Women have always been oppressed…?

No. We have not. This is a feminist myth. Women have not been ‘oppressed since the beginning of time.’ ‘Oppressed’ is a strong word to use. Oppression could describe the people of North Korea; the slaves trapped during the Transatlantic Slave Trade, or the Jews in Nazi Germany. Oppression means […]

What is a misogynist?

A person (usually a man) that hates women. A misandrist is a person (usually a woman) that hates men. I find the term ‘misogynistic’ to be often mis-used by feminists. Disney films have been accused of being ‘sexist’ and ‘misogynistic’ when I see nothing sexist about them. How is a […]

Is rape a feminist issue?

Disclaimer: this post is not proposing a ‘solution’ to how to stop rape, it is looking at rape from a humanitarian perspective and refuting the claim that it is a ‘feminist’ issue. I know men and women that have been raped and sexually assaulted. What we view as assault may […]

Female Privilege

Feminists often claim that women are so oppressed and that it’s so hard to be a woman and that men have it so much easier. I don’t see how this is empowering at all; telling people that they are constantly oppressed (when they’re not, not in the West anyway) is […]
