• Feminism gave women all of the same rights and privileges as men

    Feminism hasn’t done that yet, we’re nowhere near equal rights and opportunities for women and if you don’t believe me, look at the gender balance in US government roles and who has the money and power.

    Let’s focus on dismantling patriarchy and the harm it creates for men as well.

    • Gender balance in government and business is not a proxy for equality.

      Woman are not institutionally prevented from campaigning for office. If they’re not voted in, that’s just democracy.

      Women are not institutionally prevented from climbing the corporate ladder. They largely prefer to have a more comfortable work/life balance.

      But they are accepted into college 2:1 compared to men.

      They do receive scholarships, educational, and career opportunities just for being women.

      They do receive an egregiously unfair advantage in family and divorce courts.

      Those are institutional.

      This is BS, currently feminism looks to only strive after the cozy office places and various places of power. I didnt seen feminism once to call for equal numbers of female rig workers, construction workers, Alaska fishing jobs and similar… Feminists are mysteriously somehow always just after the lucrative office jobs…
