Feminists always think women are better then men, until they are provided with proof that they are just as shitty because (surprise surprise) women are just humans too.
None of the feminists I've ever personally met do this. Are you sure you're not just rageposting right wing propaganda?
Asserting that "women are just humans too" is literally feminism.
I was so angry when I posted that, you can't imagine! The phone I used at the time ended being thrown out of the window and killing a cat. Pure, unbridled, boiling rage.
The sample size to beat them all
You're thinking of misandrists. Feminism is about equality of the sexes. Other groups (eg misandrists and terfs) sometimes claim to be feminist as a cover. A feminist believes men and woman are equals, a misogynist believes women are inferior, and a misandrist believes men are inferior.
I have never seen this to be applicable. From people its always one extreme side or the other.
You've most certainly seen it to be applicable. The issue is, the most arrogant people are always the loudest. People who claim to be feminist, but are terfs or misandrist usually garner the most negative attention and people start to only believe that feminism only means that thing. Feminism isn't very eye catching. People who are it don't scream at the top of their lungs.
Feminism is more widespread than you might believe too. Cause it's really really simple. Women and men are equal, deserve equal rights and for the majority of examples, can perform the same tasks.
So you mean equality. Say equality then.
Feminism is a crazy name crazy people invented to shift things to the opposite side, destructively.
You say feminism, but just the fucking word excludes half the fucking population.
You can be upset about it, but humans are dumb. Language is dumb. Terms that people have came up with, the definition that has changed over time, and how it does not relate to things in the present is dumb. Nothing will ever be exactly how you or anybody else wants it to be. It's a collective that you just have to accept as it is.
That being said, feminism has old roots when we used to pump our wives full of lithium and give them lobotomies. Treating them as equals was not something that was even discussed. You could say you were an egalitarian, but then you would have to also admit you liked people of color, or LGBTQ people. And that was a step too far for some.
Also its not excluding half the population. It's INCLUDING them. Men are included by default. It's a term that allows the conversation for how shitty women are typically treated to exist.
Equality doesn't mean equal treatmeant, but equal outcomes. Obvious black and white examples like men don't need cervix screening.
There are more nuanced things too, like homeless rates, suicide rates, career opportunities, sexual assault victims, education graduation rates, family court biases etc. All things that require nuanced attention between the sexes, and aren't easy to get right.
99% of feminists are just your every day person, wishing for a more equitable world. There's fringe parties of every socially political movement. I've kind of always wished there was a slightly more balanced name, but the movement started from the suffragettes, so it makes sense from a historical stand point.
Feminists don't think women are better than men. They also believe women are just humans too.
Rational feminists do, yes. The loud online feminists like the one depicted though...
You got that from a single sentence?
Maybe stop sniffing petrol before you respond. Or learn the meaning of the word context. Could be helpful in the future. You never know ;)
Yeah, the context is your mom never standing up to your dad, so you never learned what strength looks like.
Mate, I chose the name, that's not a burn. This is like making fun of a clown for wearing bright colors.
