The Importance of Feminism (re: The Problems with Feminism)

I am making a video response to the video called the problem with feminism.
I am a feminist and I believe women are not better than men, women are equal to men, but women are also different than men. Affirmation action and discrimination is not always wrong, the American liberal notion that people should only thought of as individuals is incorrect , people are also member of a particular group and that's why affirmative action and equal outcome is important.

Feminism today is about women wanting special treatment rather than equal rights.They think that doing everything like a man and acting like a man should make them equal so no,feminism is not about resenting the idea that women are different.Feminist form about 50 years ago were actually ok but these crazy,nut jobs are more like neo-feminist

Do you mean to blame every single male that had lived in america? You realise men only got their rights a few years before women? And yes most men are in positions of power this isn't a sign of oppression, It's a sign of the most competitive living creatures on the planet.. = men. Instead of screeching oppression when men are in power of the courts government and media look inward at the millions of women who would rather raise a child then get a career. And whats wrong with that?

@pinaypk {Feminism means equality for both genders...read the dictionary's definition.}

And if you don't read the rap on the back of your shampoo bottle, it won't make your hair shiny and luxurious as you want it to be either.

@clm131313 {The women fighting for your ass overseas right now while you sit your fat ass on your computer?}

Haha, do you even DO logic? Men have been fighting for YOUR FAT ASS for thousands of years! And now a handful are fighting so you are redeemed and to be thanked?

Good God, you are a perfect example of the distortions feminism causes. Keep up the good work!

@clm131313 { You really think everything was invented by men?}

"annually granted U.S. origin patents (by women) rose from 2.6 percent in 1977 to 10.3 percent in 1998"

So the answer is ... "Yea, basically". Now, what do you think a study of the quality/ingenuity of these patents would reveal?

{I bet you also think everything was invented by white people}

Again, the answer is "pretty much" -- I know that makes you sad, but do us all a favor and try to be grown up about it.

@patsybob {How many women today will suffer sexual harassment }

Men are in a constant state of sexual harassment by women. Can you imagine the opposite, where 'true love' is dangled in front of women every moment and then we laugh at them because, after all 'they want it', 'they cant control themselves'.

Im all for feminism I just believe feminist need to remmber the difference between special interest and equality.

Like divorce your acting in your special interest when feminist support alimony and childsupport which is not equal.

Same goes for advocating for rights that are above the rights of others. Everyone should have the same rights. Which is ok for feminist fight for equal rights. Anything that is above equal is not ok.

NO NO NO IT' ALL ABOUT SUPERIORITY, AND DISCRIMINATION, AND ALL YOU WOMEN SAY NO NO THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS.

The problem with feminism is it "controls masculinity" and that is wrong. By holding masculinity back and advancing femininity up, we have created a society filled with a bunch of girly-boys that are very passive and want a girlfriend that can out-fight them and lift more weights than them. WTF is wrong with this picture?! Women have become the men of the past and men the women of the past. I blame feminism because feminism created this emasculated and sissy-boy world that we're seeing today.

I don't really know what to say

[patsybob]

Feminism is important. How many women today will suffer sexual harassment by verbal or physical means? How many men have unhealthy relationships with women because of gender stereotyping . Why is the media portraying women as purely defined through sexuality, how does that affect women's self-esteem and male ideals when it comes to a relationship? Why arent women getting into higher-payed jobs like men, is it gender-stereotyping?

I would have been interested in hearing this response, but holding the mic that close to your mouth makes you very hard to understand.
