I strongly oppose modern Feminism.

I define modern Feminism as hatred of men and boys and women who disagree. Modern Feminism attempts to justify revenge against modern men as a reasonable measure to achieve a Marxist notion of equality. It's a brutal and dangerous movement where members speak flippantly about brutality against men.

My female role models is Alice B. Gottlieb, MD, PhD, Ann Osborn, MD & Ellen N. Lee, MD.

No, I don't call myself a feminist. Feminism means nothing to me; however, I have somewhat of an idea of what it means to you and your kind; things, of which I don't agree with, it means the power to create equality between the sexes, but things are not going the way you all had planned. For example, there are women such as myself who are turning their backs on it; something that your kind don't understand.
I have no female roll model, having one means to put someone on a pedestal, people are human, they can only two things rise to the top or fall to the bottom and I would rather have them not be a victim of my idolization, no matter which way they go.

Hijacked human rights movement, a gender war was manufactured to speed up the shift from single taxpayer families to single taxpayers.

Modern conveniences and technology at home and in the workplace dissolved the need for a full time domestic and brute strength so all females must become taxpayers.

Pointing the finger at all men as a class is a red herring. It is and has been the ruling classes, not "men" that have been making the decisions.

I really dislike to be button holed, or to be branded, by any type of ism.

I recognized injustice from an early age. I was upset as a child to note that all the dolls had blue eyes and blonde hair. My eyes are brown.

It is really unsettling to realize that there is still so much bias. Reading the majority of answers shows how far we are from equality.
As woman it brings me to tears.

My role models are my mom, my daughter, my granddaughter. Mom lived in an era where moms stayed home, my daughter lives in a very hectic era where she has to be a super mom and employee, my granddaughter I pray will achieve it all with equal pay .

When I was young I considered myself pro-feminist.

Then I grew up.

Whereas I had read the definition of feminism, I assumed that feminists would actually be of that definition.

I did note that many feminists would not follow the definition, and I kept excusing them as misguided.

And the more feminists I met, the more I realised that I was observing an ongoing trend.

I observed, even as a child, how it was predominantly men getting screwed in various divorces... how children systematically were handed to mothers...

At first, I thought they were matters unrelated to feminism and although I did not look to feminism for an answer, I did begin to question the feminist movement for it's claim to equality.

"Why are feminists not interested in equality in this area?", I wondered...

Once I was an adult (20+) I began experiencing and witnessing more of the feminist mentality in play. Eventually, I began reading up on men's issues - and I kept seeing feminism as the target for blame. Initially I could not understand the connections (still believing 'feminism = equality'). But as more time went by, I could not deny that feminism was *at the very least* selective in it's definition of 'equality'.

Then things like VAWA came out, I became a Father, and with these (and more) the penny finally dropped. Feminism was not interested in equality - it was/is interested in supremacy.

I began reading more about feminism and noted a pattern.

Every 'study' feminism has released seems to have the function to perform one of the following:

Excuse or justify women's bad behaviours..
Blame men for women's bad behaviours (she wouldn't have done it, if he hadn't done xyz...)
Absolve women of responsibility (men get paid more because women choose to work less hours, etc.)
Absolve women of legal ramifications (woman killed husband because he *allegedly* abused her - regardless, she took his life)
Create hostilities between the sexes

And many more,

But the fundamental bias of feminism is very clear & apparent. The genie is out of the bottle, so to say.


Harriet Harman, a British MP - laughably in the position of 'Equality Minister' is a feminist.

A year back, she was taken to court for discriminating against a white man. She offered a job, the man was the most qualified AND most voted (from Harriet's own panel) for the position. She took on the first available woman instead of this man.

A year later, she is trying to change the law in England so a white man (by her own emphasis) can NOT take a company to court for discrimination if he is discriminated against.


This is modern feminism for you.

And she is not 'just one' example of today's feminist.

Only yesterday, I explained in another answer that men in Mexico are legally bound to have sex on demand with their wife. If he does not comply she can have him slammed in jail.
However, if he nags her for sex, she can have him slammed in jail.

Clearly, women in Mexico have legal control over a man's sexuality. And yet, this Y!A feminist DENIED that women have legal control over a man's sexuality.

That is how sexist & ignorant today's feminists are.


Feminism is NOT about equality.

It is blatantly about supremacy.
