Okai... I think that the only reason why womyn seem to not be equal is because they are weaker... People from ancient times brought them up to be the weaker sex... so people nowadays are still with that... iyah... I can't find the fricken words to explain what I'm trying to say...
and now womyn bring themselves up that way willingly and complain when they are treated the very way they brought themselves up. Traditionalist mindsets are of course a susbstantial aspect that holds back equality, but it's a lot more now especially because traditionalist views are being broken as we progress into the future.
If we are ever going to be as close to equal as we can get, womyn need to get rid of their comfort mindset that they like so much. Generalizing yes, but not without warrant. They need to stop treating themselves as the subservient sex, and then they can demand some credibility...but as of now it's not there entirely. A common instance, modern dating. Womyn want chivalry and want to be "treated right," but why aren't they concerned with treating their man right? See, it's the traditionalist mindset that womyn carry on just as much or more than men do. They don't pay for dates..? Thats a man's deal? Okay, continue to drive the very patriarchy you somehow try and defend with credibility, but with such hypocracy (speaking of course, if the person is an avid womyn's rights person).
One thing that needs to be ridden of, is the contradictory nature of feminism itself. Yeah, easier said than done. But they know it, and i know it. Selectively fighting a patriarchy in which they retain certain aspects they like is absurd, and again...far from credible. Womyn dress revealing only to complain about the ample stares they get from guys....uhh...isn't that partially why they were wearing them to get attention from guys and now they complain about too much attention? Deal with it, if a person dresses like that, they are the catalyst. Where is the responsibility.
Expect less, and work harder for equal rights. Don't sit back and complain about how things are now not doing anything about it. First the womyn need to abandon the subservient mentality if there is ever going to be any progression (in a matter of speaking that is).
