Best Answer (Chosen by Asker)I know I'll get about 50 or more Thumbs Down's for saying this, but when you break it down to the core, basic animalistic level, Feminism was founded by ugly women that society ignored because they weren't attractive enough. If your a woman, and not attractive 'at all', your then ignored, treated unfairly, and you become jealous of beautiful women. You also have tons of time to think about your situation as an unnattractive woman. You start seeing how without beauty, women don't go very far in society, at least 60 years ago. The anger starts to build, your start sharing your feelings with other women like you about things like how if the man cheats and leaves for a more beautiful woman, she's left with nothing and how unfair that is, next thing you know you have the beginnings of feminism. I say this because a very attractive girl would not be the first woman to need something like feminism in her life to give her more opportunities since she has tons of free bees just being a pretty lady. Only after the ugly ones with problems create the path to feminism do the pretty ones start being convinced by their words of oppression. Then begins the disscussion about ripping down what makes male and female who they are, which is an action based on trying to make the playing field equal. Meaning, if everyong looks and acts like the same gender, the ugly women don't have to compete with the pretty ones any more. Society won't see the pretty girls as more "woman" than the ugly ones. I know this isn't what those feminists were thinking, but I have a feeling they were drivin by this feeling subconsciously. Fast forward to today, now we have pretty and ugly feminists, but even still, there are more ugly feminists than pretty ones because the pretty still recieve more opportunities much easier. The pretty still like being "women" and like being "a pretty female", and they still like aspects of gender that gives them power as pretty women. I think this is the core reason why their are so many different views of feminism. Look at a very pretty and successful female feminist, then look at the ugly one who isn't as far in life, and there will bound to be vast differences in how they view feminism. EDIT: This final comment will surely get me epic thumbs downs, but again, I can't ignore what I notice in people: Think about it. Pretty girls like shaving and looking attractive. It's usually the ugly ones who fight the idea of shaving. The pretty ones are usually fine with having a boyrfriend since it's easy for them to get one. The ugly ones are usually the ones who tend to say "I don't need men", and are more likely to eve experiment sexually with other women, even if their not truly bi or lesbian. Pretty girls usually love wearing dresses. It's usually the ugly ones who are oppose to it, and all about wearing pants and simply shirts. Pretty girls usually enjoy their femininty. The ugly ones tend to see fenininity as a weakness, mostly because they are too masculine already to pull it off. And then it's the ugly ones who tend to hate words like "Masculine" and "Feminine" because they don't want to be seen as "Masculine." Basically the ugly ones are all about restrictions due to their own insecurities that they then push on men as the problems in their lives. As evil and wicked and painful as this all sounds, it actually makes a lot of sense. Not that men never oppressed women in some ways in the past, but the ugly factor does play it's part in this. And lastly, I'm not even talking trash about "ugly" women. What is "ugly" anyway? Thats all relative at a certain level. And the women who feel ugly, usually aren't really ugly, they just feel that way in the presence of rare women = to super models. Which is a shame. Nerdy ugly guys have the same problems. And I'm not Brad Pitt, just a average dude.
