Feminism

According to the dictionary, feminism is:  "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes"

For 'economic equality', would you not require a Socialistic government that then redistributes income? Why should we have 'economic equality' among men and women? Men and women should make equal pay for an equal amount of work.  They should not make equal amounts of pay regardless of whether or not they work.

I think it is interesting to note that Friedan herself (the mother of feminism, essentially) was a staunch Marxist.

What of 'social equality'? How will you achieve this 'social equality'? Are you going to ram this agenda down everyone's throat through government force, and social control?

According to webster online, the definition of fascism is:  "a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"

Of particularly important note is the section that reads "economic and social regimentation".  Keeping in mind that feminism demands both economic, and social equality of the sexes, this begs the question:  'how will you attain this 'social and economic equality'?  Through use of the government. 

Political equality is something women in the USA already have.    So what is the purpose behind the feminist movement?

In light of these considerations, I am not a 'feminist.'  I am in favor of equal rights under the law for all people, regardless of sex.  Is this 'feminism'? No.  Not feminism by definition, anyway.

Why the do you call it feminism then? Surely it makes sense to call your movement "gender-equality" instead of fucking around? Clearly you are a sexist. Also as a black disabled female immigrant from Chad with aids who has aborted 3 8 month old fetuses I fail to see what is wrong with culture, girls are doing better than boys in schools throughout the board, apart from big shot business, women by law must be paid the same and television is filled to the brim with white males getting kicked in the balls by women and white males always being figures of ridicule and the bad guys. Clearly if anything television gives an unrealistic view of white males. Possibly as a result of the reactionary idea that in order to balance thing we must heavy handedly discriminate against people who we perceive to have power. The only result of this is that white males who did not have a millionaire dad and were not given a position at college in favour of a superiorly qualified ethnic minority etc etc... get pushed down lower, whilst the actual racists and millionaires are unaffected and women and ethnic minorities are made to feel even more inferior and ridiculous as affirmative action doesn't solve their problems!

Stop being a feminist and start being pro-equal-gender-rights. Also if you REALLLLLYY think culture is sexist, start trying to ban segregated toilets and sports etc etc.. to prove you are not retarded.
