GS: Femenism, Sexism and Misogyny?

First of I have severe problems with the logical thought process of people who label themselves(such as liberals, conservatives,christians) and one of my main problems is femenism and it's link to the entitlement of females.

there are few in numbers sane femenists more of radical extremists/ "waah I had a bad relationship now time for revenge" The femenists who feel men are Dictators, and that ALL men do all bad things, there's nothing wrong with generalizing, but most aren't.I once came across a femenist who believed ALL men should keel over and die, assumedly from 4 year olds to 80 year olds, because all is all.

On the flip-side of the coin i ******* hate mysogynists, again not all men are vile women haters, but less of them are as radical as femenists, for the assholes that are vile women haters, **** you, you're "Make me a sandwich" joke is as stale as the bread above your fridge. You don't DESERVE to get paid more, you earn pay!Women aren't collector's items that you can brag about eloping with.

How about **** politics, sexism all of it and make everything neutral(i know a conservative will work this into "I want communism") Equal work equal pay, non-biased court system, women are too favored,enough with gender roles, that was already old school since the working woman anyway. Perfect neutrality, Can we make THAT a thing instead of Femenism, or whatever men have(i dont think they have a thing, men arent allowed to complain) or the Libs and Conservatives?

    "GS: Femenism, Sexism and Misogyny? "

    Good points have been made here so far. The biggest one is that feminism served it's purpose to push the idea of equal rights, which was agreed upon in the society, and acted upon. Women have equal rights to men in all western nations enshrined in law. This was the original stated goal of feminism. Job done!

    But rather than call it a day, it has morphed into a gender divisive social engineering program that does nothing but find fault in men and the behavior of males. There is nothing 'equal' about it's presentation and lobbying efforts. Feminism is now a destructive poison that permeates our society and fosters gender war. Never cohesion and harmony.

    It pains me to see how many people believe that feminism is not about equality. IT IS! Feminism, by definition is a movement in support of equality of the genders, none of this sick "women should rule the world" garbage. Don't get it twisted. Not all feminists believe in the agenda of militant misandrists that are sometimes also referred to as 'feminazis.' Feminazis are the far left of feminism. Comparing them to the vast majority of true-to-definition feminists would be like saying that all white men are bigots and are part of the Ku Klux Klan. It doesn't really work that way.

    Good points. I was a feminist for a while, but dudes got the same problems and other feminists embarrass me, furthermore, feminism is linguistically similar to racism and a lot of feminists are bigoted towards men, so, no more feminism for me. Gender equality is good, but you don't need to be a feminist to believe in it. In fact, many people who aren't feminists do believe in equality.

    It would be true to say that most misandrists are feminists making it a movement that either attracts or creates them. By definition it is not possible to be egalitarian and either misandric or misogynistic so in my eyes feminism is not a movement for equality and fosters hate between the sexes.
