A Mormon Feminist Who Believes In Equality

A shout out to someone who actually makes an ounce of sense.  Never did I imagine that there would be an individual who I actually agree with who claims both the Mormon and Feminist label, but this individual actually makes a strong case in his written narrative. Too bad though he is still promoting a crooked movement.

Let's Focus Only On Women

In the US It's Women's Equality Day, and this is the White House Response.

Starts off with good intentions, of course focusing on women since its Women's Equality Day, or as I like to call it, Women's Focus Day, since as the article progresses, one find's equality has nothing to do with the article despite the often repeating of the word.

And Now the Fallout

So it has finally happened, after all the hysteria about rape and sexual assault on college campuses nationwide, that we see this as a resulting consequence. Of course the article is very polite in relaying the message that men are not interested in women anymore during their college years who happen to be college students, so instead I guess they are finally going to start focusing on their studies.  I guess this is a good thing, seeing as it takes a woman to destroy a perfectly good man. Out sons are now safe to pursue their dreams of achieving something worthwhile, and not having the stigma of marriage and family to get in the way. Heck, isn't this the message we've been giving women? Career first then family? They could have it all, so why can't a man?

Will the Rape Hysteria Epidemic Ever End?

So now the latest concerning the rape epidemic that supposedly exists in our academic institutions nationwide. It seems that in order for feminists to continue their otherwise pointless existence and suckle happily off the tit of your hard earned taxpayer, they have determined that a zero tolerance policy is not enough because the fact that there are now so few actual sexual assaults and rapes being reported is proof that the problem is worse than ever. Didn’t I touch on this in another post?

Marriage Then and Now

I often can’t help but remind myself of my situation. Being in a relationship is something I often yearned for while making my way through life, and after establishing myself as a man, I often wondered why I could not make one work. I’m glad I took the time to live and grow, waiting until I was ultimately sure of what I wanted, but even still to this day I wonder on occasion about my choice. I know what a raw deal it is for a man to marry in this day and age, but little have I realized that this is nothing new, only worse.

Is This How Feminism Helps Men Too?

I hear so often now how feminism helps men too, and there are even lists that demonstrate (albeit poorly) how feminism accomplishes this. Yet too often I read articles that routinely mention problems both sexes face, yet men are systematically left out of the equation. Here is the latest, one where feminists mention how they just want women to have the freedom to go to school without being kidnapped, all the while purporting to be in support of men’s issues. That was the point of the article right, to show that feminism is all about women and men. 

Legal Right's Women Have That Men Don't

A well written piece and a little refreshing too because I have to be honest, despite the MRHM speaking of female privilege all the time, here is something actually showing rights that women have that men do not.  While the meaning of privilege is often subjective,  it's hard to deny something you can prove concretely.  In this case privilege enshrined in law.

Women Against Feminism, It's About Time

When I read through many of the points that Mormon Feminists, I was surprised at what tenets of feminism they endorsed, which they say are issues as well for female members of the LDS church. Now we have the women against feminism, who have come out to prove first and foremost that feminism is just a label and not representative of a hive mind of the female gender. Up until now, many equated feminism with women, and speaking against one you spoke against the other, which is why the word misogyny gets tossed around like some kind of buzz word to silence the opposition every time someone has the audacity to question feminism.

Ideas About Religion

In speaking with me recently ex-LDS brother  a few weeks ago, I came to a sudden realization: ex-LDS members may have read and interpreted the scriptures, but they 'often fail to understand it, (my brother is not the first ex-LDS member I have known by the way). In addition, they also dissent from the apostolic leadership, presuming them to be wrong on several important doctrinal issues, rationalizing their point by even thinking God would be of the same mind as they are. Finally they abandon faith for more readily perceivable and concrete facts. This is why currently they tend to turn to science for answers.
