For a large part of the population, it is a reflexive and instantaneous statement: “I support feminism” which is sometimes followed by some sort of “ ... but ...”.
I think Feminism is evil.
Women are fine. Women can hold any job, run companies, whatever. But they need to win the slots by merit, just like a man.
Feminism is a bad political philosophy which is less about supporting women and more about tearing down the values of western civilization. Look at Sarah Palin — on the one hand, she claimed she was a feminist. But the feminists hated her. She was a mayor, a governor, a business owner, a media personality, an author and a vice presidential candidate. Did the feminists support her as a remarkably successful woman? Hell no — they despised her for her support for western values.
I am not a feminist and I am reluctant to support anyone who speaks well of it.
If one didn’t know what it stood for and heart the word feminism for the first time, one would think it was a good thing.
I like my women feminine. It sounds almost old fashioned and sexy in a good way.
Boy would that person be shocked to find out what it really means.
Can a 100 pound female "fireperson" carry yo out of a burning building? A grown female has the strength and athletic ability of a 14 yer old boy.
I think Feminism is evil.

You’re confusing philosophical/ideal feminism with the political/social feminism that has the loudest megaphone and the most power and influence.
But that’s nothing new. You can look into any area where a genuinely positive ideology gets co opted by activists and the power-hungry... from civil rights all the way to award granting organizations. They lose their true goal when the puppet master who they was going to give them legs dangles them on other strings of political goals.
Real feminism is about all the good qualities of women. Political feminism is about advancing leftist social goals and attacking anyone who doesn’t.
