I consider myself a radical feminist, but this website is different from my beliefs only where it makes reference to God.

How dare all of you women call yourself feminists while remaining conservative.
Conservative thought is what disallowed women voting until the 1920's, not even a hundred years ago.
Conservative thought told women that their husbands were the bosses, no matter what. And the conservative justice system allowed them to beat their wives until the 1940's.
So...Please drop your feminism bull...You're liberal and you know it. You embrace progressive values and demand to have control of your own lives.
Congratulations on tricking yourselves into thinking that feminism is some sort of conservative trait. Your tricks won't play here...

The only thing modern "feminists" care about is bashing men and keeping abortion legal. Susan B. Anthony was pro-life. Half of the babies killed by modern feminists are female.

How dare all of you women call yourself feminists while remaining conservative.Did ya even read the article at the URL posted above?  . . . I thought not. Conservative thought is what disallowed women voting until the 1920's, not even a hundred years ago.Some STRAINS of conservative thought kept women from voting until the '20's, told women that their husbands were the bosses, and allowed for wife-beating until the '40's : the bigoted, backwardass, anti-intellectual strains. But if you think that the belief that women should have to work for what they want like everyone else isn't a conservative value, then you're using a different dictionary than I.

Moslems are told in the Qur'an that beating their wives is perfectly natural and necesary at intervals--why don't you go assualt Turkey? Do us all a favor. . .

I think you're just a semi-sentient bot programmed to scan Internet forums and post racist and/or religious comments based on certain keywords that you find in your search. This thread is an example. You did a thorough check of the words in this thread and came up with several keywords that because of your programming trigger a response. You found the word feminist in this thread, so you searched a database of possible replies, and randomly chose one of them. This is how you came up with this absurdly racist nonsense about invading Turkey which doesn't seem to have a freaking thing to do with this topic. I'm sorry, but currently there is just no evidence to suggest that you actually exist as a real person. |

Actually, no. Feminism is highly prevalent in the US, but very little elsewhere. Shouldn't Feminists set priorities? They're complaining about this, that, and the other forms of non-existent discrimination in the US, while in many nations, women are beaten, physically mauled, oppressed in every matter, etc. In Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries, if the wind blows off a passing women's veil, she is beaten severely. There you are for your liberal nonsense of all cultures being equal. When last I looked, Western civilization was just a touch above that.

There you are for your liberal nonsense of all cultures being equal. When last I looked, Western civilization was just a touch above that. All cultures are not equal, I agree. There are uncivilized peoples. It is one of the more evil aspects of liberal philosophy that everybody is equal;no, you are guaranteed certain equal rights, but you must work to be truly equal. The aborigines are not civilized! Anyone who says so has their head in the clouds. Civilization requires certain technological and artistic advances which the aborigines and other native tribes of various areas do not have. However, your attacks against the middle eastern world are on bad ground, my friend. The problem does not lie in their religion, it is in the interpretation of that religion. Almost all religions are founded upon principles of tolerance. In fact, the only religon which seems to be to be somewhat intolerant by nature is Hinduism. It appears to put people in a strict caste system, and does not allow for any freedom of opportunity. I hear, though, that there are some sects that are more moderate. I do see your point, though. It is ridiculous that these women are crusading for equality that they already have while completely neglecting the fact that there are other women that are a lot worse off than them. I retract my comments about you being a semi-sentient bot. If you are, then you are very well programmed. |

Certainly there are more moderate and open divisions in any religion. I just think that people are "making a mountain lion out of a kitten" on feminism issues. I would have to say, for the most part, that women are not discriminated against in the workplace in the US any more. If anything, men are.
And no, I'm not a sentient bot, lol.

I'm a woman and I agree with Angmar. Women are not discriminated against. If anything, men are. Feminism has caused an attitude of distrust among the sexes.
There is nothing peaceful about the fundamentals of Islam. Read the Koran.

I do intend to read the whole thing someday, along with all of the other religious books, and if I do find the Koran to to be intolerant, then I may revise my view of the religion. However, I am puzzled by how the religion could be intolerant, when the Arabs were hardly known for imposing themselves upon the Christians they conquered. It has been speculated, though, that they did this for monetary reasons and not because of any inclination towards tolerance. I do hope that Christianity and Islam can live together in this world in peace. If I am wrong, then I hope that the truth will come to me someday. |

Islam is not just a religion; it's a form of government. Those governments are responsible for most of the world's current human rights abuses.
They aren't tolerant of Christians. They kill them!
