Does feminism generally advocate for equality or equity between men and women?

Question

in disappointment*

Answer 1

Absolutely not.

A 'feminist' is a 'female supremacist', (and they are about as interested in sexual equality as a white supremacist is in racial equality).

Misandry (or feminism as its proponents cause it), is a hate-group intent on the subjugation and oppression of men.

Answer 2

Hard to say. I think these days, it's more equity-based, but in earlier days, it was more equality-based.

Answer 3

There are so many different kinds of feminism that it's hard to generalize. Many feminists, self included, believe that the reason women and men don't have a consistent outcome (as you put it) is a *lack* of fair and impartial treatment. We expect different things from women and men and punish those who act to much like the "opposite" s*x, and this harms most people in a lot of ways.

Answer 4

No, many of them here keep saying it is only about equality but when someone points out an area where men are at a disadvantage they will, laugh and say the shoes on the other foot now or something stupid like that.

if there is to be equality, outcome is decided on merit, not gender anything else implies that men and women are not equal that and one gender needs special laws in order to achieve an equal outcome.

the overwhelming majority of feminists do not understand what real feminism is about.

Answer 5

The power of a v****a is directly correlated to her ability to "go get a man".

Have you noticed how women in law enforcement and in the military love to start c**p with men? Ofcourse she doesn't have to go far to find a man (with a real p***s and testicles but a small brain) to "stick up" for her.

If these women had to fight their own battles they would'nt start the problems to begin with.  They sure do love the whole acting tuff thing.

Answer 6

your asking what is more important?

Equal outcomes or Equal opportunities.

Equal opportunities is more important of course, however inequal outcomes often point out issues with equal opportunities.

saying the same thing...with the correct and less confusing terms : )

Answer 7

Nature assigned men and women different roles.

If you were born a woman and dont like the deal then tough.  Welcome to the real world.

Women are only as 'equal' as men allow them to believe.  When the gloves come off, women follow and men lead.

Answer 8

in most countries equality but there are many where equity as per your definition has to be sought before equality can even be considered

Answer 9

I don't know about everyone else, but I advocate for both.  Fair and impartial treatment will hopefully provides us with good, consistent outcomes.

Edit: Equity= fairness.

Equality=having the same rights or status.

Don't know which dictionary you have been reading...

You can't have equality without equity.  Maybe you should do a bit of research into your definitions, huh...

Edit: Having same RIGHTS- last I checked being paid the same for differing amounts of work isn't equal- may be equal pay, but not equality.

I have no need to quantify my intelligence for you.  I am secure in myself and my intelligence, and don't find it necessary to insult others' to make myself feel 'smarter'.

Oxford dictionary- the dictionary for those who speak ENGLISH.

I can see what you are saying- and in terms of wages, I agree.  But I disagree on your terms of definition.  Maybe your dictionaries in America are different.  Because according to the English ones...

Let's agree to disagree on the exact definitions.  I'll just shut myself up and make you happy- Equity.

You are a Kiwi, lol.  Sorry about the assumption.  Have a good one.

Answer 10

No, feminism has nothing to do with equality or equity.

It is a hateful movement, looking for advantages for some certain groups of women.

Feminism does not even advocate equality for all women...

some women are less equal than others...married women with boys are considered to be traitors of the own gender, Asian women married to a foreign husband are considered as doormats...etc.
