Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?
#15
RE: Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?
I don't find myself drawn to causes in general. I like women and in my own family I see lots of women with weak self image that seems to come from buying into cultural norms. But then the men in my family aren't much better off and few are educated. But the way it plays out in my family, the men have at least the overt power.

Personally I couldn't choose as a mate a woman like those in my family. My wife is from a different world culturally and every bit my equal in lots of ways, and my superior in as many ways as I am hers. So I have at least a preference when it comes to the women I associate with, and I enjoy the company of women in general. But I avoid the mincing, self-effacing sort as she does as well.

But I'm not a joiner of causes and don't need them to find meaning in life. For me it is simply a preference.

Hey, welcome to the forums Keta. Hope you find what you're looking for and that we get to hear more of what's on your mind.
