Are you feminist?

Post Reply New Topic

I'd say yes, but only barely, because while I think woman are overall more disadvantaged on average, men are also significantly disadvantaged in different ways.

I paused at "already equal" question, it largely depends on region, in large part of the Middle East, they are certainly not, so I scored Femenist, for elsewhere...not sure.

As for the pay, I personally not seeing females in my field are being paid less, also men still tend to go to more lucrative majors, like engineering and IT, and within the medical field men are more likely to go into harder fields like surgery. Some news titles claim that women get paid less for the same job but they often ignore other factors such as education level, work experience, worked hours...etc.


Also a MRA may score feminist on this chart too lol.

Is the meaning of Chauvinism different between USA and UK?




Why have the Feminists stopped using the word "Chauvinism?"



A woman might believe in patriarchy, but she'll never be a patriarch, unless she switches genders.

Hey AP your a feminist right?

Um, okay, sure. Why not?

No. There's the correct meaning of the word, and people using it incorrectly.

Because they'd prefer to incorrectly use the word "misogynist" instead, owing to the fact that they're ret*d and don't know how to use a dictionary. I wouldn't single them out on that, though: That's the majority of humanity.



Correct! There's hope for you yet. However, she could believe in patriarchy and be a matriarch instead.

Well, why do they prefer the word "misogynist" over the word "chauvinist?"

Retardation? Conflating belittlement with hatred? Lexical shifting? ...in descending order of stupid.

The term 'feminist' entails a lot more than just your general stance on gender. That's like saying that somebody is a communist because they support universal healthcare or saying that somebody is a catholic because they believe in a deity. People cam be skeptical of feminist theory and rhetoric without being a misogynist. I myself do not like to call myself a feminist because third wave feminism is embarrasingly inept these days and I don't want to associate with it. But if l must choose a label, I guess I'm a liberal feminist (a bit of a sex positive feminist as well).
