In Sydney you have the choice of 2 newspapers:
1. The Daily Telegraph - low brow right winged rugby league paper. If you have a protruding bottom lip and love Tony Abbott then this paper is for you
2. The Sydney Morning Herald - a tabloid masquerading as a broadsheet but more intelligent than the Tele. But everyday you are hit over the head with it's feminism and feminist columnists. Starting to get nauseating
So let me clarify before we go on: yes, I still think men get a better deal than women across the board, and given the history of lack of women's rights I can see why they're a bit touchy.
But no need to go overboard like I see every single day. yesterday there was an article about written by some feminazi complaining about Les Mis (I haven't seen it btw). She objected to the women in the movie not having an equal role, and the womens only role was to be fawning over the men. Whilst I do look back at old films from the 70s and earlier (esp 50s) it is quite contemptible that women are portrayed like this. But this these days is rare and probably only came about because it's a remake of an old play (is that what it is?). Really not worth women getting their knickers in a bunch over (or is it "panties"?). I noticed the other day that in a new Sherlock Holmes series Watson is female - clearly the world is changing to give women better equality. For every Les Mis there is a female Watson.
Today's article:
I didn't read all her shit but the gist of it was: "Women should be able to have their cake and eat it to, and if we can't it's men's fault". To be more specific, it was a tirade of resentment about women not being able to have careers and babies too.
Let's be clear about this: If women want a career, they can have a career, no one is stopping them. If they want to be a home maker then they can be a home maker, no one is stopping them. The problem exists because the biologically women find it hard to have both:
1. If they pursue a career and put child birth off until the last minute, or leave it to late, many end up regretting it
2. If they forego their career and decide to be a home maker then some regret they have missed out on a career. Some feel that society is telling them "run along now and do what you were born to do
Well guess what ladies, this is not the fault of men. It's unfortunate but it is what it is. You're just going to have to deal with it.
Then there's the traditional gender roles thing. It's 2013 and we have choices, and it is accepted if roles are reversed, yet I still see these feminists get their knockers in a knot over these roles.
Guess what ladies? For most families the traditional roles work best. Men who have the egos go out and provide and protect their families, and no doubt women are better at parenting.
I just can't fathom why these feminists are so hell bent interpreting this as "women should do what they are told and get in the kitchen"? With most Australian couples it just isn't like that. These old traditional role models are not followed blindly. It's 2013 and we are intelligent and have choices. The facts are that most families weigh up the options and determine the traditional way is the best way. Some people go the other way because the female might be career minded or might have better earning capacity. This is well received in the community and is a viable choice for many couples.
Just because back in the 50s there was a lot of blind chauvenism and women were told rather than given choices does not mean if people choose the same end result today, that they arrived there with the same thinking that was common place in the 50s.
Whilst we need to continually improve equal gender rights, feminists need to stop whining about every little thing. No one takes a feminist seriously, but people take women with well articulated points seriously.

). They can embrace their feminine selves, and reject other parts of traditional womanhood. But they still anguish over the traditional and the modern, how to manage both.
