This would be why I am not a feminist. “When you’re young, you’re thinking: ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,’ ” Ms. Gloria Steinem stated thus an interview with the talk show host Bill Maher. This is a feminist icon? In effect she has just labelled all women as hormonal sex objects in their quest for males. I wonder just how far that is from say; “What she wearing, she was asking for it!” The problem is that with most good ideas, they become institutionalised that are turned into ideologies. Those ideologies become intolerant of anyone who does not follow the most bigoted of paths according to the likes of some unnamed but all powerful cabal of haters, utter their pearls of wisdom as if handed down from Mt Sinai, similar to what Steinem has said above. In an effort to distance themselves from each other, “Oh were not like that…” Feminist theory have sub divided the ideology of feminism into theories, many, up to 6 different so called “waves.” As if, this makes a difference. “OH no, that is a femnazi, she is only a lipstick lesbian…” Err say what? Those are two different categories of feminism. No, the problem with being a “Feminist” is this; just like all Muslims are expect to apologise for all attack by terrorists no matter who or where they are, as if they were all close friends with any terrorist who raised a gun  in the name of their prophet. All “Feminists” are merely considered the extension of worst offenders in their demand for ideological purity. This is the 21 century; does any rational human being disagree with the idea of equal pay for equal work? Note Donald J trump does. But I repeat, I did say any RATIONAL human being. Thereby the Donald does not qualify. Enraging your audience with a term, “Feminism” that no one understands, (including those who seemingly must divide it into waves in the first place,) but everyone gets leery of, defeats the purpose. The real reason I am not a feminist can be seen as originally stated by Simone de Beauvoir; paraphrased thusly: “The point is not change names, the point is to change things for the better.” Feminism is dead! Long live equality for all, men, women, LBGT. People of world can get behind that phrase a lot easier than they ever will to get behind hateful, utterance of a so call feminist icon like Gloria Steinem. Oliver Cromwell had this to say to her likes; “You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately… Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go! (Address to the Rump Parliament)” I say to you Gloria Steinman, “Go now, you have staid too long atop that throne of false lives and thin veneer of contempt for other women. You are no friend to females as you pretend to be. Depart, I say; and let us have done with you and your tired old hatred of men and women who yearn to breathe their own free air, of their own free will, who won’t follow along your ideological path to oblivion.” That is why I am not a feminist.
