Each human being is an individual that behaves in a particular manner. These behaviors have been classified under the science of psychology. There is nothing wrong with identifying specific behaviors in individuals. This is why we have words - adjectives that describe a noun. The generic human model posited by feminism is not realistic.

How else can we know difference in behavior? How can we distinguish promiscuity from healthy continence?

This tweet by Tyrese does strike a nerve. Women are equal to men in every aspect of the word; however, they are not identical. There are things women can do that men cannot and vice versa. Nevertheless, it is unfortunate that men get a free pass while women are quickly judged or labeled. A good example is a man who has multiple women is described as a "player" or "the man," while a woman who has multiple male partners is a "hoe" or "slut." There is obviously something wrong here. In reality, both are "sluts." Women should not fear the roles of motherhood and family. These are probably the most important roles/institutions in society. Before we know the world, we know mommy and our families. A mother has more power than the president, figuratively speaking. However, this does not mean that women should be defined strictly by these roles.

I am so glad you read Colonize This! It's a great anthology and while I do not necessarily agree with all the women in the book (as it should be) I enjoy reading stories about women from their own point of view. If you notice in media (movies, books, music) women's stories are often written by men. It's no wonder there's no real good representation of all types of women.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284570849680057769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089382408612849581.post-46692220213042340952012-10-27T10:31:52.442-04:002012-10-27T10:31:52.442-04:00Thank you for this post.

I never considered the other side of the independence-is-for-men gender-role, but it does explain the pressures I, as a man, have felt to be entirely self-sufficient, and how difficult I find it to ask for help (regardless of how badly its needed). Women are undoubtedly hurt more by this sentiment (being denied a career and pressured into financial dependence is far worse than being pressured into independence), but I never realized how this hurts men too.<br /><br />-Omar<br />(P.S. I read Colonize This!, which you recommended a while back. Thank you for introducing me to third-wave feminism!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
