Poll: Are you a feminist? (Read details)?

Question

By feminist I don't mean man-hating or bra-burning; I mean someone who believes in equal civil rights between women and men. You don't believe that women only belong in the kitchen; they have the right to be the CEO of a major company.

Explain.

Answer 1

agreed..

Answer 2

If thats what a feminist is, I guess I am one.

Answer 3

I am exactly what you described.

By no means do I currently feel the need to go out and picket because women are so drastically inequal to men.  They're really not.  I have no desire to be better than any man.  Just equivalent to him in ability and opportunity.

Answer 4

I am a feminist because I think women can do whatever they want.

I am not a "feminist" who scorns women that do traditional female chores.

Answer 5

I believe in equal rights for both sexes, and support those struggling for equal rights, but I dislike those who believe women should actually have more rights than men.

Answer 6

No I am not even remotely feminist. The thing about feminism is it awakens old traditions that happened about 30000000000000 years ago. I think we should learn from mistakes certainly, but we shouldn't live our lives in the past for god's sake. We shouldn't dwell on it. Equal rights between a man and a woman eh? hm..at this point why can't it be called maleism or something of a similar nature? why FEMINISM? That is paradoxical in itself. To name the very thing that we call equality feminism. It makes zero sense. So as you can see, feminism in itself is biased. It doesn't matter what you say, feminism is ALWAYS rooting for the female.

This is from an article I found that was published in a university newspaper which I completely agree with:

"A large group of women seem to want independence. This is fine. But they don't seem to realize some of the things they give up by being "independent."

Women often complain that guys don't treat them like ladies. They say guys don't open doors, pull out chairs, lay their coats over puddles and blah, blah, blah.

Well, guess what? If you're independent, you can open your own door, pull out your own chair and step over that puddle. You get what you ask for.

I don't blame guys for being terribly confused by women. They are very confusing.

Not to say that guys aren't confusing as well. They are not perfect by any means.

But what is this uprising of women with power? Why are women so power hungry?"

Answer 7

Women are essential to a well balanced society.
