Are you a feminist?

<p>^Amen to that. </p>

<p>It should go without saying that women should have equal rights in every sense of the word because they are human. In this sense, modern day feminists scare the living daylights out of me. I’ve noticed all my english/humanities teachers are all extremely feminist, which is understandable because they’ve grown up in that era where women had no suffrage but for my generation, it is second nature in our minds that women should be equal and hence we don’t feel the need to taunt it everyday.</p>

<p>I believe that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men. That being said, I do believe that some women take feminism to an extreme.</p>

<p>btw: i am a heterosexual male.</p>

<p>In the sense of women having basic equality with men, then yes, same rights, same opportunities, same voting, etc. etc. </p>

<p>Basically they don’t have any more or any less rights then men do.</p>

<p>What would you say is extreme feminism?</p>

<p>^ Feminism that goes beyond providing women with rights into trying to forcefully reshape society to fit their idea of “equality”, ignoring the desires and abilities of people.</p>

<p>^^ I’m going to second MM and elaborate: </p>

<p>I hate that modern feminism absolutely does not want a woman in the house. If a woman wants to be a housewife or a stay-at-home mom, then she damn well has that right.</p>

<p>Hmm I guess I am not sure. I think I may be an extreme feminist, but I can’t tell what it means.</p>

<p>

^Would you be for or against this? If you are for it, I think we’ll have to put you down on the ‘extremist’ side.</p>

<p>^you realize that the SCUM manifesto is satire, right? or were you just being sarcastic?</p>

<p>You’d have to be crazy (not that Solanas sounds too sane) to encourage exterminating men (at least until scientists figure out a way to reproduce without them), so I think it’s safe to say I wasn’t being completely serious.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, this just happened</p>

<p>^It’s happened a couple of times recently. I have a theory that they were both up-ducted by aliens and reprogrammed to agree with each other.</p>

<p>save them clicky!!!111!!@@@!!@!</p>

<p>^^^crazy sh¡t right there</p>

<p>Oy vey. </p>

<p>MM and I only really disagree about politics. And even that it’s only a few key issues :rolleyes:</p>

<p>lol actually I’m as liberal as you are and I also agree with him on some things, so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised :b</p>

<p>damn yeah!
feminism forever!
