Lately the controversy about the relationships between men and women has come to a new apex. The MeToo- movement has become crazy to the extend that the words "sexual harassment" and "rape" have become meaningless by the fact that these labels now get attached to behaviors which definitely have nothing or very little to do with the original meaning of these words.
The tendency of radical feminists to use the stories of real people and their suffering to make a lot of noise and use it for their own political purposes is really appalling and, at the long run, is totally contra-productive to the cause - and certainly to healthy relationships between the sexes.
If you need written agreement to every step in a relationship you do nothing but repress any healthy relationship from growing and you promote separation, aloneness and depression as humans need to live inside close relationships. We need to be free to address people freely as long as we don't use violence. And we have enough legal protection against criminal behavior, we don't need general "protection" from male aggressiveness as is claimed and practiced by radical feminists.
What is Feminism for?
What FEMINISM is that which disempowers women and declares them VICTIMS again? Wasn't feminism intended to liberate women from their "suppression" and empower them to take a stand for themselves? Now they require continuous protection which would be adequate for children but not for adult women. True feminism would EMPOWER women and help them to get out of victimism by teaching them to take responsibility for THEMSELVES instead of others as they did for centuries.
I am on the side of Catherine Deneuve who came out lately to speak against the exaggeration and fake information following the outbreak of "MeToo". Read her letter HERE. I fully agree with what she says on the basis of my Feminine Power training. True feminine power does not denigrate and blame men, let alone need protection against the "bad men". True feminine power is navigating the unknown in full responsibility for her own decisions.
