How do you define feminism?

That's a great question... It varies from questioner, to questioner, and answerer to answerer... Just take a look at the ones that calls them hairy lesbian Nazi man-haters...yet, other think you're a "feminist" if a man pays for the date...

Others think if you're working, and living on your own income, you're a feminist...yet, others still think that if you're living on your husband's income you're a parasitic feminist...

I define feminism as the illogical pursuit by some women to prove that they are something that they are not.

This is not to say that I approve of the victimisation of women; I certainly do not. But the women I know who are the most fulfilled and are the most interesting have always been those who are comfortable being women and have no wish to have a penis. A female friend once told me that, with what she had, she could get as many penises as she wanted.

I am 70 and still make an effort to show courtesy to all women. If that offends a feminist, then she should just shut up and take it like a man.

I define feminism by what it does, and judging by what it does feminism is a movement that seeks superior rights and privileges for women while hiding under the guise of "equality"

Feminists tend to claim that their movement is about "equality" and often use the dictionary definition as proof. But the thing is that what the dictionary says and what feminism does are two completely different things. Actions speak louder than words, therefore feminism should be judged by what it does instead of by what the book says. And through its actions the feminist movement has constantly shows that it isn't about equality, but is actually about putting women above men and misandry - skewed the system in women's favor, seeking superior rights & privileges for women, demonizing men & boys etc.. It is very obvious that "equality" is nothing more than a mask that the feminist movement use to conceal its anti-male agendas.

am sure like every movement there are those who benefit from it and would defend it violently if necessary. but as a man, i feel that feminism is an extremist movement which targets male members of society. the female members of societies in which feminist movements are powerful in live at the expense of men. its the men in that society that are removed from decent jobs by force. if the equality of men and woman were true, then i think it makes sense for woman to find opportunities for themselves rather than taking over institutions and positions already occupied by men. in every sense feminism does not care about the equality of man and woman. it only reverses their role in the society, sometimes by the force of law. e.g. they are trying to pass laws in which a certain number of jobs are reserved for woman. even if they do not want it. it is a ridiculous idea, especially since it divides the sexes. equality is an impossible thing to achieve since all humans are selfish. the idea that man are cruel and are responsible for all the wars is a myth. there were Australasian tribes with female rulers who engaged in countless wars throughout their rule. men over the course of history have endured as much cruelty and suffering from nature as woman if not more. feminism is not very different from Nazism; in the sense that you have to be white to have a place in the Nazi party, you have to be a woman to have a place in their organizations. finally, how is feminism a movement for equality when at the heart of the ideology lays a desire to favor woman over men? that is not equality at all. if you want equality you have to allow woman to fail as well. not protect them from failure and double their reward when they succeed.

the feminist movement started to grow in the 60s.it was an attempt to liberate women from the social stereo types that had defined there roles to that point.they were limited to being house wives and responsible for the the domestic needs of the family.these would include such things as keeping the house in order,washing the clothes and dishes,as well as doing the bulk of the house cleaning and and preparing meals and doing the shopping.if they were to work,their choices were mostly limited to being teachers,nurses,and secretaries.feminism was to break these boundaries,and allow them to expand their options.the choice of pursuing a career other than the previous choices as well as not to marry.in other words to be on a level playing field as men,with the same choices.it is clearly a civil rights choice.and it is only natural that this be embraced as all people live as they chose,of free will. predigigests..

Since women are not/never been a minority as other repressed groups were through history

Feminism doesn't want women to form a separate group but wants them to be aware of their lost rights and promotes their right to have them

Some argue why feminism isn't humanism but if it was then how would people know who is in need of justice knowing that in life there is always a strong and a weak person, a rich and a poor...etc

I agree with GENUINE equal rights for all *- and I judge movements by their actions and not their words - and the sophists (bows to cherie) can argue the meaning of 'equal' and other words until the cows come home - but the FACTS remain that feminism is an evil disease that effectively helps no-one - and in fact holds everyone back.

In this country:-

> we have had thirty years of bashing men down to 'equalise' women under the active discrimination of EEO (as defined here), when it would have all been settled long ago by simply treating everyone equally from Day One**;

>twenty-six years of a falsified education system that was falsified deliberately to FAVOUR girls in 1986 when all that needed to be done was to leave the system itself alone and simply allow people to CHOOSE their own courses;

> twenty plus years of savagely ripping men's lives and hearts apart in the 'family courts', over divorce and so forth.

> Thirty years of ripping apart genuine rights, legal, constitutional and moral, to replace them with unearned privilege handed to girls/women to 'equalise' them.

>and twenty years of direct man bashing in every way, including physically***, under the totally false regime of our 'domestic violence' laws which are more and more discredited every day, and which have caused fearful damage in our society.

On top of that we have seen a savage decline in the living standard for all except the very well-heeled - and a massive stratification and polarisation of our 'egalitarian' society into an increasing range of 'classes' - primary the 'haves'; the 'have-nots', and the massively increasing class of the 'never-will haves'.****

If you cannot yet see where this country, and yours, is headed under this ridiculous ideology and the blatant abuse associated with it - you are simply not awake.

* It deeply injures my social soul to even have to add the term GENUINE there - wtf is wrong with your people?

** We see one result here of AA/EEO - Custom and Border Protection personnel - who under AA/EEO are now savagely drawn from women (real men don't get a chance or a look-in) and ethnic groups to satisfy this socialist nightmare - are being investigated for importing massive quantities of drugs and being allied with ethnic crime syndicates. LMAO!!!

*** For those who are unaware, there has been in place a deliberately ordered campaign against men here since 1992 by our police and our courts to attack men at any time in order to criminalise and thus disempower them. This in a country touted as a good, democratic one, and supposedly run on the basis of fair play. Part of that campaign has been to deliberately attack men at any time of day or night and 'fit them up' without rhyme or reason purely to criminalise and disempower them.

****On national television last night we had the bizarre spectacle of yet another witch hunt for 'dole bludgers' - social security recipients who, in the eyes of some, are getting something for nothing. One guy who had not worked for ten years considered others 'dole bludgers', there was the usual conga line of people saying 'They're just lazy" while offering no jobs etc, and even the Labor (LMAO) 'Minister' for Human Resources quoting on National television that "100,000 have had their payments stripped from them" (Oh? And what are they living on now? Receipts of crime since they have no other choice?).....!

Feminism is a butch lesbian supremacist hate cult. I agree with feminism about as much as I agree with the butch gay version of feminism, Nazism, which is to say I am vehemently against it.

Gender, masculine.

Sex, male.
