This whole 'equality' and 'mens rights' as it’s never about wanting anything other than to silence and talk over women. Let's combat this misogyny shall we...
"I think the main reason behind that is that women want to have children and a family life.’"
- As well as assuming all women want children, you also make the horrible assumption that all women can have children. This suggests that if she cannot have children, she is worthless. She's basically just ignored transwomen and unfirtile women. The fact that she even says this means she does not know what actual feminism is.
"The problem I think we’ve got is that fewer women are interested in politics: look at the percentage of female MPs, or female members of other political parties."
-Or maybe it's because female politicians are extremely sexualised to the point that their job isn't mentioned and instead a label (eg. Blair's Babes, Cameron's Cuties to name a few) is slapped on to them, lowering them below men of similar professions? Imagine studying at uni and spending so much money on education to come out and be called a 'cutie' or a 'babe'? A lot of women see this.
"‘If you look at someone like Theresa May, she’s a really well-established politician. I just think women aren’t as interested as sad as that is.’"
- But look at the absolute BULL that Theresa May has to put up with! Just look at any news article about her to see an example of what women in politics has to put up with.
Feminism, at its very core, is a liberation ideology that intimately engages with the harmfulness of masculinity/femininity as traits coerced upon children, teens and adults, how gendered injustices come into fruition through social, academic, economical and labor institutions and how we can create a world which upheaves patriarchy as a global phenomenon. The fact that equality (more clearly understood as assimilation) and a society in which women exploit men are the two only foreseeable options to you is troubling, to say the least and sounds like an iteration of patriarchy itself (either you join or you’re against us).
Finally feminism is not about women being better than men nor is it about being equal to men. Feminism is about women being liberated from men. I have no desire to be considered “equal” to the system of power that allows men to abuse, murder, and rape us. I want liberation from patriarchy and men.
Equality is the goal, not the method.
