#WomenAgainstFeminism Goes Viral as People Explain Why They Don't Need Feminism Anymore

A SOCIAL media trend #WomenAgainstFeminism is creating controversy overseas, going viral in the US and re-opening debate on how far women have really come.

The movement originated from a Tumblr post in which photos have been posted of women holding up signs explaining why they don’t need feminism.

The explanations vary from “I do like being feminine”, “catcalling isn’t rape”, “cooking for my husband is not oppression”, “I love to be sexy for my man”, to “I don’t need something that tells me the actions of a slut are okay”. Here’s a few posts we found on Twitter:

The reaction to the posts have varied, with many complaining that the women do not understand feminism, while others suggest that some of the comments are a “reasonably fair description of a large, influential, highly visible segment of modern feminism”.

One of the women, Danielle Gieger, complained on Facebook that she had received death threats over her post, which said: “my self worth is not directly tied to the size of my victim complex!”

I’ve have found NO evidence that married women were forbidden to work in any Western nation. Ever. Expected? Encouraged to stay home? Yes.

Illegal?? Not one.

I’m on the WAF FB page a LOT and my daughter has already submitted her photo and we are getting *slammed* by irate feminists. And I mean *SLAMMED*.

Apparently ‘choice’ only works for a feminist if a woman chooses what they want us to choose.

One of the main arguments that the WAFs keep bringing up is the sexism towards MEN.

There are egalitarian woman who see the misandry and sexism and are fighting to be equal, but there are many traditional women that understand that WE can’t be women if the men aren’t honored. The traditional women are also fighting for their right to be women.

One point that’s been noted over and over again is that feminists hate men, but encourage women to *be* male. Cut our hair, compete as men, fight and die as men, etc. Feminists decry the value of a man, but only want traditional male power for women.

It’s an interesting conversation.
