Actually I was quoting for an article, but yeah it meant...
Humanism is a better ideology then Feminism
Jesus Christ. Okay, yeah, we are animals, but it's called HUMANISM. It advocates for attaching importance to HUMAN rather than divine or supernatural matters. That's like creating a system that advocates for lion needs and calling it lionism, but saying it covers all other animals. We may domesticate animals, but to say humanism covers ALL animals? Nah. You want examples of a patriarchy? Wage gap[1], more than 80% of Congress is male[2], in 2013 more than 700 bills were proposed to regulate women bodies (0 were proposed to regulate the bodies of men)[3], a women has a 1 in 5 chance of being raped in her lifetime [4], victims of rape are often criticized for wearing the wrong clothes, ETC. There is something you have wrong here: feminism is for BOTH GENDERS. It's called feminism because in the beginning, women had like zero rights. You also say here that "feminists are lucky to have gained any ground in politics." Uh, the hard work of women to show the radical idea that women are people too is not luck. F*ck you for saying so. Actually I was quoting for an article, but yeah it meant the West. The reason the whole Man thing was included was to show that in Africa especially, it is the Men that have some liberty and women that suffers. w Feminism still does fight for equality but it recognizes women have the short end of the stick. Men, in general, are privileged in America but are still victims of sexism. I've hear it put like this: "When you shoot a gun, the recoil may hurt, but not as bad as the person taking the bullet." Also, Men's Rights Activists are literally ONLY for men but they are so much more legit? Yeah, sure. Makes total sense. This idea that feminists hate men is a stereotype that is completely untrue. What you are doing is taking the exception and making them the rule. I am a feminist, and obviously I don't hate men. Feminists hate sexism, but if you think that applies to men then I guess that says more about you than feminists. Here's a way of thinking about MRAs. Say, you get an ice cream cone of three scoops. Your friend only gets an ice cream cone of 1 scoop based on a completely arbitrary reason. Your friend complains, she gets one of your scoops so you both have two, and you start whining and crying because girls are so privileged. Here's an SNL skit about MRAs. http://www.hulu.com... Okay, let's turn this around then. If MRAs were REALLY for equality, then wouldn't feminists agree with them? That's what I call a double standard and a crippling misunderstanding of the issue. I didn't watch the video because I value having brain cells, but isn't it a possibility this woman was upset because her feminism is something she is passionate about? Let's be honest, in the time where Fox News is the one of the biggest news networks, acting rationally and calmly just doesn't get it done anymore. Yeah, I should have known you listened to the Amazing Atheist. He's an Internet atheist with a huge superiority complex and a high school dropout, right? Yeah, let's get our information and opinions from that guy. Going for equality despite gender (which isn't which genitalia you have, by the way), race, and sexual orientation sounds exactly like feminism. I have two videos by Laci Green about feminism: Sources: [1] http://www.huffingtonpost.com... [2] http://www.motherjones.com... [3] http://www.alternet.org... [4] http://www.huffingtonpost.com...
