Although I do not agree with your thoughts there is nothing wrong with wanting what you want. It becomes wrong when you try to force your wants and desires on to someone else or when you ridicule someone else’s dreams and choices. That is the wonderful thing about feminism it gives women options. You have the option to look pretty for the boys, to look pretty for yourself, or to roll out of bed and go to class looking not so pretty. But to say you are appalled by another women’s choice-that is appalling in itself. Every women should have the right to choose her own path in life and do whatever makes her happy. If being married and looking pretty is what makes you happy then you should do that and you should do it with pride. But you should never ever degrade another women (or man) for going after what makes them happy. Image yourself in a world were looking pretty and being married and taken care of was not an option. Where you were ridiculed and degraded for having those types of dreams and goals. Imagine your only option being to go to school get a degree and work full time. That is a world without feminism. A world were women don’t have the right to pursue their goals and live there dreams. And women do not go to university to take over a man’s job, they go to make themselves better people and to reach their dreams. The same way you want to look pretty so you can find a boy and get married and live your dream. Feminism is all about women having options to do whatever it is you want go to university, work, get married, have babies. Feminism is not about forcing your opinions on others and if someone has made you think that is what being a feminist is about I am very sorry. Feminist only want women to be equal-not superior.

Do you lose respect for yourself for being a hypocrite about sex on the first date? Do you lose respect for yourself because you degrade yourself by having such sexist beliefs as a women who has sex on the first date is not good enough to be your girlfriend? If a women who puts out on the first date isn’t the kind of girl you want to be with then why do you have sex with her on the first date? Do you lose respect for your male friends when they talk about first date sex? Do you think a women will have less respect for you for putting out on the first date?

Nor is it the cause for loss of morals in our country. Feminism by definition is equality for men and women. That means women being equal to men in the workplace and men being equal to women in regards to child rearing. I completely agree that we need to pay more attention to our children but blaming feminism is sending the wrong message to them. If you would read feminist literature or visit a website like National Organization for Women you would see that feminist want to bring back the morals you talk about. We want families to be strong and children to have every advantage they can. Wanting equal rights for our daughters is not the reason that parents get divorced and kids become ‘whacked out’. So many people are quick to blame women when something bad happens within the family but what about the men-the husband and father? He is equally responsible. I know plenty of men who have conceived a child with a women and then was no where to be found. So please do not just send your message about responsible parenting to women only. It takes two to create a child and those two people need to raise the child together. Feminism will be alive and well until women are seen as equal to men, not inferior or superior. When women are equal in government, the workplace, home, and school. When people realize it is not OK to make offensive comments about women or to look at us like we are sex objects and treat women like the only things they are good for is cooking, cleaning, sex and baby making then maybe feminism will start to be on ‘its way out’. But until then for mine, my sisters, my daughters, and granddaughters sake feminism will remain strong.
