WIELORYB AND FEMINISM?

The Polish word for whale WIELORYB is a misnomer, because it incorrectly suggests the whale is a big fish, when in fact it is a mammal. Similarly, FEMINISM de-emphasises such traditionally feminine features as gentleness, caring, selflessness, thoughtfulness, patience, devotion and a strong sense of responsibility, and instead attempts to make women over in the he image and likeness of males. The so-called feminists try to portray the image of tough, two-fisted, hard-drinking, foul-mouthed individuals, highly reminiscent of the egoistic, self-assertive male concerned mainly with his own self-fulfilment, self-enrichment and self- aggrandisement. So rather than persisting in this bit of linguistic folly, they should rename themselves MASCULINISTS in keeping with the macho-style image they are trying so hard to convey.

I don't understand. Are you critiquing the English word "Feminism" or the Polish word for Feminism? Furthuremore, why are you so sure that Feminism de-emphasises femininity? There's nothing that says a Feminist can't be "traditionally" feminine.

No it doesnt....it just means they dont have to rely on 1970s meatheads in this world.....

I'm no expert, but from my understanding, feminism is less about being LIKE a man and more about being treated with the same respect AS a man. I've never understood feminism to mean being less of a woman, just treated better.

I am no expert either but Feminism is about empowering women. The picture you portray was propagated in the 70's. Times have moved on a bit.

The whale is a cetacean.

Polonius3, why don't you acquaint yourself with the subject you're writing about?

why would he. It is better to come accross as misinformed. It is cute.

I think Polonius3 is a PF whale.
