feminism

First of all i want to say that most of the entries on feminism are disrespectful and infuriating. The arguement that feminism states that women are better than men was created and is sustained by insecure men who are afraid of patriarchy tumbling down on their priveledged ignorant heads. WAKE UP people and look around you. all those "examples" of brain size, decreased male entry into college, etc are just excuses to either degrade women or only superficially examine the issues of gender equality. FEMINISM IS: 1.)respecting people of all genders (recognizing the diversity in sexuality, from homosexuals, transgendered, heterosexuals and transexuals) as human beings that deserve to be treated with respect. 2.) recognizing the past inequalities that have historically denied women access to many social, economic and political spheres that are mostly occupied by men. 3.)Recognizing the result of these inequalities have lasting impacts today

respecting a person enough to ask their consent before having sex not seeing a woman as an object but as a human being, this means making eye contact not checking out her body listening to women (and men of course) respectfully as you would men if you are a heterosexual straight white male, check your priveledge when talking about equality and recognize other people's experience as valid instead of monopolizing experiences relating to gender equality feminism is RESPECT

Feminism

Feminism is a political, social, and cultural movement that aims at equal rights for women. Its beginnings and extreme controversy in a (Western) patriarchal society has created stigma and stereotypes associated with the definition. Some include that feminists are: -lesbians -man haters -'hairy-legged bitches' Feminism helped women get the vote, obtain equal rights for jobs, made laws to control domestic violence, help women obtain the rights to own property, to divorce, to have access to birth control and to have possession of their own bodies. Feminism is still needed in today's society. One can see this through the other versions of this definition. Man = Woman, no more, no less. Women were, and in social aspects, still are, treated as inferior. Sexism began as early as Aristotle, who claimed that women were 'imperfect' men since they did not contain a penis on their persons. To be superior, one must make something inferior. I am sure this definition will get many 'thumbs down', but it is the truth. I am a wo-man and I am a feminist.

"I am a feminist" "So you hate men?" "No...I think women should have equal rights as men" "WTF YOU SLAG CUNT FACED-BITCH" "...I still believe in feminism."

Feminism

Feminism has a diversion of meanings A long time ago it was meant for the rights of women, being able to vote and the ability to own land. Very quickly, though, once the rights were gained, the feminists went to getting against using masculine pronouns to tell about a group of people that could be male or female. Those 2 were very good examples of feminism. Though then, feminism started becoming something different. Instead of changing "he" to "them" or alike, it was then turned into "she". Alot of feminism was then women opposing men, women deciding that they were superior to males and they were better and more perfect in many ways. Neither is true. Women=Humans and Men=Humans. Neither have a superiority to eachother. From the start, it was going against sexism. Now, most feminism is becoming sexism itself. Real feminism includes both men and women, also including myself. I believe that men and women are equal and should not be subject to sexual descrimination. Many of the definitions on here you may see is greatly biased, as the people for feminism only focus on the good; the thought that feminism is against all types of stereotype "ism's", and the people against, only focus on examples like Germaine Greer who is by far a fake and sexist feminist, who denounces all men to be subhuman, inferiors and rapists. Feminism in general is a great view of humanity in my opinion, but many hurt the philosophie's reputation by turning the good

A True Feminist would say that Women and men are equal, they shouldn't be sexually torn apart in any ways Sexist feminists would say that all gender neutral pronouns should be said using feminine pronouns Actual example: Sexist male: Women are shit True feminist female: No, women are equal. Sexism is bad. Don't be like that Another example Sexist male: Women are shit Sexist feminist female: No, women are the best and men are shit. Another example Feminism believing male: Men and women are equal Sexist feminist female: No, women are not equal to men. Men are inferior.
