Its un-natural in the sense that women should have to feel a need to fight for basic rights which they should have anyway, such as voting and some sort of voice in matters regarding the public. In that way yes it has become an uneccessary method, but the reasons were not unnatural. yes it has become extreme in some cases, but that shouldnt nulify the benefit that they have had on society. I know that once you start thinking as a feminist it is easy to get carried away.. but as with everything you should know your own limits, whats a halal right and what isnt? Offended...no..umm..more frustated sorry..well i am anyway..but I am just angry now anyway. Sorry... I should just be quiet now!
ermmm....racks brain several yrs back...................................
We had many arguments, he was a feminist and used to openly praise Americas 'liberations' of countries and he knew it irritated me so bad, he used to do it on purpose and smirk right at me whilst he was talking....arrggghh lol.
and was the only teacher i ever knew to apologise for raising his voice at me when the arguments became slightly heated, i think i used to annoy him just as equally
anywayyy, bak to feminism, he just agreed with radical feminists , ive never known any man to think so...??

^ that comment is just looking for a fight.
A righteous sister would spend money wisely and not go crazy, therefore she wouldn't have a 100 pairs of shoes would she? she wouldn't be so materialistic.

Hello, people. Just read that a few times. And go read how women suffered, read what rights they were denied and islam didn't exist there. You can't go saying "Oh if Islam had been there everything would have been good" in an ideal world of a Muslim, YES, there have been very good times yes, but it went downwards all the time. Women have been surpressed for centuries, even in Islamic countries, or current Islamic countries.
Now don't be ignorant, bad sides are everywhere, everyone knows that. But to say feminism is all bad, hasn't given anything good, is just... Ridicilous and ignorant. Yes, extreme/radical feminism is bad. But when a Muslim daugther fights for her right to say No to a marriage, but her Muslim parents refuse, YOU'd say "they don't know Islam well" and her parents would say "she's such a feminist". See? There are different sides, don't get so one-sided.
Read again my comment with the example with Islam. I think if you're sincere, you'd understand... But well, in the end. Everyone to their own opinion. I'm out.

Agreed, well said. Feminism, with all isms, have its positives and negatives. Also, since it stemmed in a non-muslim society - we shouldn't get our Islamscope on the issue.
Oh, my previous comment, was just to break the tension - I wasn't being serious, except for the shoes part! I know you hiding them!

As I see it, I am an Islamist first. If Islam gives a right, to either men or women, which the other sex tries to deny, I try to back what Islam claims.
But as I see it, feminists (atleast the rabid kind), finding that Islam does not suit their pre-conceived ideas about how things should be, are forced to either deny that these rules exist in Islam, or to reject Islam itself because it is an 'unfair' religion.
If Islam said that women have no right to say 'no' to any marriage arranged for them, or to vote, or any other right that we presently enjoy, I would support that position too, because who am I to judge what Allah, the Almighty orders. I do not follow this religion because its Sharia appeals to me, but because I believe in Allah and think that following his orders will save me from hell-fire and grant me Jannat.

^^ the word feminist is always used to describe the extreme ones though right?
we wouldnt call a woman who stands up for her rights a feminist, but those who think they should dress exactly as they want and men should control themselves, those who treat their husbands etc like dirt by saying things such as "IM NOT A SLAVE!!!" etc, i myself know many sisters affected by this feminist mentality. and it really is sad to see...
i know an extreme feminist at work aswell, on her door is written "women are far greater workers then men" lol

Women were emancipated in West long before feminists came out with their demands and marches. Women began to work thanks to industralization and urbanization, then after two world wars and millions of men' death , women simply had to go to factories or wherever else and start a work. Feminists dont want any equality, they want to change the cultural roles of men and woman, the vision of family which is all backwardness in their neo marxist thinking.
The positive thing is that nowadays in 2008 many people stopped taking them serious. Maybe its just my observation but they became some kind of folklore, remain of XX century, like "working class" or hippies.
This country is dying because of a lack of men, not a lack of programs.

Of course.

Well there you go. Some feminists, not all. And as I have said many times, I say I can understand some because they fought for their rights which the men came and said this and this is how it should be. Now where the heck do the men get their idea, why couldn't a woman? All I'm saying is, feminism is like an reaction to chauvinism. It wanted to gain rights men made seem as if they didn't deserve, to be able to vote, or work on some feild they'd want to 'cause "it didn't suit them'.
Then again, if feminists start talking how women are opressed in Islam, of course I am against their opinion. The issue here is, feminism wasn't all bad during the times it made life fairer to the women then.
If Islam said that women have no right to say 'no' to any marriage arranged for them, or to vote, or any other right that we presently enjoy, I would support that position too, because who am I to judge what Allah, the Almighty orders. I do not follow this religion because its Sharia appeals to me, but because I believe in Allah and think that following his orders will save me from hell-fire and grant me Jannat.
Allah is God and some say Allah and are Christians. To them Christianity is what saves them from Hell or grants them Paradaise, to them, the Christian "Shariah" is right and must be followed. I believe in Allah/God and follow Islam. There are many monothestic religions, believing in one God, now why did you choose Islam? Because it appeals to you and you have learned to believe in it.
That idea you gave again would go against much other that goes into Islam, it fairness and justice, that is why I find it absolutely not needed to forward an hypothesis 'if Islam said this, what would I do'. And there are difference of opinions in Fiqh-rules anyways. I won't bother to voice my opinion if I would follow Islam then or not, it's just unnecessary.

Hold on...is that point trying to say that men shouldn't be put into a situation were they need to practice control? That men shouldn't 'need' to control themselves?? Im hoping...really hoping Ive misinterpretted that statement above. i am not saying that woman sholdnt dress appropriately they should, but to make it seem as though a woman is saying something extreme when she expects a man to control himself....what?
:enough!:
