Was feminism made for the benefit of white women

Finally a women who agrees!
Trust me feminism was definitely made to benefit white women.100%
Even after today where women do have total women's rights they are still banging on about it like its a big deal. Nowadays feminists just complain that other women are lazy and don't try for STEM degrees or try and make it into professional sports.
Selfish- there are women on the other side of the world such as Africa, South East Asia and the Middle East, where they have no rights, let alone equal rights. Maybe feminists need to change their ideas, and try to help those underprivileged women. Here women can drive at ease, but if we look at a country like Saudi Arabia, completely different story. Yes they are allowed to drive, but are looked down upon and are abused. All these feminists with too much free time on their hands should be focusing and helping out the people who cannot speak up for themselves over there. Not making things up like 'the reason women don't play sports or have STEM careers is because men oppress them'

Not really. But you really don't what I'm getting at though, do you?
You have more interest in arguing.

That was her point, wasn't it though. She basically said that white women endorse feminism for them, and you said her point was validated because of what I said.

Feminism is supposed to be equal rights for all women. It shouldnt be the case that feminism only protects women in the west because that means that some women are more important than others. Which goes against what they're fighting for.

Either way it is a movement full of contradictions.

I'm not interested in arguing. I am actually on your side somewhat. It's silly that she thinks feminists should somehow encourage women to be bin cleaners and I think shouty "anti-feminists" are worse. But surely even you would agree that feminism should focus a lot more on helping women who genuinely don't have any rights in some parts of this world.

No, I said her point was validated because you couldn't provide rebuttal to any of her points and resorted to condescension.

You believe Western feminists are racists then?

Lets pretend feminists in the West did care about the plight of women in non-Western countries, what could they do to help them?

Apart from dye their hair blue,obviously.

Of course you're not.

Obviously, but moaning about 'white women' who aren't the only people that identify as feminists btw, is a bit silly.

Nah, it's because you thought I was white because of the avatar, but if you say so.

I'm not sure about that but I think the concept of marriage was created for the benefit of the woman. If you look at it from a purely evolutionary point of view, what does the man have to gain from the marriage? He can happily go about his business with other women, transferring his genes. The woman gains through financial stability and a place for her to live, feel safe and raise kids. I know I will get feminists chastising me for making this post but I think they should agree with me, being the free independent women that they are, and say that the institution of marriage is not as necessary like I say. I am not sure people will see it this way although I don't mean to offend anyone In anyway, it's just a curious observation is all.

Yeah, I get the whole intersectional feminism thing. It's just there's this idea that some modern feminist movements are driven by a sense of white supremacy and self interest. Plus most western feminists are white.

Lol I recognise her, she's that girl from we're the millers isnt she haha

Aww, you're a girl.

Your opinions must be more plausible then.

dear god.

I don't see feminist caring about the wellbeing of women and girls in third world countries where they live in danger and poverty on a daily basis. Instead, we see white women the most prevlidged group of people in the west looking out for their own self interest I.e constantly demanding pay increases when actually if they were really good at what they do then no one will say no to a pay increase.

Then they moan about not being represented in lucrative STEM fields when no one is stopping girls from pursuing STEM subjects like Electrical engineering and chemical engineering. There are not that many girls working as bin women, miners, sewage worker why can't feminists demand that there are equal reprentation on those fields??? PS I'm a girl BTW!

I'd rather my child had cancer than modern day feminism

No-one ever makes this complaint about other campaign groups. No-one thinks it hypocritical that UK-based anti-homlessness groups focus most of their attention on homelessness in the UK rather than homelessness in say, Bangladesh, despite the fact that it's a more severe problem in Bangladesh. No-one asks why the NSPCC aren't putting their resources into protecting children in Iran. It's only feminist activists that are constantly criticised for placing a greater focus on their own country's domestic issues as if that's somehow an odd thing for activists to do.
