The Ultimate Goal of Feminism
The Ultimate Goal of Feminism
For those that wonder where feminism is going, read the following and burn it into your brain. And don't let yourself be lulled into a false sense of security by any western female that spouts off with the usual "I'm not THAT kind of feminist!" line. Were that truly the case, there would already be a visible and vocal movement. It would consist of western females marching in the streets, as men did in the 60's and 70's in support of feminism.
Equality law could bar white men from jobs

Glass ceiling: Harriet Harman faces opposition from Cabinet colleagues over her plans because they do not want businesses antagonised further
White men could be legally blocked from getting jobs under new anti-discrimination laws being considered by Labour.
Employers would be able to give jobs to women or ethnic minority candidates in preference to other applicants, under the plans unveiled by equalities minister Harriet Harman.
If two candidates were equally qualified for a position, employers would be able to reject the white person or the man in favour of a black person or a woman.
But the plans are due to be criticised by business leaders and last night, even equalities campaigners expressed doubt.
Miss Harman - known as Harriet Harperson for her politically correct views - wants to look at how to bring U.S.-style "positive action" to Britain, saying it is vital to ensure the workforce more accurately reflects the demographic make-up of the population.
She says too many women and people from ethnic minorities are being held back because they cannot break through the "glass ceiling".
The new laws would only come into play where two equally qualified candidates had applied for the same post, allowing the employer to tip the balance in favour of minority candidates.
Businesses would not be compelled to favour the female or black candidate but the law would be changed to ensure they could not be sued for turning down a white man.
The proposals would also allow universities to select more female students in male-dominated subjects such as science.
But equal rights campaigners said the new rules would have a limited effect, and that action should be targeted on equal pay.
Katherine Rake of the Fawcett Society, which campaigns on equal pay, said: "How you would really hold that up in a court of law is not clear and, if it isn't, employers may be reluctant to use it.
"You are probably talking about a handful of cases."
The present law says employers are allowed to say they welcome applications from minority candidates, and they are allowed to promote jobs to specific groups.
Theresa May, Conservative spokesperson for women, said: "One of the real problems facing women today is the gender pay gap.
"If Harriet Harman really wants to help women in the work place she should strengthen the existing laws on equal pay. We have recently put forward proposals to do just that and our proposals would have a real impact on women's lives."
A spokesman for Harriet Harman said: "This is under discussion but no decisions have yet been made."
The changes would be included in the new equalities Bill, which will also give new rights to mothers to breast-feed in public. Golf clubs would have to give female players equal access.
Miss Harman also wants to force companies to conduct "pay audits", reviewing staff salaries to ensure they are not underpaying women.
But she is facing opposition from within the Cabinet on this from ministers who are worried about antagonising business yet further.
Last year Miss Harman called for all-black shortlists in constituencies with high ethnic-minority populations.
She said that unless action was taken, it would take decades for the make-up of the Commons to accurately reflect the make-up of British society.
But the plan immediately came under attack from ethnic minority MPs on the Labour backbenchers - saying black people should be selected on merit.

Well, I do think that the US is slowly becoming like a third world country, but not because of anything involving marxism or feminism. I think it is simply happening because of the increasing gap between the rich and the poor in this country.
Worrying about blacks taking over is unecessary. There are more latinos than blacks and the latinos are reproducing at a faster rate. At least most of the black community are US citizens who pay taxes. It's simply part of globalization that every nation has to deal with many immigrants from foreign cultures. We can't take back the invention of the jet airplane and the telephone.
America never inherently "belonged" to white Europeans. Like most world powers they simply took it from its indigenous people by military force and destroyed the culture of the Native Americans in the process.
Although I'm white, have mostly white friends, and admire European culture, I don't feel that white people have some inherent right to economic success in America. White supremacy was at the heart of the Nazi's ideology, and I wish you wouldn't spread it here.

Okay, I'm glad you're not spreading white supremacy. I didn't call you a Nazi directly; I was just cautioning people from going down that path. I understand when people get frustrated with certain ethnic groups, but they should avoid demonizing and dehumanizing them.gordan wrote:No one is trying to spread white supremacy. I certainly am not one. This proves my point that if you defend your own roots if you happen to be white you are a called a Nazi. This is one of the reasons I want to leave the USA and is also why I found this site.
I understand your frustration about being called racist simply for admiring European things. I think this phenomenon is most apparent in the liberal arts departments in academia where professors often associate European things with a "harsh, teutonic culture" (read "German" which sublimates the Nazi connection) and associate anything homosexual or non-white with radiant purity.
Yeah agreed.
