fem·i·nism - [fem-uh-niz-uhm]

noun 1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.

2.( sometimes initial capital letter ) an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
So. A while back somebody on this here internet forum said that they not only do not consider themselves feminists, but consider it "BS" that contains "notions of racial and sexual superiority". This is pretty clearly wrong, and sadly it was offtopic in the thread it appeared, and it was tragically locked soon after. The sentiment stuck in my mind though, and given that recently discussions in the backroom have mainly been uber-manly debates about the power and strength of various long and hard gun barrels, I've decided to open this thread to balance out the tone of the threads here, and to let the backroom engage in its feminine side.

The motion:

The work of feminism and feminists in changing social attitudes, eroding gendered privilege as manifested by the Patriarchy and achieving equality between the genders is not complete.


Nice and broad, as we can see.
