My view on feminism is that men and women should be equal in terms of power. I'm not a feminist, per se. I believe all people should have equal power and rights.

I'm pro-abortion simply because I can't carry a baby to term, yet I can create one. A woman can carry a baby to term, but only at great risk to her body. Women should have the same right to determine their bodies as I do. I'm also pro-abortion because our species is a cancer on the earth.

Parenti is just one more of those vapid intellectuals who earn tons of money by going on and on about class warfare and class privilege.

Lenin referred to his kind as "useful idiots."

[SUpersaiyajinjerkbag]

Yeah, my opinion on Parenti just went down

And Emma Goldman wouldn't really be a feminist by today's standards. Hell, she wasn't that feminist by the standards of her time.

People who take feminism seriously haven't the slightest clue how wasteful american society is and how american women are not innocent victims of this

What do women want ? Everything . Go ahead and test it for yourself . Give them everything they want and watch what happens . They certainly won't stop asking for more because a) women love to complain , b) women have no sense of the greater good and c) women are inherently selfish creatures . They're also neurotic and especially so for a few days each month .

Women are incapable of understanding what a society is except for when they think about what they want from it .

People don't need to think like Freud or Schopenhauer anymore, men and women are more alike than they are different. We think more similarly than we realise. Our desires and motivations are the same. Patriarchy(and similar social systems) places these blocks on us, they are not natural or rational. Systems that entitle one group above others will be the doom of humankind, there is no doubt.

[Doggieman1111]

I agree with most of this. I think feminism benefits men, so that's why I'm for it.

I have no problem with women. Laws define what the world looks like, not men or women. I have problem with the ones that make the laws.

Women need to  stop fucking blaming men.
