@DanceswithUtube To be feminist is to be anti society. To have a decent society people need to be against rape, violence, and degradation of BOTH men and women. Not a society where women are getting special treatment in their ivory towers for doing nothing. While men are suffering and people say they deserve it or that it just doesn't matter at all when men suffer because men have it so easy.

I still can't get my mind around why people hate feminism so much. To be anti feminist is to be anti woman, really. I mean, feminism is against the rape, violence and degradation of women... how can you be against those things unless you are FOR them?

In its most basic form, it's that no human being has any more inherent value or worth than any other. Men aren't intrinsically worth more than women (and vice versa).

[SuperModelVogue]

it's a very scattered ideology.

which tends to makes things difficult...

You'd have to pick up a few textbooks but obviously the main objective is for women to be treated equally - socially, politically, economically.

Serious question here; could someone explain to me what feminism is? I truly don't know what the core philosophy is today.

Jessica Valenti is awesome.

no one hates u for being a man ...and should women not talk about how they feel? its true its more prevalent that women are talked to badly on the street - i think women should definitely talk about this if it hurts them - this is what makes them stronger - so why is this a bother?

[inconsistanttruth]

Why do you hate me for being a man..

alot of girls from "girls gone wild" for example do it willingly, so i wonder if what you preach is what is the best for all or the best in your opinion?i dont agree with the over the top views of yourself,

and yet i dont like alot of the male rights group.

But what i can say is your both fighting against a non existent thing.one thing id like to say though is, you hate being harrased on the street for having boobs? how about men like me being harrased 4looks

[brebre1920]

men are simply company for us women and thats why they get so pissed when we talk back cause they understand this god given fact! hehe
