are women losing their sense of feminity?

[jon1jt]

Of course, I am a stay-at-home mom, and what I will end up doing is cleaning toilets and picking the kids up at 2:45. but I might curse like a sailor, because I can...

funny you said that, my friend bought a Hummer recently and when i asked him why he bought a vehicle that gets only 12 miles to a gallon and is an environmental hazard, he answered half-jokingly, "because I can."

that's the highest expression of power. women must be truly free, see that?

I cannot help thinking that what men really want is Stepford wives:

well, can you tell me if there is such a woman out there that has the looks of a Stepford wife with a creative intellect (and not a slob)? that's asking for alot, no?

Women are losing their sense of femininity as much as men are losing their sense of masculinity.

I'd shoot myself if I lived in the stepford society. Wow...the scariest movie I ever saw!

Perhaps you need the definition:

mi·sog·y·ny - hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women.



This thread has it all.

Are women losing their sense of femininity?

women are becoming slobs, especially the ones between 18-35 but by no means limited to that age group. i've seen grandmothers behave like out of control children.


what i mean is, women have no class---they curse, yell, spit, smoke, drink beer, do shots until they babble, wear slutty clothes, and seem to go out of their way to be outrageous for attention. just consider Paris Hilton.


it's not just the outrageous behavior, it's rolls up to the level of female professionals who behave like barbarians in the workplace, taking on attitudes and behaviors that were once only assigned to the worst men. some women even pride themselves in having a reputation as a "*itch"


nor have i seen men make spectacles of themselves to the degree women do---not even in the tabloids. it's most often women.

there's a sense in all this that women no longer stand for that divine presence they once possessed. or in the way Chet Baker once sung about them. ahhh.

have you experienced a decline in womanhood?

I've just gotten to this thread. I don't know where it has gone either. I don't behave like a lady all of the time, but I like to think I have decent manners. I often wonder when it became alright to be rude and dress like you are on a street corner. My parents would have strangled me if I behaved like most girls do, and I have to admit I would do the same to my daughter. She's a baby so lucky for me I don't have to worry over it for a long time I'll read the rest of this thread when I find the time, because I'm sure the ensuing tumult you've created is funny. I'm laughing it up with Virgil

Feminity doesn't exist. It was imposed by a patriarchal society to make women inferior...

Misogyny is not something to laugh about.

you're wrong EAP that i'm a misogynist. i highly encourage you to read some of my posts where i take a stand against misogyny, particularly the Hip Hop thread.

i don't "hate, dislike, or mistrust" women. that's why i've been trying to frame the issues in the form of questions...ahem...with the exception of the OP. c'mon, misogynistic?

hey, this is a discussion with the intention and aim to locate the sources for the decline of femininity today.

Women are losing their sense of femininity as much as men are losing their sense of masculinity.

i think this is true, and i alluded to the cultural phenomena of male metrosexuals. lifestyles of men and women are changing, that's evident enough. so do you think that the decline of femininity is in some way tied to a more general change in the roles of gender? or are they separate?
