Why on earth would any girl (or guy for that matter) not want to be a feminist? What the hell? Feminism is necessary and it's for everyone.
Out of curiosity, why do you think you need feminism?
I am also curious about this. As far as I can see our rights are equal and we have equal chances. I've never really understood why we need feminism if no injustice is faced.
That is pretty much where I am coming from. The point of all civil rights movements has been equal rights. I actually find such movements that exist past their original goal (that is equality) to be detrimental to the intent of the original movement.
Now if a recurring trend of unjust action could be demonstrated I would be open to learning about it and taking action to eradicate it. However, I personally see a great many more harms currently brought about by the actions of those who fly the feminist flag.
Couldn't agree more. In some ways it looks as though they are isolating off females while claiming such insignificant things as sexism, as it looks they are running out of things to fix in order to keep their movement running. The problem is equality is a very difficult thing to measure, and so they create their own e.g. women in STEM jobs. Far less women go into STEM than males, but it seems the movement claims this is due to women having difficulty entering this field rather than the fact girls are just far less interested in it. The female and male minds are not equal, nor should be treated as such. They should obviously be given equal chances, but not forced so they are completely equal as this displaces the male jobs, leaving them unemployed. I don't think they think of the long term solutions to what they are doing and honestly that scares me.
