Are you against feminism, why?

@Burnley123 That's also an easy stereotype, though. Plenty of people embrace anti-feminism even though they are getting laid, for a number of reasons.

The incel types are a whole separate brand of special.

@QuixoticSoul Well yeah, there are a lot of reasons why people are anti-feminist but I mean come on, there is a reason why it's so much bigger and angrier in online politics than IRL.

@SW-User Yes, but due to that some take it too far, that doesnt make what they do feminism

@attaboy I agree it isn't. Which is why its misconstrued. True feminism isn't about hating men..its about loving yourself and allowing no limitations to be put on yourself due to your gender. Im a humanist. Gender means nothing to me...all people not just one gender.

@bijouxbroussard Thats still what it is, just that some people, extremists, claims it to be something else

@starrybunny [quote]if a statistic points that there are more women than men in a workfield, they will consider it a 'triumph of women'[/quote]It depends on the context. Quite often, feminists are uncomfortable with that sort of inequality because it demonstrates that something has become "women's work". Few are triumphant with the fact that women dominate nursing, for example.

@starrybunny You keep using the word "feminists" and I don't think you understand what it means. As @attaboy has tried to explain, are their women who claim to be feminists and hate men? Of course, but that doesn't mean they are the majority opinion of the movement.

Every group or movement has its outliers, and you show your ignorance but making fun of someone trying to point that out. "Cackle" away if you like, it doesn't make you look intelligent or even remotely correct.

@PUBGGuy Lmao come on dude.

@QuixoticSoul what?

@PUBGGuy There are just multiple layers of naiveté at work here.

You are not an island, and do not control everything that happens in your life. Your children are not going to be superhumans, and both luck and their environment will play a huge role in how things turn out for them as well - as for all of us.

I suspect (or hope) that when/if you have daughters, you'll take a closer look at how society impacts their lives.

@SW-User I feel the same way, but me and the ones in my surrounding say we are feminists. We are just very clear with saying that we are not like the extremists and all we want is equality. Not hate, not for any gender

@attaboy Thats admirable, maybe rebranding may be an idea, certainly most associate feminism with radical extremist ideas, its unfortunate. There are few women making the distinction. When Germaine Greer (possibly the most renound and respected femenist in modern times) commented on the #metoo movement she was generally ignored. Interesting indeed on what is driving this current discontent.

@SW-User Yes, I totally agree

@MalteseFalconPunch A lot of people in general

@attaboy I really don’t want to associate myself with it. Too many crazies.

@getmeouttahere Yeah, but I think that its wrong. That such an originally well intended movement, due to some extremists have ruined the name and people shy away from a movement, people who define by a movement that wants people to grow up feeling safe and knowing they have the same tools to have a life where they are being respected and have secure enviroment

@attaboy that’s 2018 for ya! Hahaha

@RaemaSnr Yes, but the extremists shouldnt define the whole movement when they are the minority

@attaboy sadly thats the way it is

But i agree with u

@sighmeupforthat Yep, just because you support the solution of a problem doesnt make you forget about other problems. Just bcuz ur for womens rights doesnt mean you are a man hater

@Fernie LOL nice way to say I’m right. Have a good life.

@AnonymousJSS You aren't, though. You don't know your history and I can understand why it's frustrating to have to explain it.

@bijouxbroussard I never said it was unnecessary. And I never said my opinions on the subject. I do however believe the statements made that I replied to are more damaging to equality than good
