I wonder how many people are already worked up over my title who will refuse to read my post. This will be interesting.
I'll try to be brief as that many of you will get super angry and want to throw all kinds of fuss at me.
Feminism is a misnomer and a terrible on at that. Many "feminists" who take a purist viewpoint state that feminism is actually for everyone. They argue that fathers get as much say in the courtroom for custody battles and child support as women. Their biggest concern is equality in life and workplace more than anything else. I concur.
Feminism is a fancy, emotionally-driven word of "individual liberties." Under individual liberties, there are no special interests because everyone is entitled to equal shares of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You want to be an infantryman? If you can do the job, then go for it. You want to work in a daycare? Go for it. Doesn't matter who you are as long as you can do the job.
Radical Feminism is a bunch of BS. They think men are on this planet to pester women--as if men are a plague that need to be removed utterly and reserved for breeding purposes and manual labor. They think that hooking up at a bar between two consenting adults is somehow considered gRAPE if the woman doesn't like the man or there happens to be some kind of unwanted birth. They're all for calling men potential rappers just because they can.
What I'm getting at here is that we've strayed too far away from sensible rights and liberties understandings. You don't need the NAACP or feminism--you just to accept that anyone can try to do anything they want as long as they don't step on someone else's toes.
Think of it this way: cancer is bad, we all agree on it. However, cervical cancer affects many more women than cancer is WAY more deadly than cancer. Why do we see a lot of pink? There's money to be made, that's why. Feminism is a way to make money. If they were really focusing on a real answer to end senseless prejudices, then they would push for individual liberties as a cureall. Instead, we have organization after organization that support special interest "rights" instead of sweeping reform that affects us all.
At the end of the day, someone is making money off of feminism. Is it you? |

Everyone has equal rights in most countries, so people should really shut up about not being equal. For anyone that thinks otherwise, I dare you to prance around about your rights in a third world country. |

| I support human rights. I support equality. Sure, if there's bias against men in court, yeah we should be concerned about it. But know I'm not 100% opposed to feminism. There are good feminists like Malala Yousefzai. And then there are bad feminists like terfs and possy riot. So... I think a lot of feminists are really extremists... and that's not right. |

| I think modern western feminism is a waste of time, its plagued by radicals and idiots who want special rights, but at the same time countering it with a men's rights movement is just as stupid |

| Everyone should have the same rights, there shouldn't be extra rights just for some kinds of humans. |
