Why do feminists have such a bad reputation?
#12
RE: Why do feminists have such a bad reputation?
This seems a bit one-sided. Should men also try to be what women want, or are they free to be whatever they wish while expecting women to fit into a specific role? I don't care for radical feminists because of the "radical" part, not the feminist part. A woman who demands that all woman fill some kind of role, and chastises those who don't, doesn't seem all that different from a man who encourages women to fill some age-old stereotype because it's 'what men want.'
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
