It is not lazy thinking, it's brilliant thinking.
It's simplistic propaganda playing to a fearful and/or hostile audience. It doesn't take much to do that.
Women were never really against any type of cruelty or decrepit unfairness,
One sure sign of an irrational objection where people are concerned is an inability to credit the object of its hostility with a rationally undeniable human variance. It insists, instead, that "all Jews are driven by a love of money" or "all women are devious". The only good thing about it is that everyone not caught in the throes of the bigoted notion can't help but note the perspective and skew.
you all divinized feminism and made the matter into something it never was.
The same is true of your "you all" nonsense. Feminism is also a broader tent than you understand or mean to, which is why people as different as Gloria Steinem and Sarah Palin can use the label to self-describe.
'Suffragettes' homes brainwashed their daughters, and it grew over time.
Suffragettes wanted the right the Constitution promised citizens, the right to vote, to be heard through the process that was premised in equality before the law. As with minorities, we failed the principle and, as with minorities, it had to be fought for and obtained through struggle.
Rather, that's precisely what it is, a social movement. As Merriam Webster would have the usage:
b: a series of organized activities working toward an objective; also: an organized effort to promote or attain an end <the civil rights movement> Merriam Webster
'- how do you call it that when the trend, which continues today, amounts to daughters taking liberal arts and suddenly being 'victims' in their privileged, elite lives?
I call that overly generalized and wildly inaccurate description the problem. It's nonsense. Women, even in this society, are disproportionately poor. Most of them aren't leading the lives of an "elite" unless you want to consider everyone in our compact elite by comparison to a group without it.... That's just your irrational hostility denying you an objective approach. And any education that isn't steeped in liberal arts is, essentially, a glorified trade school exercise.
It's a lie, which is all feminism appropriately is- lies.
Rather, the root of feminism, which is nothing more that the idea that "
men and women should have equal rights and opportunities" is right and good. Beyond that women, collectively and individually, have varying and sometimes even competing interests and ideas, as you'd expect with a large group of disparate individuals...were you capable of seeing that large group through the blood and planks you've brought to the examination.
I doubt one genuine statistic, claim, or otherwise even exists within it, because I've never seen one that hasn't been refuted
People who speak too broadly rarely evidence a similar tendency in their reading or considerations. It's funny how that works.
Why should a man be involved in that lunacy?
A question that comes to mind each time I read you.
