I came across this article titled "The Case Against Female Self-Esteem" earlier this week when one of my
facebook friends posted it.

Thankfully, she was
posting it because she disagreed with it and found it completely ridiculous, as
did I. In fact, I was seriously enraged by reading this. I won’t get into the
very specific details of it, because I could probably stay here all day and
point out everything that’s wrong with the arguments this guy is trying to
make. However, the overall message of the article was that confident, strong,
independent women who have self-esteem are unattractive to men. The author
asserts that taking on these qualities rather than the traditional feminine
qualities makes them unattractive to men, and therefore useless. He states that
if all women were fired from their jobs today, “elementary schools would have
to shut down for a couple days, but otherwise life would go on as usual.” Furthermore,
he states that no women actually want to be strong, independent, etc. We all
have a “biological” dependency on men, and therefore we only act that way
because we want someone to “lead us back to the kitchen.” I think the thing
that most shocked me was the fact that everyone who was commenting on the
article was actually in agreement with the author. What do you guys think?
Woow. I really disagree with this concept. How about it is the opposite. Men need women, how would they continue on their legacy. I am in shock.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what to say. I didn't even read the whole thing because I was so pissed off. I had to stop and read the comments and that made me more mad! Surely most of those people were being totally sarcastic about that whole thing. There is no way a rational person could look at that article and be like, "Yes! This is so true I can't believe it." I'm seriously trying to figure out if he is serious or joking. I'm hoping that he posts that crap just to get people aroused and not to be serious, because that whole thing is completely ridiculous. I get so mad just thinking about it! I have to go cool down now..
ReplyDeleteI read this article a few days ago and was furious. I completely disagree with this concept of women needing men and not being worth respecting. The only thing that was remotely true was that there are some women out there that can be self centered and entitled, but how the hell is that any different from self centered entitled men?!
