I encourage you to read my About Me page prior to reading any post on my blog.  I find it's important to know who is writing here, so that you can understand her point of view a bit more clearly.

I suppose my tagline under my title begs the question, "Sophronia, how should feminism be?"

Do I think women ought to have the right to vote; Absolutely.
Do I think women ought to be paid equally for equal work; Naturally.
Do I think women ought to be respected for their educated opinions; Of Course.
Do I think women ought to believe they are equal with men in all ways; No.

The fact of the matter is that there will always be areas in which males and females will never be alike, and ought not to be alike.

Let me say something here that the extreminists aren't going to like.  All rights that women have, were given to them by men.  This world is run by men, and regardless of the opinion that we ladies might have about where it's gotten us, it will always be run by men.  But if this world wasn't run by males, then we females would lose a great deal of those unique qualities that make us females.

If men weren't out waging war, growing the crops, hunting the animals, then women wouldn't have the opportunities to be the nurturers that we're so geared to be.  If men weren't the physically stronger of the two sexes, then who would we depend on to ensure not only our survival and safety, but the survival and safety of our children?  Before you extreminists get your boxers in a bunch, ask yourself this key question.  If you're so hot to trot to ensure your own safety, why aren't you the one getting out of the bed with a baseball bat in the middle of the night when you hear a strange noise?  If you're not the one getting out of bed, please sit down, and do try to ignore that vein that's wildly pulsating in your neck about now.

I fear this dark place that extreme feminism is leading us to.  I fear for our young girls, because they're not being shown the proper ways to behave, and they're not being given the boundaries they ought to have.  But truthfully, neither are young boys.  There's a disturbing trend that is sweeping the female gender across the world, and that is selfishness.  Some of these unfortunate children were raised by extreminists, who were too busy fighting for their rights as they saw fit, and not teaching their children what their children needed to know, to be productive members of society.  This left these children to their own devices, and gave them a large inward focus, which leads to selfishness.  There is this mentality to young women that because they have a vagina, they ought to be making the rules.  There's a mentality that the world owes them something, if for no other reason than they have a vagina.

What awaits these young girls is a life of heartache and loneliness.  The more selfish they are, the more they will be rejected by people who are searching for a meaningful relationship.  The more selfish they are, the more they're going to wind up with males who will not treat them right, because what male wants to treat a selfish female well?

It seems to me that most extreminists suffer from severe penis envy.  This is such a shame, because there is so much that is beautiful and amazing about being a woman.  These differences that we have from men ought to be celebrated, not pushed to the side and thought of as being undesirable.  We've lost a great sisterhood in this generation.  We used to cherish each other, help each other, be close confidants.  Now all we are to each other is the competition, and the enemy.  Shame on us for losing this great gift.

Feminism ought to be about being strong, educated, respected and respectable, but still being feminine.  We still need to be nurturers, care-givers, mothers, wives, friends and sisters.  Feminism shouldn't be about trying to be like men, because if we were meant to be like men, we'd be men, not women.  I wish to exhort each and every female out there to figure out what it is to be a woman, and embrace it.  I'm not asking women to try and take some big step backward, I'm just asking them to perform a reality check.  You're a woman, and being a woman is a beautiful and amazing thing.  You don't need to behave like a man to get what you want in life, or to get respected.

That is all for now, my lovelies.
