I said, twice, actually, that there's nothing wrong with women who want to dress in a traditionally provocative way, but they should understand that this comes from a social expectation that stems from male dominance.
I never said anything about "all other girls" or about the right or wrong thing to do, just that if you're behaving in a particular way, you should be aware of where those behaviours have come from. That, actually, has little to do with gender, but since Djanjo brought up his utterly pretend definition of feminism, I felt the need to defend real feminism.
they should" understand but im sure most of the girls just don't care and probably just dress that way because they want to get attention. and if it stemed from male dominance then its not any of us males faults that its become that way, we were born into that time.. so when females rant about that sort of stuff, it seems pointless to "me" at least..
Ultimately, regardless of gender, race, sexuality, anything - you should stand up for what you believe, and pursue change. Allowing things to remain as they are when you know that they're problematic isn't as bad as being openly bigoted, but it's still pretty bad.
these lines are smart.
:: also how inventions and life itself changes drastically.
edit: that brings up something else too. I hate when people don't stick up for what they believe in or even stick up for themselves. (which I do on the internet and get bashed for.. and its called bitching apparently, but face to face theres no way somebody would act the same, haha) when somebody doesn't agree with me or doesn't have the same opinion, I AT LEAST try to converse with them, and try to get on the same page and try to understand why they don't have the same opinion. ill then give my side, and see if they agree, if we still don't agree on the same things then thats fine, I will AT LEAST know the reasons why. its always good to ask questions, and I do that like every single day for awhile now.. because it really gives you a knowledge basis.
