Modern Feminism (3rd/4th Wave) is Unnecessary as well as Unfair to Men.

Overplayed anti feminist prank: http://youtu.be... * Firstly, this debate is about feminism in the West. I thought that was obvious. I apologize. I understand, but...it took thousands of years for women to be seen as human beings. That can be erased in a heartbeat. Feminism in the West can go overboard. Some feminists are just plain nuts, but...it's the art of the deal, if you will. You reach for the most, hoping simply to achieve the best possible by doing so. Overzealous feminists may simply be a bulwark towards the majority view worldwide from overcoming the West by its abrasive attitude. Imagine if feminism was submissive. In the face of a reality that muted females for thousands of years, they must protect the fortress at all costs. Why? Women face issues that men in general do not. 1)Rape 2)Being overwhelmed by physical onslot. * As I generally agree with you, in Western principle, I can see that some fires risk being put out much more than other fires. Female rights is an unstable fire that could more easily be snuffed out than rebuilt. Women of planet Earth must have a safe haven or sanctuary to plausably be able to escape to somewhere on Earth. Where would nonwesterners get this education if it was not heavy in the West? Examples? The American Academy of Pediatrics recently put forward a proposal on female genital mutilation. They wanted for American doctors to be given permission to perform a ceremonial pinprick or “nick” on girls born into communities that practice female genital mutilation. Female circumcision is a custom in many African and Asian countries whereby the genitals of a girl child are cut. There are roughly four procedures. First there is the ritual pinprick. This is what Pediatrics refers to as the “nick” option. To give you an idea of what that means, visualize a preteen girl held down by adults. Her clitoris is tweaked so that the circumcizer can hold it between her forefinger and her thumb. Then she takes a needle and pierces it using enough force for it to go into the peak of the clitoris. As soon as it bleeds, the parents and others attending the ceremony cheer, the girl is comforted and the celebrations follow. Ayaan Hirsi Ali interview (Video reference) http://youtu.be... For many secular Muslims and former Muslims, the hijab is not a symbol of freedom. It is a symbol of the fact that women in Islam are second class citizens and that this status is encoded in both sacred text and tradition, enforced by culture and law. The hijab lies at one end of with the burka, a portable fabric wall that prevents women from engaging fully with the world, and vice versa. It is a reminder that for millennia women have been chattel. http://m.huffpost.com...

Female genital mutilation is on the Rise in the U.S.- More than half a million women and girls in the U.S. are estimated to be affected or at risk of FGM, according to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), a nonprofit organization that released statistics on FGM earlier this year. The number of those at risk has more than doubled in roughly the past decade, according to the PRB. Officials from various organizations say the main reasons include population growth, and the fact that more families are immigrating to America, and bringing their practices with them. http://abcnews.go.com... Muslims have sued in U.S. courts so Muslim women be able to wear burkas to work. The burka is the Islamic covering that covers the woman from head to toe, even covering the face other than the eyes. http://www.breitbart.com... So what's the big deal? Imagine someone commits a crime wearing a burka. The cops ask you what the person who commited the crime looked like. You don't know because you couldn't see them. Imagine an incident happens at work, but no co-employees know what she even looks like despite working with her 5 years. Imagine being a woman who came to America desperately yearning for freedom, but your family and husband make you cover up, and you silently hate it. The government and law enforcment must make it a priority to seperate church and state. In this instance, the law has given the woman her first individual identity through the law. That law would be empowered by Western feminism. Do I promote overzealous progressive feminism? No. But it may be an irritating bulwark to something worse.
