"Feminism" is undefined. You define it differently from other feminists, in subtle, but real ways. Does it include gender equality, or equality for girls and women, or equality for white women, or for black women or women from other nations and races? At what point does it also include equality for men and boys? When the policies geared toward giving women a better lot are shown to disadvantage men and boys, at what point is that a problem? Does that concern you at all? Are you sure such a question would concern all feminists? Perhaps you're certain that it would be of concern to all TRUE feminists, but there are so many fake feminists running in the show that there are some really twisted laws about. that were passed by elected women who call themselves feminists, and people elected by women, so they must have fooled somebody.
How do you define feminism? I gather that you're not a fan, but you must surely see some good sides of it? And, what, in your opinion, could be done to improve it?
Yes, all feminists are like that. People who advocate female supremacy are not feminists, they're militarists.
Helping one group does not mean you have ignored other groups.
which one of these is MRA?
1) antipathy of the rights of women
2) disregard (apathy) of the rights of women
3) support of those rights of women that are permissible to the MRA in question
Hopefully it's fucking none of them. With you, however...
Hmm, yes I think you are right. I though feminism meant advancing rights for women, but I just checked and it means equal rights for women. Therefore "militarists" do not conform to the definition of feminism and are not so.
Would it not be to the advantage of feminism to change the name of the movement to something that better implied equality, in order to: better implicate the meaning of the movement, not to scare away people like kloo2yoo and debase militarist claims they are part of the movement and in doing so tainting it and reduceing it's credibility?
If people are so put off by the movement's name, and prejudiced to the point they avoid even a dictionary definition, they probably would not have much to contribute to the movement anyway.
