Recently I have been drawn to a recent topic known as the Gender Wars. I have blogged on it because I would like to see more men and women working together rather than against each other.
I just wanted to pick other people's brains here because I am coming up against a bit of a brick wall, I question if I just add to the problem if I begin blogging on the unfairness of life against men/women, the oppression of genders like almost ALL other blogs in this topic tend to do.
Then I even question if there is a problem, IS there a Gender War as it is been suggested or is this really about people wallowing around in their own personal frustrations making the personal into political? We have the Men's Rights Movement on the one hand, then the Feminists on the other, both movements can sometimes seem so relevant, but there are so many confusions and distortions of truth on both sides. I just want to find the viewpoint that is true, and works well for others...I am not sure I can find it?
I think there are problems, I would like to inject a new rationale to raise the bar of these discussions a little. I think it will do much for young people such as myself to have an alternative to anger directed at one gender or another. But I have to be careful, I don't want to add more fuel to the fire... if you know what I mean?
Does anyone else have any viewpoints on this? Has anyone else picked up on this topic? Or am I just going insane?
