Guest is a feminist. Not hard to solve that riddle it's probably a frequent user of this site. And has a real user tag just no guts to post her message so we can identify her it's typical of a Democrat
As a woman myself, I completely and utterly agree with her. Women should be celebrated because they're different from men, and vice versa! Equality and sameness are two different things, and a lot of feminists forget that and don't understand what it is they're aiming for.
"alot of feminists" refers to the hundreds of thousands of loudmouthed feminists you can easily find online that supports the original guest's claims. Now fuck off, dumb cunt.
Yes, I agree, but that doesn't mean that people should be given less opportunity in the workplace or education because they are a man/woman and woman's bodies in places such as Saudi Arabia should be disrespected - that's what I feel feminism should be about
Yes we need equality in terms of rights and opportunity, but there are people out there who say shit like 'im not gonna breastfeed my son because he'll otherwise grow up to be bigger and stronger than his sister, which is unfair,' and shit like that.
This is incredibly stupid.
Feminism does not work like that
The point or feninism is "let everyone be whatever they want, from an astronaut to a housewife, regardless or their gender, race, sexuality or religion"
This is only misleading and is written by someone who hasn't bothered to check out what criticises
Celia, she's just responding to "new wave feminism", she says it several times. Your definition of feminism is the correct and traditional one, but Katie is just responding to the loud and obnoxious feminists that are ruining the definition by claiming that women are better than men, and that embracing your femininity is shameful.
That's a small amount of people and sincerely, throwing away a whole great ideology just because something that it's not inherently on it doesn't help anyone
The perception and representation of "new" or "third wave feminism" is full of straw man fallacies, made up by people who feel their privileges are threatened already by 1st wave feminists. "Women can drive a car, can show their hair and are not sold for a dozen goats? So apparently all is fine, and now shut up bitch and make me a sandwich.". 1st and 2nd wave feminism have reached quite a lot regarding the general conditions, the things that can be comparably easy regulated by laws. 3rd wave feminism is about details and more complex matters. 3rd or "new" wave feminism is NOT a bunch of shrill man-hating feminazis trying to neuter all men and give exclusive power to women. And they are definitely not trying to put down their foot on women who enjoy being women. So this "Katie" either doesn't know jack shit about feminism or she's a troll putting up a straw man. Not that uncommon theses days.
K but also: feminism for women's fundamental human rights to an education? Or protection in third/developing world countries.
The radical "treated equally as men" bs is just one aspect of feminism. It wasn't completely necessary for the responder to point out in her comment, but it is necessary to know and identify that feminism isn't just a first world "problem"

Either that or "because it's cancer"
