Da Feminism Thread

[Beskar]

The problem with the Feminism movement is the extremists within in, what is termed, "Feminazi" popularised by Rush Limbaugh. There is also the whole "Male Apologist" sections of the feminist movement which is where the woman's husband is dragged along and has to atone for the flaws of his sex. This is due to the social constructions of such movements which appeal mostly to victims and those who feel persecuted, fostering an environment which can be more exclusive than opposed to its actual aim of being more inclusive.

This is why a great many people don't use the term "Feminism" but instead, Egalitarianism.

Egalitarianism (from French égal, meaning "equal")
:All people should be treated with the same dignity or be regarded as possessing the same intrinsic qualities despite our societal diversity of race, religion, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, political affiliation, socioeconomic status, (dis)ability or cultural heritage.

Because there is a wide number of social issues, and there are many groups for women, LBGT, Race, Disability and so on. But these individual groups tend to attract what they cater for, as i cited in the first paragraph.

The idea of being Egalitarian and self-identifying as such is stating "There are these issues, but let's work together, whether you are a woman, whether you are hetero/homo/bi/pan/a-sexual or have a different skin tone from the majority." and people do not feel "excluded" when they firmly believe in something but instead feel "included" of trying to achieve those same exact goals of these various movements.
