Question

In your opinion, what exactly makes someone a feminist and non-feminist?

Answer 1

In my opinion, a feminist is someone who stands against discrimination against women, regardless of that individual's personal moral or ethics.

A "true" feminist would, for example, protect a female murderess if she was provoked into it by some sort of domestic disturbance.

No such protection exists for men - when was the last time you heard of a fella being protected by a civil rights movement when he had killed his wife for abuse?

A person who considers themselves to be anything - Feminist, Atheist, Communist, Capitalist*, etc - is a person who deals in absolutes.

A person who will protect something no matter what that thing did is nothing more than a fool, in my reckoning.

*Pacifist.

Answer 2

A feminist is a person who believes in gender equality, but tends to focus on disadvantages for women. (This is not to say that they are ignorant of disadvantages for men, but they just don't talk about them as much.) A non-feminist is one who may believe the same things, but still refuses to wear the label. An anti-feminist is one who opposes gender equality in principle.

Answer 3

Feminists are people that believe in equality between the sexes. Non-feminists are people that don't.

Answer 4

Any woman who has her own bank account is a feminist.

Answer 5

Feminists are people who subscribed to an ideology and a movement that focuses solely on the interest of women and fight/push for special laws, acts and privileges that favor women but discriminates against men..  People who support feminism(the feminists) often use "equality" as a mask to fool and brain-wash people into supporting their movement..

Non-feminist are people who refuse or don't subscribe to feminist's ideology.

Answer 6

Feminists believe that women and men should be equal; non-feminists don't.

Answer 7

Non-feminist = balls; feminist = huge balls.

Answer 8

A feminist is someone who values women as equally important as men in society. She does not put herself above men or attempts to become one. She doesn't hate men.

I am largely happy where women stand today; I appreciate being able to vote, serve in the military and receive an engineering degree.

Answer 9

I don't believe in discrimination based on gender. I'm not a member of any feminist org, so I don't know what they teach.

Answer 10

Feminists are for empowerment of women beyond all reason and for the subjigation of men at any cost.

Anti feminist are for true equality between men and women they are  for doing what is actually right not what feels right at the moment.

Few anti feminists are calling for anything more than reql equality the same can not be said for feminists.

Just look at how they have answered this question so far. Many of them have had if you are not for feminism then you are for inequality answers so that kinda destroys their claim they are for equality.

Because they are dealing in the absolute ideolgy that their way to equality is the only way.

If they were for equality then they would not ignore what is happening to men would they?

Anti feminists for the most part do not want women to lose anything other than the extra privilages that they have gotten by ill means.
