    Feminism is not an ideology of equality

    "The problem with that definition, and the philosophy it describes, presupposes that men have superior rights than women in every single case." The definition presupposes no such thing! It merely states that feminism is a philosophy of equality between genders. There are cases where women get more rights than men, and vice versa, but this is not actual feminism. You have not provided any of your own definitions, so I had the burden of providing them. I provided them, from a dictionary, and you have provided none. "That's not true. Men are not treated anywhere near fairly when it comes to child custody and child support cases [1]. Women are sentenced to 40% less prison time than men, for equivalent crimes, and more likely to avoid conviction altogether [2]. Prostate cancer, despite having a more-or-less equal rate of mortality and severity, recieves drastically less funding than breast cancer [3]." I never said that women were treated worse than men in today's society. There are double standards on both sides, and the aim of GENUINE I never said that women were treated worse than men in today's society. There are double standards on both sides, and the aim of GENUINE feminism is to get rid of both. By definition, any movement which does not demand equality between men and women is not feminist. "The term 'equality for women' is a contradiction in and of itself." Nonsense! It simply means getting rid of gender-related double standards. Not implementing them on one side, but eliminating them altogether.
