    'Faith' being defined as a belief that is not supported by proof.

    It's a cult/hate group - it's just 'white nationalism' but with sheet-wearing rednecks swapped with overweight hairy women (who look more like sumo wrestlers than real women)

    Seriously, the right wing nuts are so afraid of losing their ability to be jerks in the changing society. It must really suck for them.

    Feminism basically means: "not taking any crap from nobody just because I'm a woman". That modifier is kind of important.
    I don't see what could be wrong with that.

    ryobi, you can't even spell the name of the person in your signature. So I have little faith that you will get things right. Her name is Catharine, not Catherine. And the quote is not hers, it was written by someone at Playboy way back when where they claimed she'd said it as a way to get back at her for being anti-pornography. It's her word against theirs. The word of an academic against the word of sleaze-Playboy? Oh, God, so hard to choose.

    Feminism is the belief that people shold be treated equally regardless of gender. That is a value judgement. What kind of facts are you looking for?

    Oh they will always be jerks, but its good to see them losing influence.
    Just seeing the posts here tells you whats happening, they are trashing about like a foul-hooked alligator, trying to find someone to get with their impotent rage.

    Feminism is like atheism, in that it is very simple. No belief in god; yes belief in equal treatment.

    Feminism is not an ‘equality’ movement. If Feminism were an equality movement then why don’t Feminists look at the gender achievement gap in education as a problem, rather than as an achievement? If Feminism were an equality movement then why don’t Feminists care about the sentencing gap?

    Feminism doesn’t mean equality today any more than ‘(*)(*)(*)’ means a bundle of sticks today. Those words may have once meant those things, but when someone says, ‘(*)(*)(*)’ today I doubt anyone thinks they are referring to a bundle of sticks. Similarly Feminism is not simply an ‘equality’ movement today just as the Nazis were not simply a national socialist movement. Just as the Nazis were a supremacist hate movement, Feminism today is a supremacist hate movement.

    Being a feminist today does not mean you simply believe in, ‘equality’. Being a Feminist today means you believe in their theories like, men are the only pepetrators of domestic violence, and women are the only victims of domestic violence, gender is a social construct, the wage gap, patriarchy, rape culture ec cetera, ec cetera, and these theories are not only not supported by proof, they’re discredited by proof .

    I am a feminist, and no hair brain screeching radical gets to appropriate the name and make feminism mean what they are.

    Do you believe inequality is wrong when it effects either gender?

    And some White Nationlists are kindy sexy too

    Ain't he dreamy?

    People identify as feminists for the same reason people identify as 'white nationalists or supremacists' - if they were simply about standing up for 'women's rights' or 'white equality' there'd be no reason to splinter into a group or subculture like that

    That's not something to be proud of

    The term feminism is too diverse to answer that precisely. For most it is a kind of political ideology. Political ideologies have much incommon with "faith", but they are not exactly the same.

    He mysteriously failed to respond to my question, you left out a whole lot of other definitions of the word. Why?

    Neither "feminism" nor "faith" has a single meaning nor model. Im not a screeching harpie, and I can be both egalitarian and feminist.

    But then all these anti-female rant-posts are about him, not about feminism.

    ...because we all know that gender studies 'academics' are paragons of probity-right???

    A devastating blow for “Gender Theory”: the Nordic Council of Ministers (a regional inter-governmental co-operation consisting of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland) has decided to close down the NIKK Nordic Gender Institute. The NIKK had been the flagship of “Gender Theory”, providing the “scientific” basis for social and educational policies that, from the 1970s onward, had transformed the Nordic countries to become the most “gender sensitive” societies in the world.

    In his documentary, Mr. Eia just went, in the company of a camera team, and asked some innocent questions to the leading researchers and scientists of the NIKK. Then he took the replies and brought them to leading scientists in other parts of the world, notably in the UK and the US, asking them to comment on the findings of their Norwegian peers. As was to be expected, the results of the Norwegian bogus science provoked amusement and incredulity among the international scientific community – especially because it was based on mere theory, never supported by any empirical research. Mr. Eia filmed those reactions, went back to Oslo, and showed them to the NIKK researchers. It turned out that, when confronted with empiric science, the “Gender Researchers” were speechless, and completely unable to defend their theories against the reality check.

    What is more, the bogus was exposed to ridicule in front of the entire TV audience, and people began to ask why it was necessary to fund with 56 million Euro of taxpayers’ money some ideology-driven “research” that had no scientific credentials at all.

    I'm not, "anti-female," as I've said numerous times in responses to your accusations that I'm a mysoginist, I'm anti-female, ec cetera, ec cetera. Being an advocate for human rights for everyone does not make one a mysoginist despite feminist logic that claims so.

    I used that definition because it is the definition that's most applicable to feminism.

    Calling yourself a feminist today is like someone calling themselves a flapper today-both terms are anachronistic and meaningless in the modern world. When someone calls themselves a feminist today, what they usually mean is they're a female supremacist, and less often they mean they're an egalitarean. If you believe discrimination is wrong when it effects either gender, you're an egalitarean. If you believe something like the gender achievment gap in education is an achievement, rather than a problem, you're a female supremacist.

    Look up the definition of, "prejudice"

    I'm not prejudiced.

    ...and remember ad-hominen attacks are the last bastion of a position that cannot withstand scrutiny :wink:

    Good that you realize that this concept exists. Now apply it to your attitude toward those you label as feminists.
