Aeolus brought a point that helped me understand you properly. When I mentioned feminism, I was referring to the overall movement, not the modern day feminism in western countries.

 

I will certainly say their priorities are in the wrong locations. Instead of doing ridiculous movements like the Pussy hat movement or whatever, it'd be nice if they focused on women in the US who actually need help...a lot of poor women can't afford hygiene products. I don't know about you, but I'd rather help the women who need certain items instead of wasting my time with silly rallies (pussy hat rally, slut rally, etc).

 

Feminism is good and has the ability to still be useful, but the approach many take nowadays is something I won't stand by.

 

I agree with you more, but at first I failed to see your original point

 feminism is pretty much dead in terms of activity in all areas where it would be needed

in fact i would say that there is an inversely proportional relationship between women being treated poorly by a society and the presense of feminism

 

"it'd be nice if they focused on women in the US who actually need help"

 

well tbh i don't really believe that the aim is to help women at all (by the elements that actually have power, not by the random people who follow what they are told), but that's my opinion

 

"a lot of poor women can't afford hygiene products."

 

well that's what being poor means for both men and women

we define poor people as people who lack the money to buy things

 

the thing is that i don't disagree that women's interest shoud be looked out for, i totally stand behind that, but it must be done in a sensible logical way, not a way that is entirely guided by emotional rhetoric

They can't afford it, but let's be honest - tampons and other products just cannot be ignored. 

 

I'd happily support any movement which made it easier for a woman to have access to products she may need during her time of the month. Unlike slut rallies, it'd actually help them.
