Feminism is a mental illness 🥴

@Zaxel It might well be an outdated term, you are arguably right there - it perhaps should be revised and renamed, humanism I think someone else suggested. But sadly there is still a need. And while you are entitled to disagree, and I am sure you will, feminism the true form and not the extremist sensationists who have entirely a different agenda, IS about equality of more fairness and providing a level playing field so that no one is held back.

@Adaydreambeliever whatever the "true" form of feminism is supposed to be, these types of arguments ignore whatever is being done in the name of "feminism". its like when people say a true "muslim" or a true "christian" doesnt do this, but ignores x, y , z things that people have done in the name of religion.

@bijouxbroussard totally not.

@bijouxbroussard What rights and opportunities though?

@TurtlePink Are you serious ? Before feminism, you could only work at certain jobs, even if you could do the job you wanted. Sometimes they’d give you a different title so you weren’t paid as much as a man doing the same work and taking the same risks.
In some states you couldn’t own property without a co-signer (father, brother, husband). There were fewer opportunities for advancement. I had a boss tell me in 1982 that he was promoting a man (who had fewer credentials) over me because [b]he[/b] “needed the money” to support a wife and kids whereas I was just a “pretty girl” who would probably “quit and get married”. Employers can’t [b]assume[/b] that based upon gender anymore.
Incidentally, I stayed with company for 33 years, and eventually was promoted, a few times.
Not to mention that the whole world isn’t the West and there are feminists in other countries that are dealing with serious issues like girls still having to fight for a basic education, or being punished for being [b]victims[/b] of sexual assault. You [b]know[/b] this to be true.

@Northwest Isn't she the one who managed to make a business of it? People pay her for an audience with Ramtha or something like that?

@SW-User that explains alot

@SW-User Yes, JZ Knight, she had an in-residence program, where celebs would pay to live at her compound. Shirley MacLaine, Linda Evans, etc. Ramtha was actually 35,000 years olds, and only JZ Knight can summon her (or him?).

In any case, she accepted payments in gold. Ironically, she ended up marrying a much younger guy, who one day, disappeared with all the gold. More astonishing, is that she still has disciples, and for a while, she even had retail stores, selling 5 and 6 figure antiques, touched by Ramtha.

@Piper One of the irritating things about the internet is it is very easy to find some 18 year old saying something stupid and then use this as an example of the wrongness of an entire political movement. Rather than just... a kid being dumb.

@CountScrofula That is sadly true.

@leeloh Because everyone is still not [b]equal[/b] internationally. Feminism is still relevant in parts of the world where women [b]don’t[/b] have basic human rights.

@bijouxbroussard this is what I'm saying. If people were sane, there would not be need of feminism

@leeloh Agreed.

@SW-User There was something dumber than this?

@Northwest LOL. You have become very familiar with the "new" user who has popped up lately posting the dumbest shit I've ever read. He is heavy with the delete button on his posts. 😉

@SW-User Oh, that guy. Yeah, he deleted everything I posted :-)

@SStarfish exactly

@quitwhendone And wouldn’t gay fathers have the right to celebrate Father’s Day ? She’s “concerned” about same sex couples, but didn’t think [b]that[/b] through.

@bijouxbroussard Exactly.

@Benjr134 lol, to be fair, when someone posts dumb shit, that's what happens. 😂

@Benjr134 Hopefully, that might clue her in to the fact that she’s [b]wrong[/b]. 😏
