How many members of this community support feminism ?

I don't know how many here support feminism but I'd guess the majority, including myself...

How many see feminism as cancer?

How do I see feminism? Is that what you mean? I see it as a movement to obtain equal rights for women...

Who sees the truth about what feminism has actually done to relationships and families ?

Feminism has done nothing to relationships or family.. I'm in a relationship and have kid (s)..

Now, a question from me.. How long ago did your wife / girlfriend leave you and why do you blame feminists for you causing your wife to leave?

I hate to tell you but Hi IQ is not apt to show on Social Media.

Insulting people by suggesting they have less than average intelligence isn't going to win friends or get good conversations going either.

So I'm perplexed. You have to know your wording was off here?

You aren't going to get honest responses - you've already rubbed everyone's fur in the wrong direction.

Perhaps try stating a viewpoint - or citing an article and then ask people's opinions - and let them know it's fine if they are different from the one presented.

But this is just a lot of anger generation. Except for the few people who still tried to answer the question.

BTW I am a feminist. I don't feel the need to defend a viewpoint that tries to bring women equivalent to men.
I'm also a Humanist.

Bringing all people equal is sort of the mandate.

When women aren't second class citizens - then I might have a happy day.

Feminism is not a cancer, to equate the movement to an often deadly disease is folly. You ask who sees the truth about what feminism has actually done and the very tone in the question leads one to believe that you take issue with the movement, which leaves me curious about your opinion. [Update: I'm no longer curious.]

Mine is that it is still a much needed cause, and I could give you a laundry list of reasons but I suspect I would be repeating what you've read time and again. Best of luck to you.

I absolutely do not see feminism as cancer. As with every school of thought there are people who take a reasonable point and continue to push it until it reaches the absurd. If we evaluate any school of thought by the most radical within it then we would have to conclude that all schools of thought are absurd. Feminism is about sexual equality. As an atheist I see many radical atheists who come off as nut jobs and many religious people point at those people as examples of how terrible atheism is. I think that's wrong. Feminism, as in sexual equality, is a good thing but some people take it to an extreme which is not a good thing. To put on blinders to that can take a warped view of the movement in order to push an equally radicalized and skewed agenda.

You seem have a rough deal here. Most of the resonses have been knee-jerk attacks. Pity people are not willing think things through, and contribute something worthwhile.

Feminism promoted the idea that gender was a social construction, and flew against the notion that gender roles were innate and natural. This was vitally important to undermine generational norms for the subjugation of women. Sadly all ideologies self consume themselves. Whilst it is true that gender roles are socially constructed it is important, no vital, to also accept that nature plays an indelible role in gender construction. This is often forgotten or ignored by feminism.

As for "all the media hype lately", I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you have any evidence, and in what way is such "hype" directed.

Maybe your expectations are too high. It happens when we assume so much.

Better grab a raincoat! You're kinda pissin' into the wind here, buddy.

These questions show you are a sexist jerk:

"Who sees the truth about what feminism has actually done to relationships and families ?"

"How many see feminism as a cancer? "

If i respond, you get a couple points, then you might get a level, then you might stay and post more of this baited crap, so I am not going down that road.

Haha! FAIL!

In regards to equal pay and opportunity in the work place and equal treatment under the law, I am 100% supportive of the core tenants of feminism which the original feminists fought (and many courageously died) for. I have zero interest in supporting the modern day social justice warrior agenda of lifting women up at the expense of tearing men down.

We all lose when a divide between the sexes exists. We are strongest when we enhance each other’s strengths and shore up each other’s weaknesses, and that can’t happen in an environment where one sex views themselves as superior to the other.

Neither sex holds sway over the other. We are simply different. If that balance is not recognized and accepted by a major majority of a society, that society cannot and will not flourish.

You should have started with the line where you ask: "How many members of this community..." but as I don't like being patronized, now I don't even feel like responding, sorry man!

The problem with your menu of questions is that not everybody has a common language or understanding of what may or not be considered feminism. Perhaps that is what you were looking for. That is to say, the range of definitions or the degree of commonality. Your approach might work.

Posing it like did is a lot like how the Republicans posed the concept of familiy values in the run up to his second tetm. Reagan and his Republicans defined family values as meaning one man and one women in matrimony having children.

Democrats were trying to champion same sex marriage ( first election where this was an actual topic of discussion). Democrats said two people of the same sex could constitute a family.

The Republicans countered by saying that if you were not in agreement with them you were opposed to family values. It worked for them quite well to squelch the same sex marriage issue for 2 decades.

It was lose-lose for Democrats. If they said they were for family values (which they had to do in the presidential debates) they deneid the same sex marriage constituency. If they claimed that they disagreed with their Republican opponents, they were labeled as opposed to having familt values.

Feminism is like that. Whose definition of feminism do you use? What does it look like? Until a common vocabulary is established an intelligent conversation is difficult.

So you insult people and then ask them to discuss? Seems to me that you lack ... social skills ... for someone of such professed uber-intelligence. You encourage defensiveness which activates the limbic system thus short-circuiting the pre-frontal cortex. Even if you desire logic and reasoning you've already subverted it for many of the readers. Physician heal thyself.

what kind of a nut are you? I don't think you belong here
