Do feminists acknowledge that women place gender roles & societal pressures on men?

If you want to call me a feminist because I believe in equal opportunity for all people and do not believe anyone's potential should be constrained by their sex (or race or religion or sexual orientation...) then feel free. But know this: whether or not you count me as one of you, I will still speak out against hypocrisy, against demagogic rhetoric, against muddleheaded reasoning, and against ideological glasses that lead to an unbearably shallow and simplistic view of human nature and the world. If you still want to call me a feminist after all that, go for it!

I don't think I have a role as a woman. I have a role as an individual, and that role is to live life happily and to touch as many lives as I can in a positive manner. We are blessed in the sense that women have already proven that we are not a disadvantaged gender.

We are capable of the same things that men are, so there's really no point in highlighting it anymore. As a woman, people tell me several sexist jokes, and they're funny for a reason - sexism (in most developed countries) has become such a non-issue that we can joke about it. I honestly can't identify with women who find "kitchen" jokes offensive.

Of course, this would all be different if I lived in another country. But I live in Canada, and this is the way things are now here.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
