I tend to not like women who happen to be feminist. I already know their mission stems from being an outcast as children so now as adults they want to have a "
purpose" and they basically seem to
enjoy being rebellious mavericks in the name of equality
First off: There's nothing wrong with wanting equitable hiring practices and equal pay; affirmative action and Equal Opportunity Employment was created with single women in mind anyhow, originally. But if people want
certain rights exclusively for women that
negates the same equality they shout for, no?
And on a different note, when women get their own category in a certain discipline (women's athletics for example; women having their own category for awards in media) it continues the myth that women cannot perform alongside men, so "let's give them their own section."
Certain kinds of feminism will also increase lesbianism and single parenthood
. Flappers in the 1920's wanted to work (sounded like a good idea...) but only to escape various types of domestic abuse from their upperhanded husbands and the beeline to prostitution or destitution if something happens to their breadwinning husband. But that was like the 1800's
Flappers also got carried away and wanted to be able to drink and dance to jazz all times of the night and run wild in the streets as young or married women
. Women leaders in general wanted education, and that's probably the only thing that made sense.
If some women hadn't fought for rights, I wouldn't be able to do half the things I do now but none of those things are necessary anyway, just frivolous pleasures
. Why revolt against society just for frivolous pleasures? As far as equal pay on the job, women normally don't get paid as much as men when you look at a rough chart, but the overlooked details is that they're normally for different jobs
. Men and women commonly do not work the same jobs. Now let's remember 90's babies' and even 80's babies' parents are from troubled times, the 70s and decades before, so equality is really still oiling its wheels anyway. Feminists are just annoying.
In the East where women are-granted-treated like dirt, we shouldn't be having a conversation for them on TSR, because we are not in the East
Their issues are deep rooted in the curry of Islam.
It's not our conversation to have

If you
really want to "support" women, shut up and bite the bullet and do your best work in your field of competence
; you could even
"subvert the patriarchy," if that's their mission. If you're a woman working in seclusion with only or mostly women all "Girl Power" segregated from men for example or working in a field that is designated for women exclusively, how are you making a difference? Wonder why no one cares about women's sports, for starters?
In all,
no one should be deprived of professional or proper education, a standard, decent life, health care and equal pay. But back to title of OP, yes women are equal in general and I agree feminism is so long
