That's sad, but whenever I hear Egalitarism, I hear "I don't understand feminism and I hate these stupid hoes" Can you give me arguments ? Why do you think feminism is only about women?
Okay, let’s break the two words in question down to their basest components.
Egalitarianism. An Egalitarian is someone who subscribes to the practice of Egality. Egality is simply an obsolete word for Equality.(Edit: form of ---> word for. Sorry, had the wrong wording. I was drunk when I wrote all this) Equality comes from latin, aequālitās. Ism is from the Greek Ismos, which means action, or to act upon. Aequālitās Ismos. Equal Action. To act upon the behalf of equality.
Feminism. Derived from, Femininus, a latin root word for Woman, or female. Feminine. Ism, once again, meanins action, or to act upon. Femininus Ismos. Female Action. To act upon the behalf of women.
In definition, Feminism has nothing to do with equality, and everything to do with elevating women. But that’s not evidence alone.
So, let’s look at something feminism has refused to address, on multiple occasions. Men’s roles in society. The expectations placed on us, and the responsibilities forced upon us. When you look at society, and how it’s evolved, you will no doubt see there are certain things that men are expected to do, or other things women are limited from. For example, society has, by and large, refused to ‘let’ women do dangerous, life-threatening, jobs, especially ones that required a modicum of physical strength. (Not a stupid thought,. considering Sexual Dimorphism is actually a scientific thing, and genuinely does denote certain physical differences between men and women, like Muscle Mass.)
Also, because men are, stereotypically, expected to be able to support a wife, children, and himself, on a basic paycheque, there has been a wage difference. This is true, though it’s greatly exaggerated by feminist sources. It’s still something that needs to be rectified considering modern society.
So, yes. Men have always had more privelege. More opportunities are given to them to succeed, because in order for the human race to thrive, men have had to succeed in their lives, so that women wouldn’t have to work a day in their lives. (Ideally, anyways.)
Now, considering that, let’s look at how this affects social construct. Women aren’t inherently expected to succeed. This varies, with parentage, but at large, women aren’t plagued by a constant fear of failure, a fear of being useless to society at large. Women aren’t asked to get a six figure job at 30, aren’t expected to pay for themselves, a husband, and their kids. Nothing is truly expected of them, aside that they find a husband that can take care of them. Women are taught to be self-interested, and self-interested they will be.
On the other side of the coin, Men are under the constant pressure to find a job, impress a woman, make a name for themselves, get a well-paying job, buy a house, own a car… Essentially, traditionally, men are expected to be completely self-sufficient, and be capable of supporting other people. Men need to be super-man. No less. And if that weren’t enough, we’re meant to put the needs of women above our own.
That’s how I was raised. If I didn’t have A’s in every class, I was worthless. I would be digging ditches the rest of my life. If I couldn’t do that, I was even more worthless, a worthless piece of shit. I would amount to nothing in this world.
Of course, my personal sob story? Irrelevant. These are the social pressures placed on men. We are held responsible for holding society up. We are given opportunities to make it happen, but should we fail, or should we not desire to go down that path, we are a burden.
And when Feminists are told about this, it’s not their concern, it’s not their burden. It’s not part of the Feminist agenda.
Granted, it’s cool that we’re starting to acknowledge that men can be raped, but feminists aren’t doing nearly as much to end the stigma of ‘men are never victims’ as they are to end women as victims.
It’s really great when women gain headway, in getting just as many opportunities, and equal pay, and all of that, I don’t disagree with the things BEING done.
What I disagree with, is the things NOT being done.
Men aren’t being alleviated this inherent responsibility to society. Men aren’t being alleviated of this inherent responsibility to succeed. And women aren’t being told to take responsibility in proportion to men. Women are still expected nothing of, and become exceptional when they do succeed, as opposed to men succeeding, only doing the thing their meant to do.
Women and children first.Men go down with the ship.
That is what Feminism takes no steps to correct. And I don’t see Feminists taking a step any time soon. Especially not Modern feminists.
Hi, if the fight for equality between al the genders is called FEMinism, it's because at the beginning, this movement was a struggle for women's rights. And in tribute to the first women who fought for these rights, we still call it FEMinism. End of the story bye
And somewhere along the way, someone took FEMinism and turned it in on itself, by making it all about women. I’m sorry if you’re all for Egality, but you’re not the majority. Feminists who genuinely fight for equality ARE the fringe minority, and you’re not very visible.
Whatever this new-wave of feminism is, it’s turned Feminism on its head, and made it about only women again, rather than all people. Whether you understand that, or not, isn’t really my responsibility. Someone put the gender bias back into FEMinism, and it’s hurt the whole cause.
And that’s why Egalitarianism even exists. To fight to good fight for all people. You can’t put a gender bias into Egalitarianism, because there’s no gender in the name. You can’t corrupt this ideal, in the same way you can corrupt FEMinism. Because there’s no FEM or MASC in it. There is Egality. That is all.
