This kind of thinking, which is based on thinking all of culture is sexist, has been in superbowl commercials. Remember the "play like a girl" ad? There's also one that says the word "bossy" has made women too discouraged to hold jobs as bosses. Why is that a women's issue, men get called bossy too. It just baffles me, the lack of double standard detection. Yes, your pet ideology is probably pretty nice, but it is irrelevant to the issue that I'm addressing, which you can't twist it and call it something else; it's called feminism.(December 3, 2015 at 7:43 pm)DespondentFishdeathMasochismo Wrote: Feminism claims to be a rights movement for everyone. Self proclaimed feminists have literally told me this before. That's what I've heard feminists say. It's annoying because there's no tenets of feminism, I don't even know why everyone seems to have their own definition of it.
Feminism doesn't claim to be anything - it's an idea, a movement, an all-encompassing word for the equal rights for women.
Feminists, interpret the meaning to suit their agenda, whatever that may be. The majority do want equal rights for the sexes, but since, in many ways, women are those who have been denied equal rights, the primary goal is to get those rights for women, after all, it's predominantly women leading the movement.
There are extremists in the group, who hate men. Those are a minority and not representative of the movement as a whole. They just happen to be the ones who get all the publicity.
