| S.T.A.G.E. said: That isn't a feminist. Feminists want social, economical and political equality to men. Shes sexist. |
Sadly, I think you'll find an awful lot of extremism in the modern "feminist" movement. A scary amount, actually. That is hardly to say that all self-identifying feminists are man-haters, or that they are extreme or want anything more than actual social equality. However, MANY of them, the "vocal minority", if you will, are extreme and it gets rather disgusting.
Modern feminism in many ways bears little resemblence to the first two movements that actually fought for something good, and DID some good. There is too much ugliness, I think, associated with this new movement, largely thanks in part to the internet age and social media. I know for a fact that I don't like it. It would be nice if modern "feminism" were a genuinely more nobel movement, as a whole, but unfortunately, that's not the way it seems to be going.
I absolutely respect women, as a straight man, and believe in social equality for all. But that's why I consider myself an Egalitarian, not a Feminist. I believe ALL people, regardless of sex, ethnicity, etc., deserve equal treatment. In ALL things. We need to grow up, as a race, as a civilization, and grow beyond obsessions over gender, skin color, etc. That certainly would be nice..........
