Gender equality will never exist until Feminism and Chauvinism are eradicated from society. &quot;Feminists&quot; should take a moment to think about what Feminism actually means from an outside perspective.
It&#039;s fair to say, most women become a Feminist because of unfair treatment to them, because of their gender. But that is the same as a man of African heritage becoming racist against Caucasian people, because of the unfair treatment to them due to the colour of their skin. It&#039;s madness.
I am pro-gender-equality. I acknowledge how women are unfairly treated because of their sex. But I also acknowledge how men are unfairly treated also, a fact that a lot of feminists tend to ignore. In the same way as chauvinists think, most feminists believe that men are still dominant, where-as in modern society women have preferential treatment purely because of their gender.
On the news, if a group of people do heroic deeds, they are simply &quot;people&quot;. If the group happened to all be women, then the media would rave about how empowering it is for women to see such brave women being heroes. Yet, if you were to have all of them as men, they would still be referred to as persons and people. There would not be any celebration of the deeds of men.
Both men and women have made massive contributions to society, but there seems to be a growing trend now to eradicate any celebration or remembrance of the deeds of men in history and society. Excluding the recent wars, it has been almost exclusively men who have died in wars. Yet there was no large feminist movement for women to equally be able to go to the front lines.
It&#039;s funny how so many people on here are praising feminism, when feminism both devalues the social identity of men and insults those women who want true gender equality - rather than misandry.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feminism is as close to gender equality, as Chauvinism is.

I&#039;m a girl who likes to wear dresses and makeup and I also happen to hate math and would rather be an actress or singer than an accountant or an engineer. Because of this, I&#039;m somehow a dumb bimbo or a stupid Barbie Doll. Feminism isn&#039;t about telling women how they should act, it&#039;s about letting them chose how they want to be, whether they want to be girly or not! And what really sickens me is how many girls have this mentality.
Also, I really hate how the word &quot;girly&quot; is used as an insult and the assumption that my femininity makes me an idiot. I&#039;m more than just a girl in a pink dress. I&#039;m also a huge fantasy series/anime/theater nerd and an aspiring photographer. That&#039;s who I am and NOBODY has the right to change that.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need feminism because I&#8217;m tired of stereotyping.
