Stand by your own gender???


That sounds really ignorant

We should all be feminists

Feminism is about advocating for the equal treatment of the sexes

It shouldn't matter whether or not you're a woman yourself

Just because you're not the one experiencing the discrimination first hand doesn't mean you can't sympathize for the oppressed party and support their rights

I'm pretty sure you'd be singing a different tune if this were about a marginalized minority that you belong to

[Sarab]

Yes. Like it's been said before, anyone who believes in human equality is automatically a feminist.

It's about being awarded the same opportunities, receiving the same rewards and being treated the same before law.

And for the people saying that women already have equal rights, there are so many countries in the world where the law differs for men and women. There are so many societies where men and women are treated differently in all aspects. If men don't believe in feminism, if they don't show concern for "female culture", places like that will never change.

[AMENHOOKER]

No because it means that women have to go to work AND clean the home and cook.

[Eeveelution]

Yes. Unfortunately most guys my age are really ignorant about it and I drag them for it.

[Bathomet]

yes ofc.

[Jameson Teqkilla]

Yup.

[Idontcareaboutyou]

No.

[Cyanide]

In my own way

[bobolarue]

Of course!

Anyone who isn't a feminist...

[KremlinChaos]

Yes, I am a feminist. Some of the responses in this thread are disgusting.

I am not even going to go back and read every post in here because I know it'll just infuriate me how ignorant and just plain moronic some people are, so let me just say that yes, I am a feminist. Feminism means you believe that men and women should be treated equally and that no one sex should have more or less privileges simply because of that sex. That's it. Feminism is not hating men, it is not wanting women to be held above men or thought of as better, it is not about putting men down. That is horse **** and things that misogynistic people make up so that they can justify their women hating without (rightfully) getting bashed for it. Any sane, intelligent person with half a brain should consider themselves a feminist because if you don't, you're saying that you don't think women should be thought of as equal to men or get the same opportunities as men simply because they are women, and if you think that, then quite frankly we don't need you and you can just go jet off into outer space and leave us normal people on Earth. Thanks.

No. But I do believe that all people should be treated equality, of course.

Do you know what a feminist is? Honestly some people are so brain-washed by the media-spread exaggeration of hyper, men-bashing feminists.

I am of course a feminist.

I would say I'm a feminist, but I dislike the term "feminist" because- even though that is not the intent- it comes off as biased towards one specific demographic. Not because of ignorant assumptions some people make about feminism/feminists, but simply because of the term itself. It's a nitpick I know, but still.

So while I'm not active in any sort of movement myself, I do support feminist ideals. However I would prefer to call myself something actually neutral and unbiased. "Equalist" or something like that, or just say of myself that "I support equality". Just by the term and by phrasing, this sounds better and unquestionably unbiased and balanced to me.

I'm a proud defender of the standard of beauty, and I find it disgusting that feminists try to fight it off.

WTF

Plus, who gave you the rights to my avie?

one will always submit to the other

i expected some rotten responses when making this thread, but this is some disgusting, next-level retrograde ****.

[Marq]

Yes, I am 100% definitely a feminist. Anyone who says no does not stand for equality, period.

[Shapes]

People who aren't feminists are the pits

That's not true.

I wouldn't want to argue over it though when we're probably on the same page, it's just a nitpick of mine over terminology and attitude.

[Kali.]

No, no, and no.
I want it as far away from me as possible.

Yes there are jobs in which women and men are equal but feminism argues that it is across the board or at least it should be which is my point that it is not, Since its not such as in the military, construction, etc then lobbying for equal pay and/or that women should be treated the same through all society's structure is preposterous. You clearly see that inequality that cant be erased exist yet still argue for feminism.

My point is not to argue that manageable jobs should be limited to one gender it is that if its proven that one gender excels at that job more than the other then they should be rewarded more since they are more inclined to bring in more rewards for their work.

Feminism is the wrong approach, facing reality is much more sensible and that is that both genders are build differently and therefore policy and law should highlight the strengths of each not burden one another with the weaknesses of the other.

!!!!

Complete gender equality is impractical, naive and idealistic.
