What do you think? Is alimony sexist?
How about the "tradition" that the bride's family should pay for the wedding (since a woman is, supposedly, an inherent financial burden, and you're grateful for taking her off your hands. That was the reasoning behind the dowry tradition which was basically the same thing btw).
I hear a lot of feminists crying out for equality but I don't think I've ever heard them protesting against the ways in which the scales are tipped in their favor. |
There is a lot of ridiculous historical detritus on all parts.
And I've heard feminists arguing for actual equality, too, as opposed to only when it benefits them. Just like anyone else, there are people who want equality, people who want ahead, people who just joined in ...
Feminism is no worse than most (any?) other movement.
To the people who point out some of the excesses I can only say "there's always one", that applies to men, women, children, horses, mules, you-name-it.
