What are your thoughts on feminism? (Page 2)

Question

Recently I got into a heated debate with my lecturer about feminism. We were suppose to break down a thesis and I chose to speak about third world feminism (basically inequality towards woman and children in much poorer, less developed counties). I was talking about how first would feminism, mainly the USA has overshadowed the actual meaning of feminism. And why I chose not to be a feminist for certain things American feminists are fighting for. Example: why should the color blue only be related to boys and pink to girls, or man spreading, being extremely obese and calling it "confidence'. And just hating the subtext of "men". But, there are so many great things they fought for. I. e:voting, my body my choice, work hierarchy, body positivity ( the healthy one), why "women related products" are more expensive compared to men. Which in all in is just consumerism and marketing. Anyways, coming back the third world feminism. While I was enlightening my fellow classmates about this topic, my lecturer cuts me off and says that I've picked a rather "challenging" topic for me to comprehend and in a way says that this topic is rather "useless". This behaviour irked me of course, because women and children in poor countries are going through child marriages, abuse, gender discrimination, being "brides" to pedophiles and the worst baby girls being killed because parents only want sons. Personally, I feel like the reason why some people are not supportive of feminism is because first world countries have been on the spotlight for so long with some of the nonsensical things their fighting for until there's no room for other countries to voice out. So what are your thoughts about this matter?

I'm not buying it. Feminism or not, it doesn't impact me in any way, shape or form. Never has. And guess what? I still have my testicles. Wow!
anyway most GAG blues are itching to blame feminism (and sometimes blame women too) for literally anything and everything for pretty much their own shortcomings. Or maybe they're bored to death.

not once in my lifetime have i had any issues with it, so i can't say anything about it.
other than that? i love women.

Third world feminism, very needed. First world feminism, just another way to pass responsibility to someone else. Fat beaches: get in shape, be nice and dependable, and date proper guys.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

The bottom line for me is feminism = equality for women, and I have absolutely no problems with that at all.

Yourfriend2021 · Answer

The problems in third world countries are one thing, western feminism is another. Hatred of men, is ridiculous. I think people are equal, but men have their place and women have theirs. We are equal but also different, right?

FreyaRed · Answer

It turned in an ideology with weird objectives, I don't support most of them.

Malik00 · Answer

Feminism is frankly just an excuse for entitled white women to feel like they are victims.

msc545 · Answer

Sorry, but you apparently are still in your echo chamber. Men generally hate feminists because of the way they treat men, not because they ignore women in third-world countries.

White_Boy_506 · Answer

White women are the most sheltered and protected demographic of human beings on the planet. But they still always find things to complain about. Even though everyone including black guys treat them like Queens.

The idea of it isn't bad. The execution can be. I called a girl who begged me to date her annoying. They (my online community) called it sexist. Turns out that girl was a girlfriend scammer (look it up). Is that still sexist? If so, I guess I'm sexist then.

AngelLily · Answer

I think it was good during the First wave but the politics of the community went down hill fast during the 60s/70s

anytime you're dealing with a college or university expect liberal hell from a psycho liberal teacher. 100% of teachers in any college are going to be die hard psycho liberals. the bill of rights the right to free speech doesn't exist in their whacked out warped little minds and according to the sick fucks at any college aka liberal hell you're not allowed to voice any opinion other than the ones they force feed and shove viciously down your throat

Feminism has not solved any issues for women. You think it's "because of feminism" that women are less oppressed in the first world? That's so wrong...

clampfan101 · Answer

I remember feminism once simply being women demanding equal rights as men, which I totally agree with. Nowadays though, it feels like nothing but blind anger…
