HA!

In this case, actions speak louder than words. You've done nothing here but demean women's decisions because they don't agree with you. You are a bad feminist. You don't have to personally support every decision every woman makes, but you know what? You don't even support her ability to choose a decent decision for herself unless made by your shitty standards.

What's worse is that it's not just "you" saying it. You're acting like it's the only possible way for any valid decision to be made. The rest of us are just poor weak women who don't know how to make good decisions until you show us the light. Oh, but only women, men you won't give grief to.

Yeah, you're a misogynist in feminist's clothing.

Protip: when all you have left are personal insults and ad hominem attacks, then it's clear you've lost.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, she won. There was much more in that comment than "personal attacks."

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

As I said below, by that logic "Women should stay in the kitchen" isn't misogynistic. "Should" in vernacular usage implies a suggestion rather than a demand ("this is a good idea, but you're free to ignore it"). "Must" is what would've made it imperative,.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

And that doesn't work because that case was never a "should." It was a "you have to or fucking else."

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

So saying things like "women should..." can never be misogynistic?

Historically, you are 100% right; however, today there are millions of people out there talking about what women "should" do, and I can guarantee you that most of them are misogynistic.

tbh i'm starting to think you're the "sockpuppet"

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Hardly. I'm just calling sockpuppet because anon comments agreeing with each other spaced only a few minutes apart just screams "sockpuppet" to me.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know about you anon, but it'd be very hard for me to type out a decent reply that quickly, especially multiple times over. Besides, wouldn't someone be more likely to sock-puppet after a lull in conversation?

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Not really, if you type fast enough.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

protip: anon comments tend to come fast and hard because, as we're being anonymous, we don't get email notifications. If you don't get your comment in to another anon quickly enough, they're likely to not see it.

This is why anonclusters like this thread look like they are all by the same person. A person who really likes talking to themselves and arguing with themselves about feminism, and then calls themselves out on being sockpuppets when anons agree with each other.

Oh wait. I meant, agrees with themselves. Because I am you, too, sockpuppet!anon. We must all be the same person really.

There's this thing called the "F5" button. Perhaps you've heard of it?

And since every other anon here is agreeing with the frothing anon above, that's why I'm calling sockpuppet. A bunch of anons agreeing with themselves in barely spaced comments has all the hallmarks of sockpuppetry.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

F5 doesn't work on my computer, anon.

You'd think someone would get really tired organizing thread after thread of themselves talking to themselves and switching between writing styles...

So I have to disagree with someone every time I'm anon to be considered a different person. Got it.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry your computer's broken.

Hey, you can do whatever you want. I'm just going to assume there's some sockpuppeting going on when a bunch of anons agree with themselves a few minutes apart.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Protip: When your point is "should" doesn't mean "must" saying "All women should stay in the kitchen" becomes equally valid. Does that mean it's not misogynistic either? After all, it's a suggestion not a demand.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Nobody ever said "should" in that case. Believe me, it was "they fucking have to."

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

My point was that "should" is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. While historically it was definitely a must, if someone said "they should stay in the kitchen" today, it's definitely misogynistic.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

And in case you failed reading comprehension, "you should make sure you're making the best decision" is a far cry from "you should be subservient to your husband." Goddamn, are thinking and self-examination really a bad thing these days?

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

No, it's wasn't "You should be making the best decision" it was "You should be making the decision based on my method." There is an inherent flaw there where dorknessrising assumes their method is the best/only valid method for making decisions for all women everywhere.

For example: Two women have the same decision: take the higher paying job they wouldn't like as well, or take the lower paying job they would prefer. According to dorknessrising's logic, there is only one right answer, anything else is giving into societal pressures and no woman should do that and if they do, they're not their own person.

(frozen comment)

I hardly understand why this is even an argument. Yes, women should carefully consider their important life decisions. People should do that. But the idea that women can never make good, appropriate decisions because they're not full individuals because of societal gender constructions is total bullcrap. That argument is anti-feminist; it is demeaning. It doesn't sound much different than a man saying "You women don't know what you want."

And if the crux of your argument is really just "people should make thoughtful decisions," well... duh? That's so stupidly obvious I don't know why you're still going on about it.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

This is exactly it.

Everyone should make good decisions, women should make good decisions. The problem comes when you start saying "people should make decisions based on x, or else..." particularly when it's followed with "they're not really making their own decisions" or "they're not their own people." This is especially true when targeting a minority group.

A classic example would be a woman deciding to put her family's wants ahead of her own. Society tells her she should, and dorknessrising's decision making process tells her she shouldn't. Does that mean that every woman doing something for the sake of her significant other isn't her own person or isn't making her own choices?

(frozen comment)

[ibroketuesday.livejournal.com]

Agreed very much. This argument reeks of condescension because it assumes that women aren't their own people with fully-formed identities, opinions, and desires, but rather delicate fluffballs prone to being wafted every which way under society's influence. It also generalizes women into a mass, when actually, we're a group of very diverse people. Undoubtedly, gender expectations had a hand in creating each of us, but once created, aren't we still individuals? As a woman, when I sit down to make a decision, I don't consider how some abstract social force may be influencing my thought process. I think, "What do I want? Does this feel good? Can I live with this? What consequences may there be? What benefits?" etc. If I have any hangups, even if they're caused by society's pressures, I have to deal with them as private psychological issues. And when I consider my family when I make decisions, I'm not thinking as a feminist, asking myself whether I'm capitulating to the priorities of a patriarchy that would have women be their families' beast of burden. I'm thinking as a daughter and a sister who loves her family very much.

I am a feminist, and gender roles & the way society constructs gender identities are among the importnt issues that need to be examined. But criticizing and controlling women's choices is a horrible way to go about it.

YES. THIS. EXACTLY.
