Misconceptions about feminist movements ?

People generally have a false notion that the feminists aim to build a world where males are reduced to the status of animals and obedient house pets.
It's not true. Rather it is targeting a world full of harmony where women are treated fairly.

Modern feminism is absolutely not about “targeting a world full of harmony where women are treated fairly”.

Firstly, the world will never be harmonious (to have a world comprised entirely of harmony, would require all types of people to “get along”, which is not only implausible but impossible because of how human psychology works), and then there is the rather rudimentary fact that women are already treated “fairly”. In truth, women have many privileges that men do not.

@ahiyaa That's exactly my concern is. The bad feminists exists in places where there is no genuine problems to address. Because of that there is a misconception and the women who are in real need don't get their dues. Fight for equality should focus more on the women who are suffering and don't have any freedom rather that fighting for the rights to drink and smoke.

@BoldSam This is correct.

@ahiyaa Your assessment of modern feminism in the West is spot on.
[c=#359E00]we already treated fairly. We're not living in 500 BC or 200 BC where men saw us as an object[/c]

@YukikoAmagi In Asian countries women don't have a choice of who they are going to marry. Male children are treated differently that the female children.
@BoldSam [c=#359E00]your kind of thinking is exactly how modern western ideology think. By the way, i'm off now, leave me message if you still want to discuss[/c] 😁

@pixelmann Well said. I agree ..

@pixelmann agreed. eastern, and especially middle eastern feminism is legitimate; women fighting for even the most basic rights that western women take for granted.

western feminism is just absurd, and has little to do with actual equality; and is little more than a bunch of attention whores wanting their 15 minutes of fame.

@SW-User it will be unfortunate if media blows up the issue at their convinience. The real issue lies in backward and developing countries where women live as second class citizens.

@SW-User yes, indeed!
These is a disconnect between the definition and practice though. Especially in western countries. In the extreme it is now a hate group. That is why I drop the name and use egalitarian instead. Let the haters have the term feminist. It is too dirty to be cleaned.
@BoldSam US. We are a spoiled country:(

@canusernamebemyusername Good thing is that you are developed in many aspects. Now you just need to focus on simple things. I read feminists there are eagerly waiting for the first modern day female president.
@BoldSam Yeah. Sadly a lot of women just don't seem to like politics. And I can't blame them either. Lol So we don't really get many female candidates :(

Pretty mcuh. People lovely to ludicrously over-exaggerate feminist arguments because I think its more comfortable for them to maintain a status quo than to genuinely envision a better world.
BoldSam · 46-50, F
@CountScrofula That's a good point.
BoldSam · 46-50, F
@wildbill83 i understand your point and concern.
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
@BoldSam Women want equality in the military, yet expect it to lower the physical requirements for them, and flat out refuse to be included in Selective Service Act...
BoldSam · 46-50, F
@wildbill83 That's not what feminists advocate. Real feminists are wise women.

People love to complain about “modern feminism” because their world view is extremely limited. They don’t think about women who are denied their basic rights and don’t have a choice in their own lives, empowering such women is what feminism is about
BoldSam · 46-50, F
@SW-User I agree to your point. May be its a right idea for the feminists to gather again and discuss what's the problem they are actually addressing. The focus has lost its shape in many areas.

The radicals have ruined a once noble cause and tried to replace it with misandry. Which leaves a bad taste whenever I hear the word feminism now. It's a shame.
BoldSam · 46-50, F
@Ryannnnnn That's unfortunate..

🤔...I've always treated women equally and fairly...
BoldSam · 46-50, F
@Jimmy2016 You are a gentleman.

@wildbill83 Seems you have a huge collection galore of feminists matching your taste ;)
In pictures it looks like a simple solution and one that’s very contrary to what I'd expect.
