What is pseudo feminism? My view. - Page 5

I'd put a ditto on RTH's post. The term for fighting against discrimination is "feminism" and not "equalism" since it takes away the emphasis from where it should be, i.e., pulling up the less privileged section to level the field.

Well, people just hate women, that's why they make fun of the term feminism. No need to make excuses. Many do. Though, there are many feminists in U.S who actually work for elites than women, They destroy families, children's lives, do injustice to men, etc instead. They have just hijacked feminist movement. I do have big problem with them.

But Feminism should be in India, M.E, so some misogynists and brainwashed men, who believe women are less, get through their thick heads. However, we should be care it doesn't get hijacked. Anyway, Humanity is great. For all. Men, women, children, animals. etc.

@ bold :As an Equalist, I beg to differ ...

Egalitarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under that , gender egalitarianism

See for yourself , Equalism does indeed put emphasis on gender discrimination & does its best to pull up the less privileged section to level the field.. i repeat a 'fem' prefix is not a necessity to serve this cause.. there are other saner ways to achieve the same..

An ideology that is supposed to fight against discrimination and advocate equality is coined exclusively on one gender alone, it's a polarizing word to begin with.

<font color="#000099">@ red : precisely ! .. and i think if the ideology was inclusive of all kinds of people instead of being polarizing , it would be able to serve the cause in a better manner .. considering the seriousness of the issue , i dont think self-isolation will do the trick here.. and whenever i bring forth such points , all feminists say is - 'open your eyes there are many male feminists around' which i dont think sufficiently rules out my point of argument , is 'many' enough ? , how about including everybody & if you expect to include everybody in such a polarizing ideology, thats just stupid in my opinion.. </font>

<font color="#000099">Now having said that , i truly/honestly believe that Feminism in its truest form was indeed a necessity in initial stages of fight against patriarchy.. something like that was required to break out from the rigid system that plagued our soceity but now i think we have reached a point where if women continue to hold on to this outdated concept , it will do more harm than good..now i think women should start thinking of our species as a whole & not in terms of men or women .. i agree that there is still a part of battle left to be fought but let us fight this final battle together as human beings & not as men-women.. i think we can afford to do that now if only women allow themselves to see beyond feminism..and if women continue to give an excuse that no we are not yet ready for that since the discrimination is still huge, all i can say is , give us a call when you people are ready & fyi as "Equalists" we too are fighting discrimination.. </font>

But then why busy yourself with the term itself? If you too are essentially submitting to the idea of equality and anti-discrimination, then you are at your heart a feminist.
