What does the word " Femminism" mean to you? And what do you think it should really mean?

it's a shared delusion about a victim complex. women are oppressed in some parts of the world we can agree on that. so actually for some parts of the world, feminism is actually not delusional. but for the west it is. cause the entire western education system is already streamlined best to work for women and put men at a disadvantage. which is very evident in education performance, which men should objectively perform better in, cause they are objectively more intelligent than women on average.

i'm not saying that to offend anyone. men are objectively and factually slightly higher in intelligence on average. not by a lot. but the fact that they perform worse in the education system means that the education system isn't made to cater to male strengths.

so women already have an unfair advantage from the getgo. plus there's all kinds of "inclusiveness" and "diversity" programmes that make it easier for women caue women "supposedly" have it harder, which is evidently not the case. generally when you see shit about "inclusion" or "diversity" these programmes are usually systemic sexism and/or systemic racism by the way.

so what i'm saying is: in the west we're living in a society that is delusional about "women being oppressed", while men actually are oppressed. the fact that men are still dominating economically is not "because" men are oppressors. but "despite" they re oppressed. cause men learn from an early age that "it's them against the world". and that the world doesn't help them. while women grow up entitled about the world caring for them and making it "fair" for them. so yeah. feminism got things a bit twisted. there used to be a time even in the west, where feminism was right. namely when women couldn't work or vote. that was fucked up. but that time is long ago and feminisms legitimacy vanished since.

It means giving women all the privileges of men without any of the responsibility or accountability. They want to vote, but not sign up for selective service; they want to work, but only the easy jobs so no roofing, mining, etc; they want to look and act like complete trash but still expect men to treat them like ladies. And all of this while constantly complaining about men and blaming them for all their problems while using devices built by men, sitting on a chair built by men, in a building built by men, with electricity, running water, and HVAC provided by men. It is a retarded and hypocritical ideology that is destroying civilization and any decent person should be ashamed to call themselves a feminist.

Who hurt you?

[DextroShade]

@DrPepper12 typical shaming response from pathetic simp. You NPCs need new lines.

[DrPepper12]

Near Perfect Creation? I got plenty of lines that work on women. You should try supporting your sisters, mom, aunts, nieces, grandma's, cousins, neighbors, coworkers and friends! Just curious, do you have something to be ashamed of (other than that Neanderthal POV) that you're triggered?

[DextroShade]

@DrPepper12 nope, I have these things called principles that worthless leftards like yourself will never understand.

[dustybiker2]

I like the original founding motivation. Woman deserve their own standing place in society. It wasn't against the other gender it was just a movement standing up for what was fair and just. If a woman wanted a loan she should be able to get one without a mans signature. If she could do a job better than other applicants she should be hired and paid the same for the job done properly as a man. As two examples.

Thank you for mho

It means "advocating for better treatment for females." Which can mean discrimination against men, extra preferential treatment to women, and a bunch of other things. Some malicious, some benign. It often also means getting better treatment for women, when they are already treated better, like in the justice system and academia.

[DrPepper12]

They're treated better? In academia? I spent my entire life in school as a student then a HS & college teacher! You haven't SEEN mansplaining until you've been in a faculty meeting! It's disgusting to witness and THEY DONT EVEN KNOW THEYRE DOING IT!!! As far as justice system I'll give you that. They ARE treated more favorably in family court - no doubt. But would you really want to trade? 71¢ to a man's dollar? Lost wages, retirement benefits and seniority due to maternity leave? 1 in 3 being a victim of domestic or sexual violence? Treated like a slab of meat for male eyes? Pushed out and counselled out of challenging classes? Constant use of "he" as assumptions of competence and success are male? No, I don't even think men in general can even handle menstrual cramps or endometriosis let alone pregnancy and childbirth.

[BetaBucks]

For the academia part, females get better grades, better admissions preferences, better access to scholarships, less frequency of discipline and less severity of discipline. At least the last time I looked at statistics.

The wage gap myth has been repeatedly debunked.

Objective metrics for experiencing SA and DV show men experiencing it at the same rates. Reporting at different rates, obviously.

[Nik1hil]

It technically aimed at Equal opportunity of attempt to women.

But then it changed to Equal opportunity of outcome.

Now it's become, all opportunities and no accountability and if it benefits women.

It should have been coined as "Equalism" Not "Feminism" that was the Big Mistake. Which led to people misunderstanding it and it's meaning getting moulded overtime

[DrPepper12]

GREAT POINT on branding!! TY for that knowledge drop!!

[NathanDavis]

I honestly don't bother with it...

there's a hundred and thousand different meanings to it from too many different people

and in reality, in my life, it's just not needed anymore either

[Dongie]

The placing of female above male. If a woman is feminine that's good. If she is feminist then she wants entitlement from society, men. Superiority. Masculine and feminine go together. Feminists and, well they have each other.

[DrPepper12]

They don't want entitlement. It SEEMS that way to fragile, stale, pale, males because they've never had to cede or share power before from "uppity" women.

[Dongie]

Watch it. I know what they want. It's soy boys that take their militant side.

[Anonymous]

Feminism to me means "equal opportunity for women" nothing more. I think the word has become incredibly bastardized over the years. I think a lot of people today have no real concept of what the actual meaning is anymore.

[loveslongnails]

I KNOW what its original meaning was, and I agree with that. I know what its been hijacked to mean now, and I think it's a shame.

[Anonymous]

Nothing. It isn't for me. Feminsm is for womem and is very unwelcome to men. In fact, the only place a man has in feminism is as the villain so you'll have to excuse me for not being interested.

[Opinion Owner]

Unwelcoming

[DrPepper12]

Feminism is the radical notion that women should be treated as equals in almost every area of life.

[smurfwrangler]

nowadays it means women who feel superior to men. it should mean equality

[DrPepper12]

At least qualify your reply with "few", "some" "a plurality" or "most"

[DtMe89]

It means, fighting for your rights
