Maybe People Should Not Look Up To YouTube Atheist
RE: Maybe People Should Not Look Up To YouTube Atheist
(December 11, 2013 at 9:39 pm)MindForgedManacle Wrote: For example, even after women gained the right to vote (good in my booksl I hope I needn't have to say) and were getting jobs outside the home, men were, for example, responsible for paying taxes on their income. So if a women chose not to pay said taxes, then their husband would be legally penalized for tax evasion.

I'm always troubled by people who bring up stuff like this as some form of argument against feminism, because I and the other feminists I know (maybe I associate with a more level crowd, I dunno) would find your example to be a problematic issue that needs to be redressed, just as much as the voting thing.

I'm not saying the movement doesn't have its fair share- perhaps more so- of screamers and bad arguments, but that's not all feminism is about. "Proper" feminism, so to speak, is about equality; one could argue, as I'm doing now, that not having those duties assigned to them as much as men furthers the impression that women are incapable of shouldering them, a stereotype that works against feminism very much.
