RE: The Lady Doth Protest Too Much

in #feminism8 years ago

This is a pretty powerful conversation. Perhaps to some men, women represent nothing more than a chance for legacy. I've toyed with the thought that men, while historically powerful, are jealous because while they're an ingredient in the formula of life, they do not carry and bring forth that life into existence. It's a domain exclusively for the woman, and in my time on earth it does seem that men want to be a part of, if not control, whatever possible.

Sort:  

But aren't we equal (?) omg im so confused

this steemit thing...

we're equal catalysts to get the process going, yes, but once the ball is rolling, the physical distribution of work shifts entirely to the woman. I mean, of course we're important and equal in the responsibility of ensuring the child makes it, but it isn't our physical bodies that are integral to the success of a pregnancy. Once the process begins, life is dependent on a woman's body.

It's a thought I've toyed with.

Have you toyed with the thought that maybe, just maybe, that's why women are different from men?

That is an interesting theory. I've heard a similar idea that claims it stems from internalized misandry. A thought provoking concept.
