Dear god, please stop talking about Devia. I haven't seen any posts from her in a LONG TIME and I would like it to stay that way.

I consider myself to be a feminist...in the truest sense of what it's supposed to mean. There's a big difference between being a feminist and being a feminazi. I believe in equality. In fact, I found my way here while trying to fight for my husband's rights as a father.

I use the term feminist, but I also feel that it should have an expiration date. I hope that one day it will be an outdated and unneeded term. For now, I choose to use it as a way to counteract the evils that my so-called "sisters" are guilty of as a result of their man-hating. As men and women, we need to stand together as a united front. I also feel that this should include the gay and lesbian community. But...maybe I'm just a crazy idealist. It's possible, I guess.

That's very decent of you; he needs all the help he can get in that area.

To all intents and purposes in the west, it has expired.  In many non-western countries, it would only cause disharmony between the sexes.  In other non-western countries, it's obvious that women are being treated as second class citizens, and that is something that is wrong to anyone who cares about equality.  But in the west, it addressed obvious and necessary rights for women decades ago, and won those rights.  Now though feminism is fighting against bogus inequalities, and creating very real inequalities (ask your husband).  It's an industry.   Many feminists are enjoying the benefits of victimhood more than actually taking on the responsibility of someone who is no longer a victim.  That's a scary transformation for many feminists, who prefer the shelter feminism (and victimhood) provides.  Guaranteed benefits versus actual empowerment - ironically feminism disempowers women to choose the guaranteed benefits.

Welcome Aboard, Irreligious! Stick around and you'll see we're not anti-women, just anti-misandry...

I don't feel that feminism needs to be about being a victim...at least, not any more. I could go into a long blah-blah on how I feel about it, but that's boring. Besides, I'm not here to wave a banner. I'm here to help my husband through networking, advise, etc. I thank you for your welcome, though!  :toothy5:I welcome everyone to read my introduction. I really am desperate for help.

I guess to anyone who does read it, feminism can be seen as the Force (woo, Star Wars)!!! I'm a feminist Jedi fighting the feminist Sith...Hahahaha!!! I'm really not okay with some of the liberties that women have taken, especially when it comes to divorce and custody. Grrr. I guess if I gave up my label, I wouldn't be allowed to infiltrate the Siths' lair. Crap...I need to cut down on RPG thinking. Did ANY of that make sense??? *sips much-needed coffee* Forgive me, I didn't sleep well.
