That's a bad argument and you know it. This is just a neat little trick to make people say they are feminists. Are you for equal rights for men? Well, then I guess you are a Men's Rights Activist! Are you for a fair social system? Well, you must be a social democrat. Putting yourself on the moral high ground actually shows that you will use any tactic besides rationality to win an argument... which, ironically, means the person you are arguing with now has the moral high ground. You are not a better person than me because of your political views. Your views and mine are equally valuable - or don't you believe in equality and democracy? (See, it's a very shallow way to argue.) |
That’s literally all there is to being a feminist. If you think there’s more to it than that, you have problems, bud. And of course I’m a mens right activist. You know that spreading your legs in New York subways can get you fined or even pulled off a train? That law only applies to men. That’s an unfair law. I’m also very much pro-fair social system. And being for a fair social system hardly qualifies anyone as a Democrat.
So you’re essentially saying it is a political view that women get equal rights to men? That’s not a political stance, that’s called being a sexist, still. If you are among the people who think feminist means dying your hair blue and cutting it short while advocating for the “some are more equal than others” approach -I had better not ever see any hypocrisy over how you feel about gun owners, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc that all have bad and extremists among them. Feminism and feminists are different things. Ones a concept which I highly doubt you don’t support. Feminists are people, many of them flawed and have warped ideas of what feminism truly is.
