Feminism is a word that means equal rights for women. Technically, most feminists should actually be called humanists. I'll ignore that since it was, and to some extent still is an important movement. Way back in the day, life was pretty damn bad for women everywhere. No vote, no driving, you know about that stuff anyway. Eventually, much of the inequality dissappeared, thanks to the hard
wark of early feminism. Sadly some still persist to this day. Fortunately, most people accept that such social changes are bound to be gradual, and eventually, true equality will exist. This is the type of world that everyone should strive to live in, not just feminists. But alas, in more recent times, there has been a growing movement of "
militant feminism". This is alternatively known as female chauvenism, and
feminazism. These people often demand MORE rights than men have, usually by arguing that they are superior to men and blame men for everything.
Yes men started wars. Are you saying that women wouldn't have? Hilary Clinton supported the Iraq war.
Margeret Thatcher sent troops to the
Falklands. To propagate such a view on men is a sexist view you chauvenist
pig-bitch. Such a view is not part of feminism, or at least it's original usage of the word. These people are betraying the women who fought for their rights. Possibly the worst part about them is that they are either the prevalent female authors and commenters for feminism on urban dictionary, or that these women are denying the existence female sexism that has taken seed among the
femism movement. I've talked to these people. In real life. Not on the net. They DO exist.
Example:
Feminist of the militant variety(Yes, she actually said this):"It's not fair to
generalise women, men allways do that" and "men shouldn't have any say in abortion"
Me:"I'd say
TITS OR GTFO, but you're pretty damn fuck-fugly)
Feminism gets a bad name because of these
asshats
