As an American, I'm often shocked by how many people believe in the rhetoric of liberal politics and the federal government.
Take slavery for instance. Just the other day, a gentleman on here left a comment about how the Civil War was justifiable because it freed the slaves, and how the Confederate flag represents white supremacy.
Wow! So you think Northern Aggression was justifiable? Does no one look at history? Do you know what an incompetent job they actually did of freeing the slaves? How the feds opened the door for race wars, hatred, and violence and then blamed it on the South, when they are the ones who made things far, far worse?
So, is it the same for feminism? Has it actually gotten you anywhere, or do you just believe whatever the big business of liberal politics tells you?
I would keep race vs. gender equality issues as separate issues.
They are completely different topics but the left loves to equate them as all the “intersectional equality” struggle bs.
For example I can usually relate much more to another hetero black man being a hetero white man vs. to another hetero white woman. Yes we have different issues but we are actually more alike both being men.
The left likes to take things that are true e. g. slavery, Jim Crowe, etc was horrible and wrong to push things that aren’t true e. g. there are 37+ genders. They believe racism = sexism = homophobia = “transphobia”. They over simplify everything for ulterior purposes.

Depends which feminism we are talking about. Original feminism got me the right to vote, work, own property, and not be raped by my husband, among other good things.
Where has modern feminism gotten me? It has put me in a world where men and women hate each other more and more every day, where women have abandoned their femininity and men are shamed for being men, where men are afraid to approach me or have a business meeting with me in a conference room without someone else there too, where women who want to be SAHMs are made to feel inferior, and where the percentage of children born outside of wedlock rose from 4% in the 50s to more than 40% today.
Women have had the same legal rights as men for a long time. Today feminism is hurting women (and men), not helping them, but it's still hanging on by inventing "issues" to fight against, including the misogyny that feminism itself is causing.
Feminism should have been abandoned years ago.
Yes it has.
I'm educated and still getting educated , I have a passport which allows me to travel on my own if I want to, I own property, I am working part time in a male dominated field and will continue to do so when I finish my degree, I get paid equal salary as the rest who have the same qualifications and experience as me, I can easily get birth control if I wanted to get to that stage, I can vote, I can keep my surname if I wanted to, I can get divorced if I were to get married and I perhaps get abused amongst other things etc
I do and can do a plethora of things that I wouldn't have dreamed about had the feminists before me not done their part in infiltration the system that that didn't recognise them as capable.
I have proven myself worthy of all my successes which is why I deserve the same amount of rights.
Actually yes. I enjoy a fair bit of freedoms courtesy of Feminism which I would not have as a men without them.
As for Slavery, yes the Civil War was justified, not only on moral grounds but also because the secession was illegal. Let me remind you, it is called a CIVIL WAR, not a conquest of a foreign nation. "USA", not the "North" was in its full right to bitchsmack the treasonous confederate losers for trying to rebel against the democratically elected government.
As for how bad job they did of freeing the slaves? At least the did something, as opposed to the right wing which undermined their efforts and is the people behind the hatred, violence and race wars. I also love how you say that the left wing made it "much much worse" when, there is no slavery today. I do not know how to tell you this but slavery is worse than what exists today.
You my mentally challenged friend got some really stupid logic.

I can have a career of my choosing, own my car, bank account, home, make executive decisions in all areas of my life, get on the pill, live life as I damn well please, and it’s fabulous!
When it first started out, yes. I can work, I can buy a car, have my own bank account, I can go to school if i wanted to, rent or buy my own property, I can choose my own romantic partner, I can vote etc.
Feminism, and its closely related woke ideologies, are destroying western society. In the meantime feminists just continue to deflect by saying "that's not real feminism" or "feminism is just about equality" so they don't have to take responsibility for any of the harm they are doing. It helps them sleep at night.
Uh yes. The right to vote, the right to make decisions about our own bodies, the right to initiate divorce, the right to own property, better access to education, more equitable pay.
It has benefited women greatly especially during the initial years of the movement.
Western feminism from the tiny bit I know of it seems totally destructive with constantly trying to pick fights with men.I wouldn’t have wanted to be part of the Viking era 😂
So you think that the north and the south should have came to a peaceful agreement to keep slavery legal in the south lol
"Northern aggression" says the one simping for traitors who enslaved human beings!
Weren't it for feminism i would not have gotten my necessary surgeries from the female surgeon and the medical team. Just saying.
You mean anywhere "productive?"
Not really.Feminism made me less feminine.
Hoh yes. What about you?

This bot account needs to be taken down.
