That's a harder sell, since a vast majority of us (all?) see this as horrid victimization of children.

Yeah, but the reason they at not already equal is patriarchy. So you wish patriarchy did not exist.

You would gain a small amount of credibility in debates about feminism, because you would have a better understanding of what it is and why it exists.

Patriarchy only doesn't exist for most black families, and look how they turned out...
We can only trll it like it is. No political correctness.

Actually , the reason they are not equal is fixed gender roles.
Patriarchy is just one of them.
Toughie.
Is it 9 1 1?

It is a terribly named concept that talks about gender equality and tries to end injustice towards women.
We disagree in the terribly named part but we agree on the rest. Will those videos change my perspective about the name?
That is what we are talking about. If feminism died tomorrow, people would still fight for women's rights, just under a new name or flag.
Hopefully one that by correct branding would even be way more efficient and would easily garner more support.
I had hoped this thread would have an actual intelligent debate here.
The closest I personally got was with Revoltingest. Otherwise, we got some dudes arguing over what sexy women look like, that feminists look gross, and that if I call that shallow, that I'm called shallow for saying so. Seriously, my kids stopped doing that when they were 7.
Talk about a disappointing thread. Instead of actually talking about if feminism is needed in the U.S., we got a dude admitting he's just trolling and a couple others who think that's okay.
I give props to Rev for providing at least something from the other side of the debate.
I wouldn't mind seeing a feminist DIR either. These kinds of threads are getting old really fast.

That guy? Wouldn't bang. His face is too lopsided.

While we're waiting, we should go into all the threads about men having ideas and refuse to comment on anything other than how they look and dress and whether or not we would bang them.

Lol. Ok. Is there some sort of feminist code book or constitution or something? Because id there isn't then it'll end up like Occupy Wallstreet, where people some with their own weird agendas and ruin the whole movement.

No please!
I was surprised to see another so soon after the last. (I knew it would go the same way.)
A DIR might pose tough access control, since many who identify as not feminist would share your values.
Note: I'm far more on your side than the other side.

I got my word's mixed up. Sorry about that. If women were already equal then there would be no need for feminism. But I know there is a reason for feminism.
It would be nice to discuss topics about feminism - like what is being done about FGM, trafficking, fair wages, VAWA, etc. - without constantly having to define over and over and over and over again what feminism actually is in the first place. Much less have to defend its very existence.
