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.

The statistical effects of the equal rights laws will take decades to come into being. we can see the process beginning now. Most doctors are in their 30s and 40s and there are many non-white and/or female doctors, however in politics and big business you need decades of experience and a high level of education and most major positions are held by people in their 50s, 60s and 70s and women in their 50s, 60s and 70s were not afforded the same opportunities.

Margaret Thatcher is a good example, she was a brilliant leader, she toppled the soviet bloc saving god knows how many lives, freeing millions and ranks as high as Abe Lincoln, Washington and Churchill. The fact she was a woman in a high position proves that she was indeed there because she was a person of extraordinary intelligence, which fits in perfectly with my hypothesis and it should since my hypothesis was induced from the facts so it must be true.
