Proofs feminism =/= equality

I want to see the possible schitt storm coming.

I sincerly hope there wil be. If feminists are intellectually honest, they they can't find an intractable flaw in this argument, they should refrain from using the equality argument ever again. If they don't, then we can take from that their arguments are not based on rational argument but rather irrational emotion.

I just don't understand, WHY do people think feminism is pro-female and anti-male? The definition clearly states it is "the belief that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities."

The only fault with feminism is the name of the movement or belief sounds slightly biased, but if you can get over the fact that "elefant" is spelt "elephant", you can get over the name of the belief and analyse the fundamental thought process behind it........ "EQUALITY"

Who cares what it's called, the idea behind it is what counts....

And feminism contradicts this definition unless my proof is wrong. Engage with the thread.

Well, from your first post, your main argument is that 'ANALYSING AND STUDYING' gender inequality is not the same as believing in equality. Well, I must agree that nowadays the very definition is becoming more and more twisted, and any Jane and Anna is claiming to be a feminist without really knowing what it means. Despite this, theorising about gender inequality may not necessarily be contradictory to feminism, as, through the theorising, perhaps people are aiming to reach a conclusion about the problem and finding possible solutions. If you don't think about inequality and how to solve problems of inequality, how can call yourself a feminist?

I mean, I could just sit here and say "I'm a feminist" and then change the channel when I see yet another rape case on the telly. In the end we're all humans, and it's impossible for feminist to just say "we're feminists" but then ignore any evidence of gender inequality. Because feminists believe in the cause of equality so much, they end up theorising up about inequality to prevent it from occurring.

Please tell me that's what you meant, else, I'm gonna look like an idiot. I'm no sociologist, I'm just a 15 year old who think that feminists are seriously misunderstood people. I don't mean to be overly aggressive, it's just that, I have a lot of free time on my hands.

Well, not really, I'm supposed to be studying physics right now....

ha, seems to be a lot of these threads around nowadays....

You're young enough to be saved.

You are correct in your first paragraph noting that, no matter what you think of feminism, theorising about inequality is perfectly reasonable. Here is the crux of the point however; by theorising about gender inequality, feminism sets itself apart from inequality, because they're not exactly equal, because A does not equal B.

Here I'd point out that feminism, as an ideology that seeks to explain the world, really shouldn't want to be about equality. It should stand on its own too feet.

This is not related to the thread, but the problem with feminist theory is that it's bigoted, ascientific, ahistorical, aeconomic bias that demonises men in its incoherence.

If you're 15 years old then please, read anti feminist posts with open eyes, look at anti feminists such as girlwriteswhat on youtube, and understand we want equality too, but feminism is a barrier for both men and women to be treated fairly. You're young enough to be saved.

I thought feminism was about equal rights.

Men and women can never be equal. By definition we are different...

Saying pretentious **** like that really makes you sound sad and desperate.

not really, but good attempt at contributing to discussion. have a gold star.

Feminism / 0 = ?
