I, personally, find the concept nonsense.
Men and women both need help sometimes, and if a man shouldn't have help in a certain instance, than the woman can do it without help as well. ... within biological limits, of course. ^_^

This is not allowed...at least that's what the rules say about this blue DIR.
I think its nonsense as well. But it still managed to sneak its way into my head, lol.
Guess it helps that one of the shows I grew up on was Sailor Moon.
(And I legitimately enjoyed it, BTW, not because of the underage girls in short skirts.)As for if there should be a masculism DIR, I havent voted because I am undecided. Feminism has a rather specific reason to exist. It is about combating the patriarchal structure in society, which means fighting for womans rights. I am not exactly sure what the purpose for masculism is, tbh.
Lol, I did tooGuess it helps that one of the shows I grew up on was Sailor Moon.
. But I have this "filter" problem. Things sneaks into my head rather easily.Are you being serious?! So anyone can say anything about the Qur'an without fear of being confronted, what the hell is the point in that? But moving back to feminism, I identify with feminism in general, but there are specific problems I have with some of the groups who claim to be feminists. I have every right to use my own interpretation of what feminism ought to embody in the feminist DIR, am I wrong? After all, you did say that people can air their own interpretations of the Qur'an in the Islam DIR.
It could be a place to discuss feminism & matriarchy....without losing any blood in the process.
The same-faith debates area exists for members of a similar group to debate a topic.
The DIRs and other restricted areas are meant for discussion within the group but not intense debate.
There are some groups within feminism that have gone a bit... too far. In my country one famous feminist suggested a "male tax", to take one example. But they arent a representation of feminism as a whole, or as a concept. Feminism is about freeing woman from the patriarchal structure of society (which does exist, at least in my country) and to fight for their rights.
Matriarchy isnt even close to as problematic as the patriarchy, at least not in my country
. But it may exist, of course. I just havent seen it.I know that babe, but it depends on how you define being "within the group", I'm a feminist in my own sense, not in the sense of extreme radical pro-women pressure groups like the London Feminist Network.
Exactly! There's a campaign in Britain to free women from prisons, can you believe the audacity they have? And they call themselves feminists, all they are doing is smearing what used it to be good label to wear. Unfortunately, being a feminist in Britain means supporting these policies, that's why I never tell people I'm a feminist in real life, the first thing they think of would be the dominant extreme groups rather than the more quiet mainstream.
As I read the rules, green DIRs allow outsiders too.
If it exists, & the extent to which it exists would be up for discussion there.Matriarchy isnt even close to as problematic as the patriarchy, at least not in my country
Perhaps many might say it doesn't.
Yes, green is the least restrictive. The person must be posting within the spirit of the DIR, though. Then blue, where only respectful questions are allowed from people who do not identify as members of the DIR. Purple is the most restrictive in that people who do not identify as part of the area are not supposed to post at all.
You mean they want to make so women doesnt go to prison? Or that some, or all, women in prison at present time should be set free?
They want less and less women to be sent to prison every year, and also more women to be gradually released from prison so they can be "properly looked after" in other places like hospitals, therapy places etc. I was shocked when I saw a poster for this in London, I think it had words like "women suffering in prison" or something like that. Well what is prison meant to be for criminals? Neverland? Haha I'm never supporting that, and being excluded from the feminist DIR is a small price to pay in my opinion LOL
I dont think you would be excluded from the feminist DIR for that. After all, I disagree with the "male tax" and I still identify myself as a feminist.They want less and less women to be sent to prison every year, and also more women to be gradually released from prison so they can be "properly looked after" in other places like hospitals, therapy places etc. I was shocked when I saw a poster for this in London, I think it had words like "women suffering in prison" or something like that.

The point of the DIRs is to have discussions without fear of being confronted.
Confrontation of ideas is what the debate sections are for.
Yes. Do that in debate sections.
Show me.
Since I'm an aspie you can trust that whatever I say means nothing other than the words, and anything I say is exactly what they mean without any hidden, implicit meanings.
