Feminism: Real vs Corrupted.

[g_a_r_b_i_t_a]

Real: Strives to be equal with all genders (men, women, others).

Corrupted: Seeks superiority.

Real: Doesn't force you to leave your seat.

Corrupted: Manipulates you to leave your seat because she is a woman.

Real: Respects your strengths and weaknesses.

Corrupted: Uses your weaknesses against you.

Real: Complains only when truly being harrassed.

Corrupted: Makes up stories.

Real: Acknowledges and respects the real you.

Corrupted: Tries to manipulate you to be someone you are not.

Real: Acknowledges your choices.

Corrupted: Shames you for making a choice that doesn't align with them.

In other words corrupted feminism is misandry, that is, the opposite of misogynist. Everyone is important. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses and thus when we are united, we are stronger than ever. There are people who realise their mistake and change. I have seen the transformation of feminazis to feminism and it was beautiful. I have seen misogynists embracing healthy mentality. There is always room for change and improvement. If I have missed something please add them in the comments.

Very well written, and I agree with almost all of it. The problem though is that the corrupted feminism has become the real feminism, but the vast majority of feminists are unwilling to acknowledge that, and unwilling to do anything to right the ship, so the ship continues taking on water and will inevitable sink, as it should.

Feminism is an inherently gynocentric movement that will never represent equality. There was a time when that was acceptable, but that time has passed. Feminism must die before it does anymore damage to society and gender relations.

real feminism is corrupted. to truly want equality is to be an egalitarian. even the word feminism has "feminine" in it meaning "women" but these days this is what feminism in the modern world gets you

guess who won Miss America recently?

trying equalize everything ridiculous. unless you're a twin, triplet or a clone, there are no equals in this world. some people are simply more valuable than others. not even men are equal to other men. equality of outcome has caused more problems than solutions in society

a broke homeless guy is not equal to Elon Musk. the last man on the Lakers bench is not equal to LeBron James. Joseph Merrick the Elephant Man is not equal to Jeremy Meeks the hot felon. and the same thing applies to women too. Rebel Wilson is never going to land the same movie roles as Margot Robbie

if there was a difference between real feminism and corrupted feminism, society sure loves to enjoy the corrupted version.

these days equality in "real" feminism is just pick and choose when the equality is appropriate and when it isn't. it sounds great on paper to be seen as "equal" to a man who is taller, stronger, faster than you but when an intruder breaks into the house guess who has to confront the intruder?

until people push their feelings and emotions to the side and look at things from a logical and rational perspective, then we can have an honest conversation on this but nobody can do it without resorting to insults, projection, slander, ad-hominins etc.

[g_a_r_b_i_t_a]

Equality means opportunities. Something that both sexes can do. Think about being an artist, professor, doctor, etc. This is something you can you irrespective of the gender, provided you have relevant skills. I am an artist, my male friend is an artist too. Different genre of art but he is more versatile than me. That makes him overall better than me. But since art is subjective. Let's talk objectives. One surgeon is definitely better than the other. Now if we think about physiologically... nope. Men can lift a lot of weight, women can endure a lot of pain. Each to their own. I don't know about the west but some countries really need feminism.

we do have equality of opportunities yet we're unhappy with the outcomes so we're pushing for equality of outcome but only in certain fields. society may want more women in safe office jobs and leadership roles but none are pushing for it in dangerous jobs. majority of athletes in the NBA and NFL are black but we're not pushing for more whites, Asians and latinos to join.

[g_a_r_b_i_t_a]

Where do you live? We have women joining the army and navy. There are also female labours who take heavy load on their head and shoulders to earn for the family. I meant that literally.

[inhua]

the military has support roles not just combat roles. 97% of all combat related deaths are still men. women aren't being pushed into the frontline. there's no such thing as a "cowardly" woman in society apparently, only "cowardly" men

[davado88]

youve made a lot of good points inhua but would they hold up against a chick with unarmed combat skills who backflipped into your lounge room. Took out 3 opponents then waltzed into the best restaurant in town with the man about town on her arm?

she's got it all, buddy and every woman wants to be her.
so... yeh

I think feminism is just going through the motions of what other groups go through, especially as they grow larger in terms of numbers or reputation. Note when I refer to corruption, I refer to how the group's value change for the worse overtime and how it hurts the group's credibility, I'm neither for or against feminism at any stage.

Like you said, it becomes corrupted, an inevitability because there will be individuals that co-opt the movement for their own benefit because it provides them some form of power. In order to hold that power, these people will use that group's message and warp it to their needs.

This isn't a shot at feminism, this is just how groups go as time goes on and their growth continues.

Feminism is inherently corrupt and gynocentric. It would be seen as a "hate" movement if their assertions or rhetoric was reversed in any way. Traditional masculinity has been seen as desirable and "empowering" in females, but as "toxic' in males. What does that tell you?
The WORST thing for a woman is to be "submissive", "loving", and "feminine" in today's feminist (or post-feminist) world. Look at the results.
It is time to re-embrace patriarchy. See what happens...

[g_a_r_b_i_t_a]

No it isn't. Patriarchy also says men don't cry but crying is human instinct. I agree with what you said. It was supposed to be embrace yourself not remodel yourself. There are women who are truly dominant and there are women who are submissive yet pretend to be dominant. That's bad.

[strateguy632]

ugh, the advertising method by association, is not only misused by both sides, calling each other the "n word" , but referencing it, to anything less than mass murder, diminishes the unique horrors that nazis did. death and torture etc.

[Sleeper07]

Feminism has always been rooted in misandry. The pioneer for their main belief that women can somehow be equivalent to men has a common core of getting revenge against men who have troubled them in their lives.

That being said women and men can never be equal, will never be equal, and legally have the same rights. It's unethical and wrong to push equality like a fascist dictator communist.

In other words, feminism is no longer needed. I'm honestly so exhausted with feminism and all the related drama. Can we please just let it go and let the healing begin?

[g_a_r_b_i_t_a]

It depends on the geographical area. If you know what I mean

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, that's true. There are places in the world where females are still oppressed. But in the US where I live that has not been the case for a long time, yet feminism still exists and has become very toxic and counterproductive.

[g_a_r_b_i_t_a]

I wouldn't call that feminism

[Opinion Owner]

Yu can't just pretend the bad parts of feminist don't exist. They do, and they are modern feminism.

[g_a_r_b_i_t_a]

It has deviated from it's path. Corrupted.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, but it's still feminism.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

this is complete horseshit!

all you feminists are the same no matter how you all want to flip or pretend you all have morals somehow. dont forget that you are part of a MOVEMENT which means you all represent each other

[Petr87]

"Strives to be equal with all genders", you wrote, when you should have said, "Strives to be equal with the opposite gender", since there are only two.

[g_a_r_b_i_t_a]

Sex. The term is sex, in that matter.

[Archferret]

Corrupted feminism is misandry, the opposite of misogynist

Feminism must strive for true equality

[Robbey]

I agree for the most part. And well written as well.

[stepyo99]

Men and women aren't equal though and shouldn't be treated as such.

[OddBeMe]

Funny how assholes fit this if you strip it of gender.
