Had an epiphany on feminism

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah, that one was gonna need some examples.

Man, I definitely have hate in my heart, but I'm not a "hater", that's based on envy, which is a quality that I'm happily lacking in.

I see that I was wrong now. I should go back to being a misanthrope and learn to equally hate and distrust everybody. Including anyone just like me. Because that is true equality seeing how humans are such f****d up beings.

In fact to quote my favorite musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

"We all deserve to die!"

As long as you are consistent, you can never be accused of an 'ism' or 'phobia'.

I hope so

What do you define as "strong"?

Overcoming challenges

To the degree that feminism is egalitarian, I've liked feminism for a long time, because I've liked equality for a long time, and as equality gets so much positive lip-service these days, I imagine I'm in good company, in as far the lip service is sincere. Most of what I dislike about it is when it displays as what I call "champagne feminism," i.e. when the privileged pursue their own advancement up the food chain without really considering the masses of women who are lower down in the pecking order.

But people who don't have both higher social motives and self-interest in their personal mix may be rare. And although I personally get very little from tales of high achievers as inspirational figures (because I don't see how thinking "what would my hero or heroine do?" would afford me any practical skill in lifting myself), I don't doubt that many people do get something from it - even if it's no more than a placebo, the benefits of placebos are well documented. Whatever gets you through the night.

I got on quite well with the "boilersuit" feminists I met back in the 1970s, and usually preferred them to the mainstream dolly-bird types, but I probably wouldn't get on so well with the more recent "sex-positive feminists." I wouldn't go so far as to say that a bleach blonde has no brain, I just don't trust the conflation of sexual attractiveness with serious political issues. But it's not for me to second-guess bleach blonde motives.

The boilersuit feminists from the 1970s are not the same as the boilerssuit feminists in the 2020s.

In the intervening 50 years the internet, social media and global travel has made objectifiable attractiveness an cashable asset. Being physically attractive opens doors for young women.

Of course in the 2020s young women can enjoy the best of both worlds and the crew cut, denim overall clad butch feminists have limited appeal to mainstream women compared to back in the 1970s when there were more glass ceilings than today.

Are you sure about that?

Which doors are opened and is it always in their best interest?

What about the increased odds of SA, exploitation, and manipulation?

What about their vulnerability to people who might have ulterior motives?

Do you think it’s right that they might be dated, hired, or promoted based on their looks (even in part?)

Many physically attractive girls and women are invalidated as being stupid, lazy, vain, entitled, or superficial.

Some are told they’ll never need to work because they can use partners for money and security.

Others are hated by their jealous female friends.

I suppose life is always considered to be a little easier for people who are nice looking but wouldn’t that apply to men as well?

To a certain extent but men are judged more on their financial wealth than their looks. Even then, with looks its more to do with physical strength/height > attractiveness

For women the primary asset is attractiveness/prettyness. Everything else (including personality) comes next. If you don't believe me then let the evidence speak for itself, women spend more money beautifying themselves than on any other asset they own including a owning a house or a car, on their education, regular bills or even on medical treatments over a lifetime

I am, being attractive really does make everything easier for both sexes, but I would argue that the effect is more pronounced for women just given the sexual dynamics of Western culture. I would say that one thing that attractive men have over their female counterparts is other men don't seem to target them in quite the same way I've seen women gang up on other women seen as threats, the social dynamic just isn't the same regarding looks envy among men.

Actually, this is one of those things where I've changed my mind completely from when I was younger and thought intelligence was the be all and all trait for getting through life, now I truly think you're better off being dumber but better looking, within reason.

I suppose that's all women had for millenia - just look as sexually desirable as you can and hope some wealthy patriarch will choose take you under his wing as a trophy wife while your sisters are left behind in the rat race. Meanwhile a man's "attractiveness" was much more based on how powerful / wealthy he could make himself appear to be. For a little while feminism questioned that, but it failed to bring it down, so (roughly speaking) it gave up and became part of the problem. Of course it's only a problem to an egalitarian.

It’s not that I didn’t believe you. Of course some doors are opened whether it’s for being popular, dating, being liked at work, etc. I’m just pointing out that good looking females are often at risk of exploitation and devaluation. In some instances they have to fight harder to be treated with respect. A perfect example is the young woman on that meme I posted at the start of the thread. The quote was received as being hostile or negative because she was a thin, healthy, white, affluent-looking woman. We don’t even know if she wrote that quote herself or if her image was used for political motive like a caricature. Twiz and Dox made assumptions that she was insulting men or insulting people’s moral intelligence.

When I mentioned good looking men I didn’t mean for dating. I meant for job promotions and branding. Big business likes their GQ types, just like movie stars and rock stars who are sexy bring in box office money.

Here’s Elle to explain:

What has Dox posted recently that qualifies as "flame bait?"

Back when there was still a lot of intellectual debate on WP, even feminist greens like LKL would acknowledge that he's a skilled debater.
