Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Feminism exposed

Feminism, as I understand it, is about equality. Feminists are allegedly people, predominantly women, who believe men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. This looks good on the surface, that men and women should have equality. But that is not the full story:

If feminists believe in equality, why don't they call themselves equalists? Calling yourself a feminist is implying that you are only focused on women's rights. I've never had a feminist answer this question. If you believe in equality, you should call yourself an equalist, not a feminist. Mothers, in family courts, have more rights than fathers. Yet I've never seen feminists upset or troubled by this. It seems that feminists only focus on women's rights and not men's. So, why not call yourself an equalist?

I actually misread the title and was expecting to see boobs.

Sheshelob · 16/08/2013 14:16

Just the one boob here.

Mothers don't have more rights than fathers. Main carers have more rights than none main carers. Several of my friends are single fathers who have residency because they were the main carer.

I'm not a person, I'm a lizard.

AnyFucker · 16/08/2013 14:20

I can see a big tit

NomNomDePlum · 16/08/2013 14:25

as usual, anyfucker has covered everything.

I think you (we) are all wery wery cwool to poor ickle Oracle. It's the summer holidays and his Mummy has taken away his colouring book and crayons for being a naughty boy.

Boosterseat · 16/08/2013 14:28

Sorry, i couldn't resist

wordfactory · 16/08/2013 14:35

Oh equalist just sounds rubbish! And being a girly girl I can't do ugly.

Organic100 · 16/08/2013 14:38

Dam! I was hoping to come across some intelligent feminists this time. I guess they don't exist after all :(

Intelligent feminists reply intelligently to intelligent posters. Therefore you cannot expect to be answered.

Boosterseat · 16/08/2013 14:44

Organic Try nethuns.

Woodhead · 16/08/2013 14:47

Organic, there are 107 pages of discussion in FWR. This issue has been very sensibly discussed in the past. If you are interested then perhaps go to the last page and start reading backwards.

HungryGeorge · 16/08/2013 14:48

Sorry Organic, these people are beyond you.. by coming here you're like a lamb to the slaughter, posters on this board are articulate, intelligent women who won't be bullied.. exactly the type that you despise, right? they won't kowtow and worship you as you would like, do go back to your sycophants on fb, at least a few of them will still boost your ego.. not many now though I notice ;)

SinisterSal · 16/08/2013 14:48

You big eejit Organic

TheVermiciousKnid · 16/08/2013 14:48

There are many very intelligent discussions to be found on this board. Your original post and thread title are unlikely to elicit one though.

And I suspect you wouldn't recognise intelligence if it bit you on the bum.

ImNotBloody14 · 16/08/2013 14:57

feminists are a very intelligent type of fish normally found around the southern coast of Australia. they are a territorial fish and feast on those less intelligent fish that have delusions of having 'big balls' leading them to mistakenly think they can swim in a ring around the shoal of feminists. feminists also have a wicked sense of humour and have mastered the art of internet debate.

AnyFucker · 16/08/2013 14:59

Nah, I like just laughing at the tits

SerotoninCanEatTomorrow · 16/08/2013 15:05

There is a FB 'thing' behind all this is there?

HungryGeorge · 16/08/2013 15:09

Oh yes.. Mr Organic was quite the celeb on there for a while.. even had media coverage and his local mp involved.. I believe he even managed to cause a debate in Parliament. Unfortunately he wasn't able to disguise his true intentions and his campaign fell flat when certain things were revealed about him.

Certain "things" you say ?

HungryGeorge · 16/08/2013 15:18

haha yup AF.. very unsavoury things.. mysoginy is the least of his failings..

btw I'm not new, I'm a namechanger and this name is a clue to OP's identity :o

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 16/08/2013 15:23

"I've never had a feminist answer this question."

That's because they're too busy laughing at you, petal.

Those cat cakes were well good.
