Does anyone else agree with feminism?

Btw Ragtime I am a man and a feminist what does that make me in your eyes?

I'm all for strong, independent women, but Western Feminists rarely are, they spend too much time complaining about how they are unable to do things because of the suppression they feel from a societal structure, which somehow generates a state of passive repression, all the while actual strong, independent, women are out doing all the things the Western Feminists complain about not being able to do. Funnily enough, and this is a personal observation, I deal with people from all over the world on a daily basis in my job, men and women. I've rarely met a feminist amongst the women who have gone far up the ranks of the corporate world, yet if I step onto a Campus anywhere in the Western World, you'd think that I'd made up the story about all those women who succeed in business.

I'm also all for equal rights, no exceptions. I'm even for equal pay for equal work, experience, competence and so on. I'm the actual gender equality advocate here, I'm for literal equality in every single respect, which means that a person should be treated as gender neutral in every respect. My main issue with "Western Feminism" is the preoccupation with a societal structure that supposedly represses them. This is a bit strange of a concept for me, since it requires a person to assume that a system can be innately repressive, even when laws dictate that that very repression is illegal. It becomes a bit like the government handing out automatic rifles after a full on weapons ban has been put in effect.

Overall, there is just a tendency to ascribe certain things to a bias against women before ruling out every other option. There is the obsessing with "gender-based" violence, when the focus should be on violence period. Furthermore, this has a way of drawing focus away from the men of the country, out of whom quite a few have it worse than the majority of women. It's one of those statistics things, where women tend to gather around the middle, whereas men are more spread out along the spectrum. I don't think there should exist anything like "Women's rights", there should just be "rights".

I suspect that what you refer to as "Strong, independent women" are in fact the type that I think of as "Martyrs".

The women in my family do not fit into your views of western women also my mother had the same job as my father and was payed more because she worked harder then my dad.

Also my cousin emily is a volentire firefighter and can run the course faster then the out of shape men she works with.

My sister is a cop and makes more arrests then most men do at her work.

Also are you american? If not how come you view all western women as any diffrent then women from thrid world countries.

Yeah weight lifting physical trianing going to greco roman wrestling practice yet being a feminist at the same time makes me a real wussy this guy couldn't be more condescending.
