Most people are clueless about what feminism is. It's about having rights that are equal to men, not having more rights or being superior to men. If it wasn't for feminism I wouldn't be allowed to do most of the things I do right now, at least in this country, like go out and buy food instead of starving to death in my apartment because I don't have a man to escort me everywhere I go, or wear pants in public, or be arrested and given water torture for trying to vote.

You're absolutely right, but unfortunetly so many women who call themselves feminists in modern times make it very clear that they hate men and don't give a s**t about their rights.

How about we just call it "equality"?

Your mom also has to realize if we didn't have men, there wouldn't be anymore people because it takes a man and a woman to have a baby.

That is very true. Men and women need each other to keep the human species alive so they should both learn to respect each other.

The people behind that’s study said it’s not true. It was not well controlled and only for one college.
Wage gap a lie.
It takes the average of all men and the average of all women and compares them it doesn’t take into account type of work, and time off for pregnancies and raising kids etc.
it does not compare two people working the same job for the same amount of time same time at the company.
A male nurse makes the same as a female nurses. Females in retail make the same as males in retail. I could say there’s a wage gap in retail where women make more then men. More women work retail and thus more women get pay raises and more women climb the retail ladder to management. But men who do the same make the same. I’ve worked at my company for 3 years, and omen hired today make little less then me but they make the same I’m few months.

So comparing women nurses to male doctors and saying women get paid less is what the wage gap is.
Good luck finding a woman who has all the same factors of a man in the same position at the same company who makes less
Ie both have been at the company for the same time, neither have taken time off, both do the same quality of work.

It’s ludicrous.
Even more ludicrous is the pink tax idea

It was in the past yess
Organizations change though and I think quite few people who defend feminism today don’t take that into account.
Republican and democrat organizations changed to opposite of what they were.
When first wave feminist oppose current feminism that says something.
How is men having their legs spread hurting women’s rights?
How does having the ac on make women less equal?
Then there’s the ones who wanted castrated and killed yep that sure sounds like equality.
Reality is legally speaking you are equal feminism completed its task now you have a organization that’s trying to stay relevant so it can continue to make money for those in charge much like how the nra supports gun control to keep its continued existence so it’s ceo can make more money. If feminists said well done mission accomplished let’s all be equalitarians now and fight for all humans rights who would donate to them? Who would pay their ceos salary ? So they fine stupid crazy issues to fight over to justify their continued existence. Similar congress does the same thing.
It’s all about money. So they give the crazies a platform.
Men are the enemy.
I’m a equalitarian and thus feminism says I’m the enemy. If people who want equality for all humans are the enemy of feminism what’s that say about it?

Actually their quite close to being able to make a baby from two women. Splicing dna and such science stuff well above my intellect.
Our future is probably that of vanddred
Two societies one male and one female who both see each other as horrible monsters that need to be killed.
In that show men are born in tubes and women use science to impregnate each other. They live on two planets and have zero contact besides war, believing just breathing the same air would kill each of them.

Or or that movie where the males are sent to another area while the women are raised and educated. Mars needs moms or something like that. Male babies were left to die on the surface.
In zombie show a society exiled their male child to death in the wasteland at age of 10 cause males are nothing but violent rapists, if the kids come back their fed alive to a bear(yet the males are violent ones )
Humans are violent, lots of women are violent

A good and neccessary movement that has been hijacked by people who have utterly destroyed its reputation.

Like so many other things now.

True feminists who are truly advocating for equality between men and women I completely agree with and support.

However, a lot of people who claim to be feminists simply aren't, they're misandrists who don't want to admit what they truly are, and so hide behind the feminist label. You can't have a debate with them because they go straight onto the defensive and ridicule you just because you are male. These people I cannot stand.

I think there was a time for it, and there is a place for it. But in this point in time it does more harm than good.

I am also sick of being called a "Traitor" to my sex for being prolife (Because apparently my gender means I shouldn't think for myself), and have gotten repeatedly lectured for being "Sexist" by mostly men and some women for being prolife, while they argue in arguing for abortion basically that certain women cannot be capable mothers and are not capable of self control.

A lot of modern feminism is just girls yelling at anyone with a different opinion and men hating.

Of course there was a time that feminism was very important, but at least in most american areas women and men are on a similar enough playing field that feminism can only hurt. It is a movement that needs clear direction and it has lost it.

Do you eat plants? They're living. To me, if you're prolife and are against an embryo/foetus pre-27 weeks (27 weeks being the point where the vast majority of medical experts agree a foetus begins to feel pain) being terminated, even though it cannot make sense of the fact it is dying and doesn't feel any pain, then that person should also be against consuming any form of life in the form of nutrition, including plant life, as plant life is living. It seems to be massively hypocritical. There is literally no argument against abortion which takes place before 27 weeks of pregnancy, unless you're a religious nut job.

Yes, I eat plants but I don't go around squashing grass every time I see it. I also don't eat meat which minimizes my affect on plants as well (Because it takes more plants to raise meat then to just eat plants). Basic survival is a different issue, you have to eat to live, but you do not have to have an abortion to live. I believe every animal has a right to try to survive even if for itself that means harming another life. For instant, a parasite living with in a human that may kill the human one day is doing nothing wrong, and a human trying to flush out that parasite is also doing nothing wrong, both are simply surviving. That also leads into my only exemption for when abortion is okay, which is when the life of the mother is at risk, which currently is much less than 1% of abortions.
Pain isn't everything.

It is entirely possible to kill a grown human without pain, and you can go further and kill them in their sleep, no pain, and they won't know what happened to them, but still illegal.

You cannot prove it to conscious because a fetus cannot communicate. But, regardless, it is a human individual that can never again exist. Separate DNA, separate body, and is simply to young to survive off of it's mother.

Some other points;
1. A few decades ago most level 2 and below autistic people were viewed as husks of humans or sub human for similar reasons.
2. There is a condition that causes people to be unable to feel pain, yet they are and should be still viewed as full people.
3. Many adults also cannot live without outside help, for instance someone who needs a ventilator to survive.
4. The brain is not fully developed until the mid twenties.
5. fetuses have lived as young as being born at 21 weeks. Allowing abortion until 27 is messed up.
6. My own state allows abortion up to birth.
7. I am a relugios nut job, but that has nothing to do with taking issue with millions of abortions that happen every year.
8. I have wanted to adopt desperately for a while, I hate seeing anyone just want to throw that life away, especially seeing as I would gladly take their place.

Let's not go to far into this however, as I don't want to distract from the actual thread.
my point was most modern feminists don't even have respect for other women once they are disagreed with.

So you believe that a woman should not have an abortion if they were raped? If the child is going to die? If they will be very severely disabled?

Not even the rapist gets a death sentence, so I see no need to kill a child that did nothing. I mean, if you want to kill someone, go after the rapist.

Everyone dies one day, any life is better than none at all.

I don't think anyone should be scared of any disability. I go out of my way to meet people with all kinds of disabilities and most seem satisfied with their life. I cannot think of many things worse than trying to eradicate an entire group of people like that, it's just modern eugenics at best, genocide at worst.

So a big definitely not. All of these are extreme minorities in abortions however anyway.

If someone cannot handle any of the three, I would gladly adopt and so would many others.
