What exactly is feminism?

It sounds hypocritical from the name onwards.

They always talk about how women get Sexally assaulted and other stuff and say it as if men dont suffer the issues.
The focus on the female side of things yet men don't get attention.
Shouldn't it be called Equalism?
Which is similar to Communism.
Communism will only work in a perfect society

[quote=Deciduous]well sure, feminism is about equality

women shouldn't get the sole spotlight when it comes to sexual assault since men can be sexually assaulted (and are)...but women in most cases being physically more vulnerable will always get a bit more of the attention i feel[/quote]

We're going to advocate equality by giving spotlight to one gender.

Oh the irony in that statement.

I think that what you're saying is something like, if feminism is about equality why isn't there a masculinism. Feminism should then be renamed "humanism" or something, because having a subject dedicated directly to women is sexist, and feminism is about eliminating sexism. Is that what you mean?

My answer is, feminism isn't about eliminating sexism, it's about using sexism for women's benefits.

Whenever I hear the words "Feminine," or "Feminism." First thing I think of is high heeled shoes, mini skirts, makeup, and Hello Kitty. Now I wish I had the money + lived near a mall to buy these fine products.

what were we talking about again? o__o

Really? All my threads are religious, not girl based.

And back on topic, feminists advocating protection for sexual assault victims, lower rights for women, health care, abortion, and stereotypes for women. If they are trying to promote everything to achieve equality, they're making it sound like males don't have that kind of issue.

what you're thinking of is third wave feminism, there's a big difference. feminism is against belittling of females which occurred a lot in history and still happens in various cultures around the world. third wave feminism is.. well. stupid.

[quote=Yarrum61]Your arguments... are all over the place.

How did feminism become linked to communism again?[/quote]

Feminism is the idea of men and women being equal = equalism

Communism is the idea of everyone being equal = equalism

equalism = equalism

To his logic of course, go Women!(?)

You mean Communism will only work in theory, right?

Feminism seems to come from the fact that females are/were looked down upon in many societies and they aim for equality.
Feminism could also mean being girly. o_O I dunno.

Stereotypically, and this is stereotypically once again, male are seen as the ones that are more... I guess sexually active (Dunno, how else to put it)? Truthfully, from experience, to me, It's true that men are more open about sexual things? I guess this is why guys are seen as more, you know... sexual? I guess nowadays, females are seen as more delicate then men. Which I'm pretty sure we are, no offense and all. Iuno, maybebecause guys are more sexual, that women are the ones seen as the weaker gender? But if you think about it, guys are the ones that are being open and stuff about sexual things, and I'm not blaming anyone in particular but in a way , it IS the male's fault for making the thought that 'Males are more sexual' due to their actions and speech? But this is all in my opinion, just saying it out loud.
