Feminism: How far is too far?

Almost 100 years ago history was made when women received voting rights. Ever since that, life for women continued to evolve. There is a fine line separating males and females in the 21st century and there are questions that remain. The lead idea being, how much further can this movement continue until women will be satisfied with their role in society?

As prideful women continue to parade their beliefs all over social-media, it is hard to ignore the fact that their words may be taken as discouragement towards men, rather than a movement for fairness.

Equality has become a bigger deal than ever with two sexes asking for the same treatment while they stand on completely opposite sides of the spectrum.

“Men and women are different. They are equal, but different physically, mentally, and emotionally,” corporate owner Michael Iwan says. “Their differences don’t make them any less important. They just make them different.”

Iwan shares his ideas that women deserve the same opportunities and are given just that, but there are natural characteristics that females were created with, and cannot control, that divides the abilities of men that women unfortunately do not possess.

The argument that feminists chase is that though society claims they supply equal opportunities for opposite sexes, in reality women are perceived differently.

People have been speaking out about this topic in the general public and the argument against feminism and how the actions women take for it, as they think too rationally and over analyze every single motive that men have.

On the social media site Twitter, individuals have been sharing their thoughts on the matter. Radio host Ben Ferguson specifically made a valid point tweeting, “The irony of #feminism is the pain and loss they will suffer as some boys and men falter and fail, & the rest rage against them #feminismiscancer.”

Ferguson speaks on behalf of all males that feel targeted by extreme feminists.

Iwan couldn’t agree more saying, “I think sometimes it’s taken too far when women go beyond kindness and look at it as an insult, for example when men hold a door open, let them sit down first, or hold their coat.”

Becca Koskiewicz, GHS junior, shares her opinion saying, “I think that sometimes feminists give people that don’t know much about feminism the wrong idea about it. When you think of a feminist you think of some like crazy girl who doesn’t shave her armpits.” She adds, “I’ve seen people who are like, ‘men are just terrible.’ And that’s not the mind set you want to have. Men are raised to think different than women. They can’t help how they were raised.”

Coming as far as they have, it’s hard to believe women could ask for anything more, but they continue to strive. Some even aim to the be their family’s breadwinner.

Bill Koskiewicz, GHS graduate, objects. He admits, “I would be uncomfortable if my wife made more money than me. I would never want to be a stay at home dad.”

Becca Koskiewicz adds to his insight saying, “Men feel like they should be stronger in that kind of stuff. It does matter to a lot of guys. They want to be the stronger one.”

Women objectify against these opinions that males possess, so some decide to shun them for the desire to support their family and treat men as if they want to rule the world with anarchy.

Becca Koskiewicz shares, “In general the theory of it is a good theory, but I think that people definitely take it too far. Also in terms of how much money men and women make, that should be equal, but men and women are different in some ways and people need to accept that it’s okay to have men and women different.” She continues, “It frustrates me and it feels like women think they are being targeted by men and that they feel like they need to attack men.”
