To women: Have we really come a long way, baby? Are we making the right choices for ourselves and our children in our relationships? Or are we just whining our lives away? I am not a feminist; I just think women have wimped out and can’t make a decision for themselves. We don’t believe our intuition and feel someone else has to validate us. Ladies, it’s time to get out of the bathtub, blow out the aromatherapy candles, put down the journals and get out the flippin’ door!

I think women have come a long way. The point of feminism is for women to have choices in their lives and be able to decide where and what they want to be. For the most part, we have achieved this. Of course, there are women who aren’t making the best choices for their lives and then whining about the results, but there are a lot of men out there doing the same thing. Women don’t have a monopoly on whining. I think more people in general need to take charge of the direction their lives are taking. Too many people – women and men – let life just sort of wash over them.

On the contrary, women have come a long way in being independent, demanding respect and equality and being successful business people in the United States. The only down side to it is that our children and attention to family may suffer as a result of being that successful business person; if more attention is being paid to one aspect of your life than the other, the latter will surely suffer. As the divorce rate increases, it is becoming more necessary for women of single-parent households to support and provide a good home for themselves and their children. What is a girl to do? Women are having to make all of the decisions inside and outside the household. Don’t throw away those aromatherapy candles yet; if no one else will pamper us, we might as well pamper ourselves!

I read your statements about women and how they should make desions for themselves and stop ‘wimping out.’ You also said that you are not a feminist, but really that’s the whole motive behind feminism. Feminism seems to have been given this stigmatism of being a negative. I am a feminist. I don’t hate men and want to do away with them, I don’t blame men for all the world’s problems and I’m not a lesbian. Equality and the freedom to dictate one’s own life is what feminism is about. It’s OK to say you’re a feminist; if someone looks down on that, it’s their own ignorance for not knowing what it truly is.

I believe that women are wimping out; we are still expecting the boys to lead the way, even though we know they can’t tell their arse from their elbow!

If saying you ‘aren’t a feminist’ isn’t wimping out, what is? You can’t even say on a message board that you are for equal rights for women? Scary.
