yeah opposing "feminism" is stupid because its meaning is so broad. i dont suppose most people here disagree with "gender equality" and that is an often cited definition of feminism, what gives any one definition of feminism priority over the other? why does feminism mean man-hate/supremacy to some people?
there is no "real feminism". just people doing stuff and organizing under the flag of feminism
I don't understand what the emphasis on "meaning" is. It's the actions and the reactions of those actions I oppose.
I'm not understanding where you're coming from here. You're saying that every single person out there who is for women having equal rights is secretly calling out for female superiority? Explain your logic mister
Think about it. If women are already guaranteed equal protection under the law, yet you keep pushing, you push it over the line of equality. What is it called when it is past equality?
i'm not sure i understand what you're saying here. are you meaning to say that an idea's core content can be evaluated based on the actions of those who have supposedly corrupted that content? for instance, if i were to come to the conclusion that the big bang theory is inherently flawed because of misinformation presented by a science teacher? or that the republican platform has no basis because a public official has aggressive political tactics?
Not at all. I'm saying that its core content is exhibited by its actions. Always. If not, then the movement is self-contradictory.
Woah WOAH there, slow down. Modern feminism is still equality, just with a couple outliers. Sure, there are people who want all men dead, but that still doesn't change the argument. Sure, perscriptivism still exists, but everything has it's unique attributes and connotations, still staying to the same definition with quirks here and there.
And yes, feminism is still needed. Do I consider myself a feminist? No. Do I agree with all of their ideals? No. But the fact of the matter is that women still face several problems, such as abortion rights, and in other countries, general rights in the first place. In fact, when we spread to the whole world and say "the world doesn't need feminism", this is radically incorrect. Sure, you might say "oh women can still live though", but women are not useless, and many countries still treat them this way.
You need to look at this argument in a bigger picture, instead of just crying over how "wah wah wah this one girl got a cookie and I didn't".
I have never said nor heard it said that feminism is not needed in the world. I advocate for a womens' suffrage movement in areas of the world where it is needed. America and the first world are simply not those parts. Inequality is not the same as problems unique to women. Even if it was, that would also have to include the problems exclusive to men, which you can rarely get a feminist to do so much as acknowledge. Either way it's forgeted.
