I could never figure this out...

feminism
1: the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes

Huh?

feminism
2: organized activity on behalf of women's rights and ? -> interests <- ?



From Wikipedia...

Feminism is a body of social theory and a political movement providing a critique of social relations,which focuses on analyzing gender inequality and the promotion of women's rights, interests, and issues.

Feminist theory aims to understand the nature of gender inequality and focuses on gender politics, power relations and sexuality. Feminist political activism campaigns on issues such as reproductive rights, male domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, sexual harassment, discrimination, and sexual violence. Themes explored in feminism include patriarchy, stereotyping, objectification, sexual objectification, and oppression.

Modern feminist theory has been criticized as being predominantly, but not exclusively, associated with Western middle-class academia. Feminist activism, however, is a grass-roots movement that seeks to cross boundaries based on social class, race, culture, and religion. It is culturally specific and addresses issues relevant to the women of that society: for example female circumcision in Sudan, or the glass ceiling in developed economies. Some issues, such as rape, incest, and mothering, are universal.

"..what causes no2fembots to barf!"  :vomit3:

The most corrosive, demonic, evil, malodorous, simpering, destructive, morally bankrupt ideology to ever infect the inhabitants of this, or any other planet!

TestSubject,
Interesting.  I wonder how many people here will claim they are against feminism?

[Galt]

How about:

Feminism involves people who say:

1: the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes

... and then do something else that has nothing to do with that (aside from the fact that "equality" gets pretty hard to define; for some, affirmative action or unequal treatment among the genders is equality).

[Bender]

There is feminism the philosophy and then there are the advocates of feminism.  I reject the philosophy as being a poisonous lie and that puts me at odds with the lying advocates of it.

I would say feminism is a belief system based on the assumption that women are oppressed and men are oppressors. All evidence to the contrary is dismissed by feminists. Biological differences are regarded not as the cause of the diversion of male/female roles, but as a reason for the continued oppression of women by men. This assumed oppression - suffered only by women - justifies an endless stream of remedies and female perks, which is the real reason for the perpetuation of feminism. The result has been that the schools, legislatures, and courts have accepted as normal the permanent favoring of the female over the male gender in every aspect of life. This is supposedly done in the name of equality. Not satisfied with favoritism in schools, the workplace, and marriage, feminists organized with taxpayer funding are attacking masculinity itself as the bastion of everlasting oppression. Women influenced by feminism remain civilized as long as their status as a favored gender is not challenged.

Well, don't get me started or I might write another book.

It's interesting that I've never heard of blackism as a name for a theory to create equality for black people.  Or "people of colorism".  So why feminism?  Why name it after one group out of all groups it says it wants equality with?  

It would be more accurate for it to be called "feminine-ism".  Cuz that's what it is at it's core.  They all agree it's all about women. Then it branches out from there to anywhere and everywhere from facism, to conservatism, to liberalism, to radicalism.

Feminism is Marxism verbatum,  just repackaged and sold to one side of society.  (* there is a male version just done in different ways)

However, women do not benifit as much as do the buracracies in my opinion, and we must remember these buracracies are ever expanding their corruption which will include the disenfranchisement of women in the longterm.  

Women who follow the feminist mantra are literally shooting themselves in the foot.  

Look at who finances feminism all around the world.  It is the likes of the IMF and other elite bankers.  Do you really think they do this for a feel good charity prop?   It's population control pure and simple and feminism helps them do this. These are the types of people who give blankets under the guise of charity meanwhile have them laced with smallpox in oder to depopulate regions for their imperialism.  This is literally what feminism is by analogy.  It just uses psychological weapons instead.

When "they" say they want more women in politics what they are really saying is that they want more brainwashed gender marxites who will sing their tune for a globalist society under elite control, which is fundementally what feminism is achieving right now.

Soon women will lose their rights of reproduction to the state.  All because of so called feminism.  Women should learn this.  Warren Ferrall was right,  they are just switching man for husband for state for husband, and believe me history has shown us which is the real abusive culprit.

