Ask an Anti-Feminist!

[TheMessiah]

...

an egalitarian and a feminist is pretty much two difference labels for the same thing

Yes, exactly.

Here is the definition of "feminism" from the most respected dictionary of English:

"The advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes."

This is exactly why Feminism is not Egalitarianism. Feminism is based on the premise that women are less equal than men, and thus, furthering the rights of women = equality.

Egalitarianism is based on equality and is gender neutral. It advocates both men and women rights, if Feminism was about equality, then why does the definition say ''women's rights'' and not both men and women?

I read this somewhere else and I don't remember who said it so forgive me for the plagiarism.

There are two simple questions that will tell you if you are a feminist.
1) Do you believe that all people should have equal rights, liberties and freedoms?
2) Do you believe that women are people?

If you answer yes to both questions, then you are a feminist.

Yes to both, but I can't call myself a Feminist.
