What is Feminism

Feminism is not real
Just a bunch of bittered grown women with bad characters who couldn't have their way around men and instead of looking into themselves and try to adjust, decided that men are the problem and are hell bent on misleading younger women .
Dont get me wrong ,men are not always right and they also have contributed to pains women face over the years but that doesnt men all men are bad or men generally are the problems of women .
Hating the opposite gender is not something to admire .
Mind you the beautiful world and infrastructure we all enjoy today were mostly built by men

The beautiful infrastructure was built by men because women weren't allowed to participate in the design and engineering of that infrastructure. When I was at school in 1981, the best technical draughtsperson in the class was a 15 year old girl, but she wasn't allowed to take exams in that subject and was relegated to studying cookery.

I don't think you know enough about this to comment intelligently.

@Richard65
I dont know the story so i couldnt be the judge of that but the fact remains that most of the life threatening engineering works are done by men . Alot of women will run from certain construction works even if the were offered on a platter . And theres the genetic superiority that put men at an adventage to certain professions . Not saying women dont contribute . But mostly are done by men

@TiffdaGift you're just digging a deeper hole of ignorance for yourself. It's embarrassing.

@Richard65 What? I left school in the south of England nearly ten years earlier, 1974, and girls were certainly allowed to take any subject that was on the curriculum. Nonetheless many chose not to study traditionally male subjects for all sorts of reasons. Mostly I suspect they did not feel comfortable being in the minority in a class of adolescent boys. But there was no formal reason why they shouldn't attend such classes.

@ninalanyon she listed it as a final year option but was told she couldn't do that as she was female. I spoke to her about it at the time and she was disappointed. It was a Catholic school, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it. Still, my point stands, in that women were originally barred from being engineers or enjoying the same freedoms men enjoyed, and then, later, dissuaded from pursuing that kind of career through misogyny. Women have been kept down for hundreds of years by stupid, bigoted men. Think how more advanced the human race would likely be had half of it not been denied the opportunities to contribute.

@Richard65 I certainly agree that women have been held back. I was just struck by the contrast between our two experiences in the same country. And how negative yours was even though it was much later.

@ninalanyon I was a good technical artist at school, but she was better. That's why I was so annoyed. It's the first time I really had experience of institutionalised misogyny. It was a shock.
