Can you list real examples of where women have tried to assert superiority over men? I know there are a few crazy misandrists out there who claim to be feminists, but I think the concept of feminism has become so tarnished and negatized for that reason partly to keep women down and from speaking out about women's rights. |

It doesn't sound like its about equality to me. |

The name says it all, really: Feminism. It's not about equality of the sexes, but the superiority of the feminine vs. the masculine approach, to governance, business, relationships, and any and all human realms. I accept much of the criticism leveled at "The Patriarchy" of old, and recognize the continuing disparagement of the feminine in many areas, but find Humanism far superior to Feminism in addressing these issues. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

That was my impression as a teenager, as well, and I considered myself a feminist at that time, but I have since discovered that there is a strong strain of feminism, both in the upper echelons of academic Women's Studies and out among 'the laity,' that holds the feminine superior to the masculine and considers it preferable as a guiding force for society. There's an adversarial component built in to the concept of feminism, such that while I support many aspects and initiatives of feminism, I cannot call myself a feminist. If equality is the goal, why would anyone hesitate to set feminism aside for the more inclusive doctrine of humanism? |

I pretty much agree agree all the way. The only thing that feminism really has left to do is secure equal pay for equal work which is still, as of the last time I checked, lacking. I don't see any major focus on that though and thus anybody who claims to be a feminist and isn't working on that almost exclusively is just seeking to make women dominant over men, IMO. So I suppose that he logic of setting feminism aside from humanism is a 'divide and conquer' strategy but after the last aforementioned legitimate goal is achieved, such separatists won't have even that leg to stand on. |

There are plenty of relatively insignificant examples based on the observations and experiences of others, but here's one that would make any rational person's (man or woman) blood boil. I'm not usually one to say, all in good conscience, that a person should just drop dead. Valerie Solanas, however, is one major exception. She can drop dead. And HARD. |

^^Yeah i guess that makes sense. But they're still sluts whether they like it or not |

There's so much more that feminism has left to do besides equal pay. Pretty much everything besides being allowed to vote and other basic laws STILL needs to be worked on. Just consider all the domestic violence, human trafficking, double standards both in the media and in real life that actively create a glass ceiling for women. |

^^Uhhh...they are treated like human beings, my friend. |

"La bellezza del paessa di Galilei!"
Yeah, I was being satirical and pointing out the blatantly unfair double standard. Personally, I don't at all hold it against a woman if she is slut. It is so absurd when guys who would screw anything that walks go, "She's a damn slut." I'm always like, "Uh, you're a slut." |
|
You are dreaming right now.
That is the explanation for the natural tendency to have the double standard, but we live in an age where female sluts are generally trying to avoid getting pregnant and pretty much all of the male sluts are. People need to understand the silliness of having the double standard in these times. |
|
You are dreaming right now.
Yeah its because we've become degenerate and people seek to fulfill their lives with pleasures, one of which is sex, without taking on the responsibility for the consequences |
|
"La bellezza del paessa di Galilei!"
Uh.. Can I say something about this equal pay idea. Isn't it Socialistic to force employer to pay women the same as men? The women can demand more payment and everyone can be happy without socialism and without muddying up the legal system. I don't see the need for a law. |

A vast majority of feminists may not be that radical, to be sure, but a vast majority of them do, in fact, show some degree of misandrist behavior, even if minute...and therein lies the point: feminism and misandry tend to go hand-in-hand, no matter what way you look at it. |
