There was once a large gap in the treatment between men and women and what was fair and what was not in society in the 1900s.
So much has changed. I think today there are more women in the workforce than men?
What is happening now is that men could quite easily be classified as “the ball and chain” segment of the new found roles in relationships, relegating men to a lower social position.
Feminism is obsolete, men should realise this if they want change for themselves. Nothing lasts forever.
I could try to tell my husband his status is lower then mine but, I fear he would die laughing. I see equality in true bondings. In more sexual or convenient relationships there tends to be heirarchy.
Essentially patriarchy was replaced with a matriarchy and we live in a world increasingly where men are becoming more disposable. Of course I am primarily talking about western culture here.
If men feel that way then they are wrong or chasing after the wrong females. We need both genders to be strong, intelligent, nurturing, protective and loving. Not one dominating the other.
You can talk about idealizations of equality all you want until you’re blue in the face in how you perceive existence ought to be but at the end of the day nature and existence is largely unequal.
You fail to see how it is equal. You perceive the inequality that exists because you expect direct equality, something you could quantify and the truth would take away your ability to put others beneath you, to talk trash, etcetera; it would call you to look at your own faults more and your lack of confidence and surplus of insecurity causes you to refuse any evidence of the equality that is actually there.
