BraveNewWorld said: Instead of feminists viewing this as progress; they see it as regression. That tells you all you need to know about the feminist movement. |
Lol, they are not a single entity. Its essentially politics what you're playing at or being suckered into playing, using the worse examples to propergate idea's about others. Some people who call themselves feminists are assholes just being destructive, some aren't and genuinely see and try to upease in-equality in certain areas. Some people who don't consider themselves feminists are sexist mysogynistic pigs and don't see women as equals, others aren't and simply don't feel a righteous need to self identify as such. Read between the lines....
I mean just look at the video you posted, the person kept saying feminist said this and that... What feminists? where were the quotes or prints screens of all the internet convo's slaming her? Now I'm sure there is plenty, but I'm also sure there are plenty who are fine with her not self aligning herself in that way and some others who don't care whether she's a feminist or not but want to correct in how she defines the word i.e you can be a house wife, get paid more then your husband and still consider yourself a feminist. The same way you can be super rich, powerful, priviliged and still be a humanist despite your clear social advantage other others.
And this is coming from someone who does see toxic circles in people who label themselves as such, but the more you put people into binaries the more extreme they become lol