There's so much anti-Marxist rhetoric yet sometimes I wonder what Marx they have been reading.....


"Look at who finances feminism all around the world. It is the likes of the IMF and other elite bankers."



Would these people actually be Marxists?  Or capitalists?  Who's currently center stage in the power game?


Statist is not synonomous with Marxist.  (though most Marxists are)

Marxism allows them to collectivise and centralize wealth and power.  Feminism allows them to control reproduction and child rearing.  They are monopolists, and really they are royalty and elite families who want to maintain their status.  They control the military industrial complex and they have more weapons either psychological or political viruses like feminism at their disposal than we can understand.  That's what they do.

Next you'll tell me there really never has been a true communist society.

I often wonder if all the talk about Marxism deflects the personal responsibility that should be resting upon the shoulders of the weak men in this country.  :?:

Society has been given a steady stream of false information for the last few decades.  Most people believe they are doing the right thing, it is the Hegalian philosophy: problem, reaction, solution.  

Problem:  Women are in abusive surroundings, raped repeatedly and denied to live their lives to their full potentential because of old school patriachial values.

Reaction:  How aweful, fear is everywhere, something must be done.

Solution:  Don't worry we have the solution, bigger government and larger police forces.


And inch by inch it moves.  The reality is people are trying to solve the problem on only half of the information and this is what leads to bad public policies.

The wool has been pulled over our eyes.  It is literally the Matrix of deception by design.  

It's goal is not to protect women,  it's goal is to devour human life, to control us, subjugate us.  As Hitler said in his book "World Order"  "First  you get the women, then you get the children, then so follow the men."

The current state of Feminism in America is exactly what happened in China in the 40's/50's.  

Men are chivilrous and natural protectors of women, but men need to learn that feminism is designed to harm women.  And if you read feminist theory they know this which is why they want to destroy chivilry or male protection instinct.

So then Marxism is only the tool that the elites (ie. the top capitalists) use.





"Next you'll tell me there really never has been a true communist society."



Actually no.  I'm the one roping you into saying that that isn't "real" capitalism.  but silly me, of course capitalism isn't about concentrating wealth...

Whether you like it or not competition wants to destroy competition and so leads, eventually, to tyranny

I'm not a Marxist by the way.

I agree with Bender and I think Mr. Conspiracy is valid as well... my opinion is that the whole mess is the result of several things:


1.) One World Government types in conjunction with Communist types entrenched in our Universities moving not together but in the same direction do much to convert our youth; feminism is one of the tools to help bring down the current establishment.

2.) Weak men (feminist men) who likely belong to either crowd is our greatest enemy. Strong masculine men are the greatest threat to the 'New World Order'. They will aggressively oppose the androgyny ideals of feminism and the new world people.

3.) Feminine women who support masculine men are second on the list of targets by the new world people.

4.) Chemical Endocrine Disruption- Chemical compounds and mixtures which interfere with normal fetal development have caused the birth of a significant proportion of masculine women and feminine men; a population much more likely to find feminist demands of androgyny more palatable then normal people. This is not a plot by those in power (I hope) but an unfortunate coincidence that has layed the foundation for the new world people's success.


So what we have is an industrialized world whose population contains a noticable percentage of chemically sex reversed individuals, and where for reasons of monetary gain, global domination, idealized notions or just plain ignorance and stupidity some of the wealthy elite through their circles and much of the general population at large are pushing for a politically correct, communist, or one government world.

Indoctrinate the youth, and attack masculine men and feminine women as neolithic and unenlightened. Deny the existence of biological sex differences and declare the observation of said differences to be the result of oppression of women by men. Get women into all areas of work through quotas, threats of lawsuits, whatever. Raise taxes so people have no real time while their trying to 'make a living' and have children raised in daycare. Then indoctrinate the children in the schools, put them on Ritalin or whatever. Sounds like a great recipe for the end of a society.



"Men and women are attracted to each other and compliment each other through their differences and the resulting sex roles. Take that away through lies and brainwashing and tyranical tactics and society will fall."

[bukowski]

I agree with what russ says.  not all of it necessarily.
