Is mindblowing the difficulties people have to understand the concept of feminism.

And now turns up that if you belive in equal rights for both genders you are sexually repressed and a virgin, holy shit, VGC never fails to impress me.

You see, feminism was created when men were the clear dominants and women were treated like a 2nd class citizien, so those people that fought for the rights of the women to have equality with men were called feminist, it was a fight for women, that's why it was called feminism, but not because women were better but because they were equal, and nowadays the concept is still the same, a true feminist fight for women rights to be considered equal as men, not better, if some of them do that, then they are doing it wrong, but most feminist I know are not like that at all, feminazis are a minority.

do you live in saudi arabia? i would totally be a feminist if I was there. In the countries where I have lived so far there is not 1 right men have over women. I could think of a couple of rights women have over men though, doesn't mean i'm a 'meninist' or a 'masculinist'

There still some inequality in advanced countries though and is not only about rights but about cultural perception too, we still have prejudices about genders, maybe not you, maybe not me, but there still some out there and feminists don't like it, wich is normal because that is part of the fight.
There are still reason to be feminist in this countries, not a radical one though, I can agree with that.

I have never been active on feminism at all, I can only call myself feminist because I do agree with the concept, but it worries me how people try to demonize a movement that has been so important for our society and is overall positive even if there are some annoying extremists and manhaters, now if you dare to point at anything where women are not treated equally you are called a Social Justice Warrior, a feminazi, a sexually repressed virgin, etc etc

It's concerning.
