I couldn't agree more tbh. The feminism of today has nothing to do with the real feminism (my opinion). As for the third world countries I agree that women have less rights than men but there isn't much we can do about it. I would gladly help if I had a chance though..
I wouldn't say they were total idiots, but ignorant. Nicely put.

In 1st world countries feminism is no longer needed and the thing we do need is equalism which is equality for all not just making females equal to males in areas that males have it better but ALSO making it so men are equal to women in the area where women have it better. But Feminism is def. needed in 3rd world countries.
I'd suggest that you primarily call yourself an egalitarian, perhaps, if you'd like, you can call yourself an egalitarian who specializes in women's right's and through terminology consider yourself a feminist.
I agree with you. There is a branch of feminism called "Womanism" which focuses exclusively on WOC rights in the global North and the global South.

"feminism" is about "women's empowerment" and "special rights" for women. The word itself contains the latin subroot "fem".. which is a focus on women. The correct word for true equality is "egalitarian" not "feminism". Learn the difference!
Part of the problem is that on key issues like the wage gap, there is no difference between feminists and feminazis. Both groups continue to believe that the wage gap is primarily due to sexism which has time and time again been proven false.
@Byakuyarko whatever you have to say. Say here since I am blocked over there. Do you have any research to back your claims? . Yes I know it is illegal to know the gender of the baby and we all know how law abiding citizens Indians actually are. There have been countless cases of hospitals doing sex determination in exchange of money. Countless. Many daughters are also killed after birth. So according to you, the fact that there are 945 girls for every 1000 boys in India and lakhs of girls are killed is no big deal? Wow. You are a perfect example of the misogyny. The sex ratio is skewed because indian families desperately want male children and are willing to take extreme measures to ensure it.
I can post countless links to show you just how 'rigorously' the law is imposed. As to your earlier claim, India has a SPECIFIC problem with rapes and crime against women while America has a high crime rate in every domain.
@Transigence you don't live in India you have no idea just how severe catcalling is here. Catcalling leads to stalking then eve teasing and eventually rape here in many cases. Wherever you are from, it is not that big of a problem so it does not have legal implications. 90 girls are raped daily in India, if your country will have such problems then you come to know why such a step was taken.
Then why do most women still hold traditional values when dating.

There isn't a difference. Peddling more nonsense. That's the problem with feminism. The sad part is most of the underlings aren't smart enough to even realize they are doing it.
we are not equal we are not the same all different. things that apply to women don't apply to men we are treated differently and raised differently my thoughts
@Eric644 nah women are beneath men because men are the head I'm not saying they're slaves but they definitely shouldn't be the head or at the side as they aren't good decision makers although I do think their input should be required before men go off to do certain things but as far as them making decisions nope that's ludicrous

The funny thing about feminist and feminazi is that feminist don't speak out or object to feminazi's actions. They just remain silent.

Lol whoever blocked my posts, a really smart move because you knew you would be outsmarted by my facts. Hats off.

I've been seeing these a lot lately. I've also been seeing the "all feminists r big meanies" threads.
And from what I've read in those threads, I really don't see this converting anyone. Their butthurt is too strong.
Don't ever apologize for being a feminist/humanist.
we should embrace the differences among men and women and create a better future.
Then why do most women still hold traditional values when dating.
There isn't a difference.

I wish our country had more women that think the way you do about this. For that matter, also more men.

I prefer Grammar Nazis. And there's no apostrophe in Feminazis.
Still don't agree women aren't equal to men period!
but they should be

Your right, totally right. Thank you for writing such a well done take and fighting ignorance:)
You are a feminist and you are saying it is to get the equality between the both gender but mentioned only girls problems. Why?
