Feminism

Okay, people, I'm a feminist.

I'm addressing this issue because it's important to me, and I just want to say this, even though nobody will read it.

Some people think it's a bad thing for some reason; that if I believe in equal rights for women I should just call myself an "egalitarian". While I am also an egalitarian, one of the main things I like to advocate is rights for women, the most physically, psychologically and socially abused demographic in human history, despite consisting of 50% of the population.

Therefore this issue is important, people.

Feminism is not the advocacy of women's superiority. Some feminists do go too far and do this, which is why the issue of feminism has become so polarising. But the true definition is, according to the Oxford Dictionary (and supported by other definitions in Wikipedia and just about EVERY dictionary on the face of the earth), "the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes."

And yes. I did just copy and paste that from the Oxford Dictionary website, and I'm unsure how to change the font. Oh look, it's right up there... nah, I'll just leave it small. It adds a bit of character.

But the POINT is that FEMINISM = (WOMEN=MEN)

Comprende?

If you think men's rights are deteriorating, that our society is becoming too "politically correct" and you think "masculism" should be something we advocate for, you really don't understand how messed up the world really is. And even if feminists are overcorrecting, even if women do end up becoming superior to men, don't you think they're owed some kind of retribution?

Don't laugh, the patriarchy is a thing. Male dominance is engrained in our society, and women have a hard enough time as it is finding themselves both powerful and positive. And while it's harder to see in first world countries today, male dominance is still here. Australia and other progressive countries need to do their utmost to promote equal rights for everyone (something I might talk about in a later post regarding the longterm effects of children's entertainment).

Women put up with enough. They have periods and childbirth and boobs hurting when you punch them, and you can't say that the average man has to put up with worse things (and don't be a baby; there are worse things than getting hit in the testicles).

So don't make it harder for true feminists by being a deceived moron.

Rant over. You BETTER have a nice day!

...Women are so awesome that I wish I was one, because skirts look like fun to wear. Girls keep telling me they aren't but ... okay I'll stay a man because of the whole childbirth thing.
