Let's cut the PC bullshit. Women have had 150,000 years to prove they are "equal" to men. Name one civilization created by women? Seriously, just try.

Feminism is a bankrupt ideology based on the premise that women should be superior because they have a vagina.

all these woman need to be slapped in the face .. and return to the kitchen ,, ok

@MensRightsVideos No, feminism has nothing to do with a belief in female superiority. You are trying to mask the entire movement behind a small subsection of feminist ideology that disappeared before the 70s ended.

Modern feminism is about equal opportunity. It's about being able to build a future for yourself that doesn't take your sex into account in determining your options.

And men have never created a civilization. Civilization necessarily requires both sexes working together.

@MensRightsVideos Yeah except for the fact that they were oppressed for those 150,000 years. Laws put into place to deny women any rights whatsoever. Societal rules placed on women to keep them down. Then religious pressure along with the other two and you have a molitav cocktail for oppression. Here is how it worked-Convince her she will go to hell for disobeying. Intergrate that into society making men feel superior. Put laws into place to enforce it and bam you got it!!

@Madsenband88 This era eventually dissipated once women who allowed to vote in parlimentary elections but women were still denied equality like equal pay and education opportunities. 2nd wave of feminism is this movement which concentrated of womens' freedom of sexuality, more education/career options and equal pay. 3rd wave feminism is happening now as views on this issue change with the changing of the generations. Each wave has been a development on the one before it.

@TheSmurf1973 fair point but I think you've just explained the reasons why governments eventually got on the band wagon because they saw those opportunities for tax.

But this movement was bound to happen because the first wave of feminism came about after the french and american revolutions, climaxing in the birth of the militant suffragette movement i.e Emmeline Pankhurst and Emily Davison who threw herself under a racing horse for the cause (early 1900's).
