength. They act like men for the most part but still look like women. When did that happen? When did it change that females wanted to be like men, who throughout history have not treated females the proper way?

Now I’m not saying I personally dislike butch/more man like females, I’m just pointing out that the world in certain cultures has done a complete turn on itself. What is the reason for this? I’m not 100% sure but I think Feminism did start the change in the way women thought of themselves. I’ve been doing some research in the area of Feminism so I have a better picture of where they stand.

Now what do you think about when you hear the word ‘Feminist’? Personally I had thought of Women that were changing society so men and women were equal. I was happy to find out this was right. Although there are parts of Feminism that can give it a negative feeling. Misandy would be one of those things. Misandy is the hatred of males as a sex (man-hater). But this is not what Feminists want. They want an equal footing with men, not for women to be top-dog and men the underdog. But because a few Feminist’s that do hate men Feminism has had this negative idea put on it.

So in today’s society is it possible for men and women to have equal rights? Is it also possible for a woman to be strong but still be a woman?

The topic is open for debate/discussion. These are just a few thoughts and possible ramblings. I’d like to hear others views.
