If you are for equal rights, you are a feminist. If you are for the rights of women only, you are a feminist.

| Liliam, that's odd, since even the word "feminist" is showing female bias by only showing "fem" - which is obviously female |

What about individual based judgement instead of a bias towards a certain property?
Rights would be same, it's just that different kinds of people can be jerks. |

| Actually: Feminism is believing that females and males are equal. Misandry is believing females are better than males. Misogyny is believing males are better than females. |

"Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women."
That doesn't sound very equal. At all. |

equalists want gender equality
feminism wants gender equality feminism fights for womens rights within gender equality
so yeah you're correct
but that doesnt mean that its being sexist towards women |

| If equalist and feminist means the same thing (apparently), then why don't you just call yourself an equalist, because the name itself is much more equal than feminist? |

| I don't believe that, overall, in the first world, women do not have unequal rights compared to men when you look at the entire spectrum |

in the workplace (in some cases not all of them jesus christ how many people try to argue over this) men get paid more than women for the same job
women bosses aren't as common due to the fact that people don't believe they can hold a position of power
and laws limiting what i can do with my body

Middle eastern countries, women have fewer rights.
This is the only thing that they are allowed to wear

@xc6Alt
it should be legal everywhere in the world
especially when it comes down to united states
and yes i know some states have the "12 week rule" but that's not even fair game to even know by then |

As a logical person I actually advocate aborlol for women because of rights and such, but that doesn't make me a feminist
"especially when it comes down to united states "
Yeah well you've got old, white Christian men in Congress |

to me it does because you're advocating for womens rights
but it really depends on your definition of feminism and your other values, so i have no right to say
"Yeah well you've got old, white Christian men in Congress"
that's the problem lol |

But I'm not advocating them because they're for females specifically. To me, the gender is irrelevant |

but men can't get aborlols so its kinda a women's issue
but again i cant say you're a feminist because you believe one of the beliefs of feminism |
