    You can't be both a Feminist and an Egalitarean. Egalitareans believe discrimination is wrong when it effects either gender. Feminists don't like men, and they believe Female>Male. The terms are diametrically apposed. Calling yourself an 'Egalitarean' and a 'Feminist' is like saying you're a Democrat and a Republican.

    Words usually have multiple meanings. Just because you use one definition of a word doesn't mean you have to use every definition of that word. For example (*)(*)(*) has multiple meanings, some completely unrelated to the other. I simply used the meaning of 'faith' that was most applicable to feminism. When people use one definition of a word, and they don't use the other definitions of the word it does not mean they are doing anything nefarious. It is just simply how 'words' work.

    For example I could use the word (*)(*)(*) in a nautical sense and it would be totally unrelated to one of the other definitions of (*)(*)(*) which is "to tire or weary by labor." The word (*)(*)(*) can even be a verb or a noun!

    (*)(*)(*)

    verb (used with object), fagged, ***·ging.

    As an 'egalitarean' I care about the rights of every human, regardless of their race or gender, and yes as a human myself, I care about my own rights.

    In other words, I believe discrimination is wrong when it effects either gender or any race, including my own race and gender-as unfashionable as they may be.

    You have your own invidious definition, but that just says what it says about you.

    I'm "anti," any supremacist hate movement, including "Feminism"

    My beliefs are supported by proof. What's the 'proof' that supports feminist theories?

    ...and by proof I don't mean anectodal evidence or feelings. I mean a study from a peer reviewed scientific journal.

    :roll:

    Then what's the proof for their theories? What's the proof for, "rape culture," for example?

    What does your query have to do, in any possible way, with feminism being a faith?

    I completely understand you are attempting to sideline the discussion and thus hijack the thread concept...but at least do so with something better than fabricated BS.

    LOL...I made the query. I'm the author of this thread-LOL. In the very first post to this thread I wrote, 'Faith' being defined as a belief that is not supported by proof.

    If you can't tell what my 'query' has to do with the original post, I don't know what to tell you.

    In the original post I asked, 'Is Feminism a Faith' then I said, 'Faith' being defined as a belief that is not supported by proof.'

    Then you said, 'Is feminism a faith? Obviously No"

    Then I asked, 'Then what's the proof for feminist theories? What's the proof for, 'rape culture' for example

    If you're unable to follow the logical response to your question, I don't know what to tell you-LOL

    ....and what 'fabricated BS' did I use? If you mean the story about the Nordic Gender Institute being closed as a result of using bogus science then you should watch the links I provided.

    Your claim that I used 'fabricated BS' is completely baseless. Either you didn't watch the video's and you make baseless claims or you're a liar-which doesn't surprise me at all coming from a Feminist.

    When did I ever make an, "anti-female rant post"-LOL Show me one anti-female statement I've ever made, or is this just another baseless lie by a feminist. :roll:

    Your statement that I'm, "anti-female," is ironic coming from a feminist who doesn't like men-LOL

    I've never said anything negative about females. To the contrary, I've said I love women. I love my Mom. I love my sisters, and I want the best for them, and Feminism is not in their best interests.

    :wink:

    Did I read where someone asked for proof of a theory? Followed by an eye-roll, but for whom doth the eye roll?

    You love women when they is nice but not when they gets uppity? Its best for them if they dont, you should know? They are so like children, needing poppas guidance.

    Could you honestly say you like tiger sharks, if there happened to be a hungry one approaching you?
    Would it help if you just didnt know if that one was hungry or not? Would your feelings of affection be in any way altered if one time a shark approached you and left you near death?

    I have a boyfriend, Im not categorically afraid of nor do I dislike all men.

    Lol and pretend to detect irony all you like.

    Pardon me, but please dont use my posts to try to intrigue against someone at this board. Yes, there is a lot of definition missing to answer the question precisely as I mentioned. But your abuse of my comment labelling individualists or humanists who oppose feminism as misogynists as a whole leaves a bad taste.

    Feminists have to resort to ad hominen attacks because they don't have any evidence to support their beliefs :wink:
