A feminist’s definition of a strong woman is a woman who would take on ALL the responsibilities of a man (Not talking about whether they can pull through or not), essentially doing everything a man would, in the process, destroying every bit of ‘womanliness’ in her.

I STRONGLY disagree with that. Women want to get man’s responsibilities? Go right ahead, as long as them can pull it through. Femininity has NOTHING to do with women trying to take jobs, responsibilities that were previously assigned to men only. I am assuming you are referring to femininity as sex appeal. That is a personal taste, and it varies from man to man.

As for men feeling intimidated by women that try to “replace” them? Come on. That seems to me like insecurity. There is a difference between COMPETENCE and ARROGANCE. I ADMIRE men that are better then me and I try to achieve their level of skill, or at least LEARN from them. I would not have any problem to do the same with a woman that had the same level of skills. However, when this comes with arrogance, I don’t feel necessarily intimidated, but ANNOYED or DISGUSTED. If you are good, your actions will speak by themselves, there is no need to shove it on other people’s face. The thing is, WOMEN do that a lot WITHOUT having the skills. So the problem with FEMINISM is not that it tries to make women replace men (to be honest, I feel MEN could use the brake of being BLAMED for everything that goes wrong), it is that it does that without accounting them with the RESPONSABILITIES and CONSEQUENCES that comes with such positions. They want the BENEFITS without the SACRIFICES. That’s, in my opinion, is the problem. This “women taking men’s position in society is making them less feminine” thing seems a tradcon argument to me. Besides, they can work hard and STILL look good/feminine. The same way MEN can work hard and workout/look fit. It is harder, but then again, you get what you work for.

Let the women take men’s responsibilities for a change, and let them SUFFER the consequences that comes with it! Maybe than they will start treating us like HUMAN BEINGS, instead of freaking tools.

Anyway, this is my 2 cents on the subject.

It is just that the sentences you used (the ones I quoted)  usually are the main arguments I see tradcons using to claim we should get back to the traditionalism, with women pregnant on the kitchen and men being the only ones responsible for the survival of the rest/disposable. It might have worked in the past, but I don’t see this working with our current level of technology/society. I used to let tradcons pass, but I am starting to think that they are as toxic to men as feminists.

But, then again, I might have jumped the gun here.

Anyway, if we are indeed saying the same thing, I shall take my leave.

Carry on

Cheers
