"Change from the needle of male approval on the man face" - ok? Sad story about a russian feminism.

in #life5 years ago (edited)

The feminist slogan of the company Reebok in Russia put a lot of noise. One of the company's advertising banners told that you need to get up from a man’s approval and sit on a man’s face. Well, you understand what I mean.
There is still a lot of absurdity ahead of us, but not yet about that.
This slogan reminds me of spitting in the face. I am interested in feminism, but as a strong and adequate impulse. But not in the form of an insult.

The first thing that puts pressure on all this is that men are compared to things. Women often go for it. This helps them to merge with a partner together and begin to control it.
Worst of all, these slogans are for women themselves, especially for young girls. This prevents girls from forming personal boundaries.

I do not really want to slander about this sad slogan, so I am writing seriously. Most women do not understand that it is impossible to sit on top of a man. They believe that you can, if you want.

Sit down (as well as take) can only be in relation to the subject.
The only adequate analogue of the famous slogan: "Change from the needle of male approval to the bike."
Here you can transfer to the bike. On any vehicle. I paid for this tool and sat on it.

Sit on the face of an arbitrarily chosen man by the simple act of his "want" is impossible. It is not bad here that men are not respected. The bad thing is that suggesting to girls that their mere desire is enough to take advantage of a man. Pseudo-feminists are doing a disservice to women — instead of learning to see the men of the subjects of the will, girls learn to think that men are their humble continuation.

We already see how strongly women connect their borders with men. It is from this all the problems of such women. They assign men, they believe that they can manage men and own their finances, so they do not develop their resources and as a result are left without anything.

The subject can be used if there is enough money to buy it, but a person can not. You can enjoy the benefits that people give, only as long as he wants to do it. You can not rely on these benefits, you must rely on yourself. It is possible to influence the attraction of a man, but only with respect for him, recognition of his objectivity and his subjectivity too. Otherwise, no, only their own need will grow.

Knowing your worth is not to try to sit on a man's face, it is to get off the needle of approval and stand on your own feet.

We must stand up.
A person will not fit into any framework, if his personal boundaries are absent.

Very weird ad.

this part is so true :

"only with respect for him, recognition of his objectivity and his subjectivity too."

Honestly, man would easily walk out of relationships for many reasons but disrespect and no recognition are an igniter to leave a relationship faster.

To me feminism can be a beautiful movement an idea but some feminist are making a disservice to women in general.

Thanks for your comment.
I'm glad you think so too.
I do not consider myself to be a feminist, and I consider it a rather complex topic, because in many respects feminism is based on subjective perception. However, I have never been against it, on the contrary, I have always considered this a bright idea. But when I look at what is happening around, at all these slogans, actions and performances that are full of vulgarity and absurdity, I don’t want to support just such feminism, because it dishonors women and deprives them of the most important thing - that’s what they fight.

Yeah and also, some feminist don't fight for equality, they fight for oppressing men which is crazy, all oppression is wrong.

There are other that in the process lose their femininity, its so sad, women are beautiful.

Absolutely agree with you!

I had wondered if I should comment on this post, because I'm a dude and what do I know about being a woman? I see a couple of things going on that I will comment on and I mean no disrespect. I believe anyone should be able to say whatever they want in whatever context they choose. I also feel that there is responsibility behind the things you say because words are things that can be used to hurt or help others. On the other hand, it can be a choice to take in what is being said or not. If what is said has a sexual connotation to it and it makes you uncomfortable, them perhaps the issue is with you and how you feel about sexuality. Personally I see women as equal, each one of us having something unique to share. I'm also acutely aware of my privilege as a man in this patriarchal society and make choices everyday to be based on inclusion and equality (I grew up with 3 sisters and I knew who was ultimately in charge). As far as the poster is concerned (and if I understand it correctly)I say more power to you if it resonates with you. On a side note, it (the ad) kind of feels like what a man thinks a strong powerful woman should be like, i.e., the ad slogan was created by men. It feels cheap and ultimately limiting to think that the only thing that can be distilled from a strong, independent, self-sufficient person is an act of sex. The strong awesome women in my life are rich with wisdom, kindness, creativity, beauty, among many other uplifting and supportive qualities.

The fact of the matter is that I tried with all my might to approach this as objectively as possible.
I have always considered women strong and worthy of the best. Not less than this I attributed to men. In general, I prefer not to separate men and women, even though in society even today men have more responsibility. Why? Because we are all people. We are beautiful, we are individual and full of our strong qualities and merits, which should NOT be based on gender.
I am just sad to see that there is this comparison, this endless race and emphasis on gender. I am sad because this accent becomes derogatory, through exaltation and humiliation, which in itself is terrible.
I am sad because this exaltation and humiliation is served through sex - that is, it plays on the most scandalous and one of the sought-after topics in the advertising of this world.
I do not leave the feeling that this "struggle" is just an advertising move, a means of shocking. And thanks to such companies this struggle, this feminism turns into a vulgar farce.
I have nothing against feminism. BUT. Active participants in this movement always say that they are strong and self-sufficient. If so, what's the point of proving it, especially in this way? Strength and self-sufficiency does not leave you on the path of war with this world, with men. She gives you the opportunity to stand firmly on your feet and know that you are beautiful without all these loud slogans.
I do not think that I have a problem or I have a wrong understanding of sexuality.

Agree wholeheartedly!
