Dictionary says feminism is about equality. I say I'm a feminist. That means I support equality. Air tight logic, right?

"Dictionary says feminism is about equality. I say I'm a feminist. That means I support equality. Air tight logic, right?"
Yup. I guess even *I* am a feminist then. I mean .... I believe in equality. Of course, I don't believe in that crazy feminist "Patriarchy" conspiracy. But that doesn't matter, because I honestly believe in equality ... therefore I must be a feminist. ... Right?
As a true feminists then, I will now call out all the other rubbish that has nothing to do with equality. The wage gap is also complete nonsense. There is no "rape culture" either. And I don't care much for taking down gender roles. All of these items have nothing to do with equality .... so I'm still a feminist because I do believe in equality.
I will call out ALL the prominent "feminists" who have ever stated anything bad or unequal about men. NONE of them are feminist. We are now getting down in numbers to the actual feminists that are left to be counted. Any "feminist" who is looking to deny men entrance into rape shelters is not a "true feminist". Any feminist who agrees with the inequality behind affirmative action is not a "true feminist". Any "feminist" who willingly accepts privileges, or women's only privileges is also not a "true feminist".
How many "feminists" are left now here besides me? 6 ....7? .... 10 max?

You're the fairest person I'll meet? What, is everybody else in the gestapo or something?
Anyway, if you're going to repeat the same old shtick, maybe you should have a stronger case. If I go to those questions I can easily show any REASONABLE person that they're an attack (and a well deserved one) on feminism. Not an attack on women. Learn the difference.
Hell, the first question even SAYS feminists in the part YOU quoted.
And then some bald assertion of what anti-feminists want. Got any kind of support for this at all? Even an anecdote?
Anti-feminists don't say that all feminists care about is themselves. We say that all they care about is white liberal western women or, alternately, just women.
Yes, if you can't prove your assertions and they come across as hateful, I'm going to treat you like ****. That is true.
Sigh.. and then you once again conflate 'feminism' with 'women'. Sigh....

Except that when dealing with social groups, it's not a clear definition. It's like trying to clearly define what a Socialist is. There are many Socialists with very varied views.
The trouble with Feminists is that many of the more vocal faces of the movement have not portrayed it in a very good light, and have said and done things which frankly make them look like awful people.
There's also a large number of Feminists who get very angry at anyone who doesn't want to use that label, even when made clear that they believe in equality.

No the dictionary doesn't say it's about equality. It says "the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes" so they only advocate womens rights. Men have no reproductive therefore as a feminist you would never do anything about this therefore not equality. LOGIC *****.

The feminists I know are the fairest people you will likely meet and way way more fair than you.
This is your idea of fairness - making target practice on the women in this section- it's clearly personal and it's about promoting bullying of the women in this section because they are women - right? - purely sexist and ONLY about sexism and hurting women who post to push us out likely.
These are your questions:
"Feminists, if you think you're being bullied, have you thought that maybe a free forum isn't the place for you and you should try a nice...?"
"Why are women such frail, scared little babies that they can't even hold their own on an anonymous internet forum?"
Anti-feminists don't seem to understand what fairness or equality means - they tend to be male-centric and want 100% of the world to be for them - not sharing 50 /50 - that is the problem. Anti-feminist hate mythology is that all feminists care about is themselves and are sexist and evil and deserved to be treated like **** on the internet - this thinking just shows how really sexist against women you are when you make all this constant put down of women. It's really you against all the women here - isn't it?

No. That means you say you support equality (between men and women). There is a difference between saying you are a feminist and being one.

So, what argument is there. I'm a feminist and I support equality. End of story.
- Anonymous5 years ago
I am a feminist.
Now make me a sandwich
SAYING you are something does not MAKE you something. Regardless of whether you said you are a feminist or not, only people who have no vested interest in the claim can make it for you.

The dictionary says the Nazi party is a social worker's party. Some would argue that in real life the Nazi party went a bit beyond there wsicial worker's philosophy.
