This question was asked a couple of days ago by *Censored* (she has blocked me so I can't actually tag her) but seeing as she started removing every comment she didn't like and blocking those who disagreed with her, therefore removing the possibility of discussion and debate, I've decided to ask the question again. No opinions will be removed and nobody will be blocked!

You can read a more in-depth view of my opinion on the matter here: https://rantingravingblog.wordpress.com/2018/01/27/feminism/

However, allow me to sum up my answer by using *Censored* as an example. I don't consider myself a feminist because feminism (despite many claiming otherwise) is not solely about equality. Feminism is a movement with multiple waves and therefore has multiple ideologies. Feminists such as *Censored* choose not to research the claims they make (e. g. wage gap, pink tax, rape culture, etc) and claim that "feminazis" are but a small minority of the movement. However, even the self-proclaimed rational feminists such as *Censored* will silence those who speak out against their ideology, resort to petty name calling, and will preach equality while also stating that feminism isn't about men and therefore there is no need for them to stand up for men's rights (she's probably deleted that comment now but she said this in the comments of her question yesterday).

I completely support equality of opportunity, regardless of sex, gender, race, sexuality, etc, but I do no support a movement that behaves immorally and childish. If you get angry because someone doesn't label themselves a "feminist" despite that person still standing for equality, then you are part of the problem.

Democrat-supporting women strip off for photo shoot called 'Grab Them By The Ballot' in an attempt to persuade people to vote against Republicans

A diverse group of women stripped off for photographs with just a ballot covering their privates as part of a campaign to urge people to vote Democrat in the upcoming midterm elections.

Ten women took part in the series called 'Grab Them By The Ballot' hoping the powerful images will encourage people to cast their ballot on November 6.

Dawn Robertson, 48, decided to organize the photo shoot with a cast of diverse women of different sizes, sexual orientations and races after #MeToo allegations against prominent figures continued to rise.

She said the Republican party's attack on women's reproductive rights and transgender people's rights also played a part.

And she named her campaign with a play on President Donald Trump's now-infamous comments while aboard an Access Hollywood bus.

Note: I’m not necessarily referring to discrimination by race/ethnicity in the blatant sense of hanging a “no blacks allowed” sign outside a shop.

— I got an email from my university saying they’re launching a new program for “students of color/ LGBTQ+ students/ First generation college students/ Religious minorities/ Students with disabilities” and essentially stated you had to be in one of those categories to apply. The program is to help introduce students to faculty and promote relationships for the future.

— My school has a study lounge for black people only.

— Some have argued affirmative action is a form of discrimination.

Assuming that these are, by definition, acts of discrimination, are they justified? What about discrimation in the broader sense? Why or why not?
