Women do not have to:

[Auroramarianna]

How can a woman not be feminist?? Seriously you may think women have no problems in the western world, even though we do, but look at other cultures. There are women all over the world being genitally mutilated,  have no freedom, can't drive, leave the country...like seriously? And then in the western, the over valuing of beauty in women over anything else
Yeah...not a feminist...right.

Let us be very careful of bashing other peoples views.

I will not tolerate it.

I am sorry but I am having a hard time understanding her view.

That's fine.

We can discuss stuff in a mature way.

Remember there are people who cannot understand how someone can be trans. We need to learn to argue logically and not just emotionally.

Well, it not really emotional. how can one not be a feminist in a world women are OPPRESSED for being women?

[Cindy]

OK, but maybe it is a good idea not to argue with me on the open forum?

Feel free to pm me.

I certainly agree with your point of oppression, subjugation and vilification.

But that was not the posters intent; if you read her post in context.

No problem, I can explain it fairly easily.

It has to do with my personality, and the kinds of relationship dynamics I fit into.

Personality wise, while I know where I stand on things and have an opinion, I am very much submissive.

I like having doors opened for me. I like having my coat taken off and put back on for me. I like and really enjoy all the 'female privileges of chivalry' that are so frowned upon.

Relationship/dynamic wise, I like to be with a dominant man.

I like to please him. I like to be told what to do. I thrive on a man's approval. I'm not talking about an unintelligent orge of a man of course - simply a man who is 'on top'.
---

These are not weaknesses. This is the way I am. This is what I want, and on many levels, need.

So, on paper I am almost stereotypically anti-feminist. But I am not against feminism, at all.

What I mean is - not fitting the bill of a feminist does not make me less of a woman. Nor does it make me more of a woman.

Hence, one does not need to be a feminist to be a woman, or vice versa.

Ride only on the back of a 4 wheeler

Try to keep the deer blood off our jeans.

Try to get the deer blood out of your clothes.

Only ride in the passenger seat (silly boys lifted trucks are for girls).
