Is feminism in the real word defined by fluffy idealistic liberals with no influence?

Question

or is it defined by a small group of politically active mental and emotional trainwrecks who seek vengeance (not equality) through political action.

Answer 1

If only the activists were the people who were out for equality...

Edit

Notice all the people who totally miss the point & start talking about what feminism is *supposed* to be like rather than the types of people who are active in feminism. I suppose they think VAWA  was pushed through the legal system by a dictionary?

Answer 2

You're asking to be brainwashed when you believe the dictionary. The problem with the dictionary is that it is politically correct and is supposed to seem neutral, and defining feminism as a movement for equality is the only way to do that. Since the dictionary is supposed to maintain politically correct neutrality, it cannot be expected to be up to speed with issues, especially controversial ones.

For example, the dictionary defines 'g*y' as 'being happy'. Imagine the reaction when a man says "I'm so g*y!" It means something else today, and isn't used to denote happiness too often.

Same with feminism. The 'real feminists' who are sitting on their computers confirming the purity and virtue that oozes out of feminism do nothing to get any real influence, so they're complaining about nothing really when they say "The big bad radicals are oppressing men, but I'm the real feminist!" Well the radicals think they're the real feminists too, but they have more influence and anything feminism has achieved, good or bad, is a result of radical influence, not true equality.

Like doodlebugjim said, VAWA wasn't pushed through the legal system with a dictionary. Nor was affirmative action, the wage gap myth, phony femstats and what not. These hardly make for equality, which goes both ways. Once feminists stopped seeing equality as a two-way street (that started right after women got The Vote), they ceased to be for equality. To them, 'equality' is the confounded notion that women should be treated 'more equal' than men. If you throw political correctness out the window, this means that women, according to feminists, should have so many more rights and such little responsibility that men become nothing more than toys to be beaten, thrashed, disposed and replaced. Their feelings do not matter, and it is good when men cry.

You'd be screwed if you had to listen to the dictionary for everything. Listen to some common sense and logic for a change. The dictionary is about the only thing western feminists have in their favour.

The western woman needs feminism like a fish needs a bicycle.

Answer 3

Feminism is only the quest for equal treatment for equal actio. There is no fluffy or trainwrecks in the definition.

Answer 4

Is begging the question to meaningless, fluffy conclusions a tactic perpetrated by bored individuals with no particular point to make, or by angry individuals who can't stand the existence of opposing points of view?

Answer 5

Don't you think it makes more sense for the feminists to define feminism instead of the people who are struggling to understand it? (the latter would be you by the way).

Answer 6

Both, the former dont have any influence or impact and dont strive for any, the latter are the ones who are responsible for the "achievements" in the name of feminism.

Answer 7

Feminism is based on the principle of 'give as little as possible and take as much as you can',

Take away from men, from companies, or even public money.

Almost a kind of extortion.

This behaviour shows clearly, that feminism has nothing to do with equality. It is a hateful movement demanding unjustified advantages for a certain group of women.

Answer 8

The definition of feminism is very simple----the belief that men and women are equal.

Feminisim has nothing to do with bra-burning butchy lesbians, although unfortunately people see stuff like that and assume it has something to do inherently with the belief of feminism itself.
