    Is feminism necessary.

    First off I"d like to say thank you for accepting my debate challenge, much thanks. To start off with my argument you put the definition of feminism as "The advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes". Now let me show you the definition of another group of people looking for equality. "A political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs." now guess what this is defining. Thats right Communism. Its sounds good on paper but that's not what they do. They oppress and murder anyone who doesn"t agree with them. The same thing is happening with Feminism. In the 19th and early 20th century feminism focused on It focused on legal issues, primarily on gaining women's suffrage. Second wave feminism in the early 1960s focused on sexuality, family, the workplace, reproductive rights, de facto inequalities, and official legal inequalities. Third and fourth wave focused on stereotypes and media portrayals of women. Fast forward to 2015 we have all those things(we might be still working on the fourth wave but that's almost over). Women have equal rights and actualy I say they have more than men. Women are more privileged than man so the fact that modern day Feminism still exist comes off as a joke because it is. Here are links to why women are more privileged: 1:https://mensresistance.wordpress.com... 2:https://www.reddit.com... 3:http://amptoons.com... For round 2-4 well debate and for round 5 we'll say our closing statements and why we think we were right just so you know
