Feminism cares about women alone. That's not hating men, just ignoring their issues and needs and when they are discriminated against. If this continues it will be so unbalanced that we will probably find masculism movements popping up where men have to desperately defend their rights because they have been eroding away and gone ignored for so long.
I would prefer that we would defend the rights of all humans, not just women. That's also why I'm an egalitarian.
You may want equality and this may be your idea of feminism but many people out there have a much different idea of "feminism." You can't deny that there are those out there who are bitter at men so they attack men under the guise of "feminism." Just the same way there are forever alone bitter males out there that attack women.
You obviously do not know what feminism and the history of feminism is about! its socialism! You know socialism? Like what the Nazi's did? Yes, it is a political agenda to brainwash the masses to act a certain way! Its indoctrination. Look at what feminism has done today! Women don't have roles as women any more! Most men cannot even approach women out of fear that what they say will be considered harassment! Do you want to know what feminism really is? Just take a glance at this picture and see the truth for what it is! kathyescobar.com/.../equality-vs-justice.jpg

Oh yeah, and another point, your rights are inalienable! They come from God and are not determined by man! Nobody can take your rights away from you. You only lose rights by handing them over. You want equal pay to a man? Get a job that offers you the same amount of pay! It is that simple! Stop concerning yourself with a socialist agenda to turn this world upside down! No matter what they preach, as we have seen with the Nazi regime, its all lies! All of it!
sure, everything should be equal across the board. but it sucks for both sides when women are given easier tasks because you're treated weaker. I took a test for a job and women had to do about 15-20% less physical work to get the job for the same pay. (that could be dangerous on the field if they can't do as well as men). stuff like that throws off the equality
Because there are physical traits that nothing can change... Mans' muscular system is more advanced, than a womans'... A woman can still do physical work, but it wouldn't be quite possible for her to be able to lift the same amount of weight most men can.. Unless she was a body-builder of somesort... And not even then
Which is completely understandable but goes directly against equal pay equal work and that ends up hurting feminists and could actually endanger lives in that kind of scenario. it doesn't do any favors for women to baby you
@jannette723 Why would it make you laugh out loud? It's true that many feminists say and do things in contrast to what is scientifically valid and you associate yourself with that group. So in my book you have two options, either you distinguish yourself from those that are radical or you will probably be clumped up alongside them.
Well you're right in that feminism isn't about female supramacy with an agenda to wipe men off the face of the earth. From what I've seen, feminists are men IDOLIZERS. They see males, male roles, and appearances as the epitome of everything they strive to be. From no shaving of their pits and legs, to the boardroom to the bedroom. This is why they look down on women and female roles like mothering and home making.
If you want to raise your voice believe in egalitarian not femenism.

Thing is with Feminism, it makes women feel great, but (most) men like utter shite. Equality? euh, my fucking dead aunt.
If it was truly about women and men working together for a better society, then not so many men would be against it. It's Egalitarianism, or it's nothing.
A feminist is a person who believes in the social, political and economical equality of the sexes. People who assume we hate men can stick their opinions where the sun doesn't shine because they're talking out of their backside.
No, the movement was created to elevate women. That's why it's called feminism. It has grown to mean something more according to feminists though however.
It used to be just for women but now it caters everyone. I also find it hilarious how it's mainly men who have disliked my opinion. Clearly they don't want gender equality. They have it all anyway.
On the surface they do, but studies have shown that when all factors (education level, academic success, experience, work week, marriage status, etc.) are controlled, women make about 98-99.4% as much as men, and those last 2-0.6% really aren't statistically significant.
I'll keep it simple, why can't women be women and men be men? Why would you use a quote from a clueless celebrity such as Emma Watson, at least quote a credible source.
Emma Watson is not 'smoking hot', she's overrated in terms of looks. Also her voice is rather croaky and hoarse - and this is coming from a fellow Brit.
Her work on equal rights is good and a real step forward in society, but I just find that she is the wrong person to martial the change.

Actually, what you stand for isn't what feminism is anymore. www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a8277-what-i-learned-as-a-feminist-an-mra-part-1

People like you are what's wrong with the world today and why divorce rates are so high.
Your comment literally made me laugh out loud.

This pretty much sums up my views..

Who cares about Emma Watson?
I support 'women empowerment' not feminism.

This is also feminism.

I didn't even read that crap.
Feminism is all about hating men.
Don't deny it.
lmao
No offense but this all sounds like hypocrisy at its best
Feminism achieved its goals years ago--so the fact that it is still around means something else is going on.
Yeah, I don't think so. Men still get paid more than women
On the surface they do, but studies have shown that when all factors (education level, academic success, experience, work week, marriage status, etc.) are controlled, women make about 98-99.4% as much as men, and those last 2-0.6% really aren't statistically significant.
^ That's a good point actually, Opinion Owner.
Why, thank you kind sir! *tips hat*
Every time you hear someone say the wage gap is real... send them these links.

There are hundreds more... Wage gap is a skewed misinformed lie and needs to stop. You can't work on real issues if you keep making up fake ones.
I feel like this is soon going to be treated as a religion, people for this idea and people against it in a all out war on the Internet
I am feminist and I 100% agree with this. I don't hate men, it's all just about being equal with men, not above them.
Feminism is the advancement of womens' rights.
Nothing more, nothing less. Pretending it's anything else is disingenuous.
I'll keep it simple, why can't women be women and men be men? Why would you use a quote from a clueless celebrity such as Emma Watson, at least quote a credible source.
Oh but she has a degree! She's doing her best to make her way in a man's world! That she's smoking hot is irrelevant, right? :p
Emma Watson is not 'smoking hot', she's overrated in terms of looks. Also her voice is rather croaky and hoarse - and this is coming from a fellow Brit.

For some perhaps, for many no, it is much more like what you say it is not.
