feminism
I have recently been called a number of things (in the just-been-closed discharge thread) I was just accused of being "an idiot" , "assuming everything is women hating. " among a few other things including the very charming "lazy" and "cowardly".
The funniest was "a crazy feminist". so let's clear this up, what is feminism? |

It means whatever the person using it wants it to mean .... that's part of the problem of that word.

Feminism is the belief that men and women be treated equally.
Men or women who dislike the term, are probably misinformed as to its meaning imo |

Modern Feminism is evil and isn't needed in the Western World anymore.

Feminism is a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment.
Is there a prize? I've won, haven't I? Go me (and google) |

Feminism to me is acknowledging that you are female and going with it.

It's equality.
Being equally respected despite AND because of our differences. Not supremacy. |

Rude.
Unfortunately that is pretty much the norm these days whenever any conversation about feminism is started. There's a small faction that have become so threatened by it that whenever it's brought up, they immediately try to shut down the conversation either by calling people feminazi, or hairy ugly lesbians. This is not about DS but something I've been noticing on social media and other websites lately. Yes, it seems to be very prevalent, worryingly so. (Btw. Horrible spelling mistake on my post. unneCessary) |

. I did think your post was too ridiculous to be serious. It's always a good idea to put some kind of emoticons on posts like yours as it removes all doubt.

Feminism is the belief that men and women should not be treated equally. If possible everything should be blamed on men.

In the context of this forum at this particular time a feminist is a woman who believes that it is unacceptable to publicly humiliate a woman on national television because she has normal vaginal secretions in her underwear. Be proud OP for being"accused" of being a feminist because you probably are one - which is wonderful!
