I admire strong, educated and competent women, but feminists are not. A TRUE strong woman doesn't blame men for all her problems like feminists do. A TRUE educated women doesn't blindly follow feminist dogma. And feminists are only as "competent" as what affirmative action helps them to achieve. When a woman is successful without the help of feminist policy, and does not hide behind feminism to blame men for all her problems…that is when I will admire her. Do you think this way as well? At least to some extent? @ Dark Eyes - Do you also criticize Jews for not openly opposing Nazism when Hitler was in power?

I do, but I don't like arrogance, and people who like to tell everyone how strong they are are displaying arrogance and in my opinion, typically not nearly as strong as they really are. If they were, they wouldn't have to say it. I don't know where the idea men don't want strong women came from. The majority of men have always wanted and praised strong women.

- Never thought about it to be honest. But I'll tell you something, I'm more than capable of admitting my own mistakes and short comings. The list is rather long....
But, I've finally learnt from some of them - I admire anyone who is strong, educated, and competent.
- No more than a strong, educated and comepetent man.
This is 21st century western society - no one is at a disadvantage due to their gender. I admire those who dragged themselves out of provincial areas, went against the grain/broke the glass ceiling, and came out on top. - I am one BUT I can't find my match are there any men out there with the qualities? I know you don't have them
- I don't know about anyone else, but the strongest, most intelligent and competent women I have met often identified themselves as Feminists or supporters of equality.
I highly admire strong, educated and competent men, but they seem few and far between. My boyfriend is one of those men and openly supports equality, respecting both men and women. Many men dislike the fact he treats me like an equal.
I don't think similarly to you, thank gawd. - I do, but I don't like arrogance, and people who like to tell everyone how strong they are are displaying arrogance and in my opinion, typically not nearly as strong as they really are. If they were, they wouldn't have to say it.
I don't know where the idea men don't want strong women came from. The majority of men have always wanted and praised strong women. - I see where you are coming from - The idea that this feminist thing is just another blame game. I do think that it can come off that way, however, there's no denying that there are still great inequalities between males and females and I think it is fair game to bring these inequalities to people's attention. Just like racism and heterosexism these issues need to be discussed & dealt with, not ignored and labelled as "deserved".
There's a really interesting book which you might be interested in though, it talks about these kinds of issues:
"Privilege, power, and difference" - By Allan G. Johnson - Have a look at your gender before you speak. Men claim to be so smart especially GS men but the same men blame all their problems on feminism, Obama, women and again women Lol.
And you sir sing feminism everywhere you post, so much for education Lol. - Then come out from behind the internet! I can't take your argument serious if you keep it limited to the internet, and too scared to take it to the street
