Modern Feminism

REBUTTALS Con: Your argument saying that it's basically okay to want female superiority does in fact show that modern feminists are BAD! Nowhere do I say this. Con, feel free to quote me to prove this point. Con: 1. The wage gap is a myth created to divide us as a people. Yeah, no. A wage gap exists. CONSAD agrees [13]; the Bureau of Labor Statistics agrees [14]; the Joint Economic Committee agrees [15]; the Government Accountability Office agrees [16]. And really? Someone created it to divide people? In response, I'll argue that people who think the wage gap doesn't exist (such as Con) are all part of a gigantic international conspiracy to cause division over gender issues, and can't be trusted. Con: 2. The difference between Hillary and Sarah is that Hillary is a democrat and known for living off other peoples money and Sarah is a hard working republican. Rrrright. I'm gonna wait for the sources that prove Democrat = Bad and Republican = Good, and that Ms. Clinton is a moocher while Ms. Palin is not. Con: Modern And really? Someone created it to divide people?

Con: Modern feminism, once again, wants EVERYTHING handed to them. Real feminism wants a CHANCE (which they have equally) to be successful and want to earn everything they are given. Thank you. Con didn't bother addressing the ~20 quotes I brought up above, which show broad support from modern feminism behind the ideal of equality between men and women. In fact, Con has done no effort whatsoever to prove that modern feminism actually supports female supremacy. SUMMARY There's no reason to vote Con. Con has failed to show that modern feminism is for female supremacy. Con has no sources for any of their claims. Con uses incendiary rhetoric to appeal to emotion. Pro has shown beyond a doubt that modern feminism and "true" feminism share a goal of gender equality.
