Feminism is based upon female entitlement to male achievements.
I welcome the challenge of engaging a proponent of Feminism who is based in the United States of America, familiar with its laws and culture, and willing to pursue this topic dispassionately. Rules of Engagement: 1. Argumentation ethics apply. 2. Semantics shall not apply. 3. Anecdotal evidence shall be considered irrelevant. 4. Sources must be cited following assertions with notation and the URL provided to bottom of round. 5. Quotations shall be considered irrelevant. 6. Round 1 is acceptance. 7. No new arguments shall be presented in Round 5. Definitions: * These definitions are chosen from different sources in an attempt to avoid redundancy within definition (e.g. "entitlement - a state of entitling" etc.). Feminism - a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women. [1] based - a fundamental principle or groundwork; foundation; basis. [2] female - a person bearing two X chromosomes in the cell nuclei and normally having a vagina, a uterus and ovaries, and developing at puberty a relatively rounded body and enlarged breasts, and a beardless face; a girl or woman. [3] entitlement - a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation. A "right" is itself an entitlement associated with a moral or social principle, such that an "entitlement" is a provision made in accordance with legal framework of a society. Typically, entitlements are laws based on concepts of principle ("rights") which are themselves based in concepts of social equality or enfranchisement. [4] male - a person bearing an X and Y chromosome pair in the cell nuclei and normally having a penis, scrotum, and testicles, and developing hair on the face at adolescence; a boy or man. [5] achievements - something that has been accomplished esp by hard work, ability, or heroism. [6] Improper Form: Any of the following mischaracterizations will be seen as concession of the debate (i.e. one warning may be given, whereas the second results in consession to the opposition) - 1) Superiority/inferiority of genders based upon opinion rather than objective, biological attributes. 2) Broad cultural depictions of male as "rapist," female as "victim."
