"feminism today"

When I Googled feminism , the top three links I get are Wikipedia, Merriam-Webster, Oxford dictionaries. Most of the rest are fairly innocuous too, so I wonder what links are you talking about that are so offensive?

Imo feminism is equality in getting the job done. When it comes to sex? Different can of worms. Until men are rapists. Then we we're on the same page.

I am a strong woman. The kind my husband was looking for. I am not a princess, nor a child-like girl that felt she needed to be taken care of once she was out of the control of her daddy. I am an equal contributor to our household…and then some. I have worked a full-time job (sometimes 3) my entire life. I still passionately love my husband; adore our child, and our elderly parents which we also care for. It’s a partnership. Just as my husband did not seek out a weak woman, I did not want a man that I could wear on the bottom of my shoe. Call me a ball-busting feminist if you want, but my husband would challenge you to the contrary. We are and have been a team for more than 30 years, and neither of us would change a thing.

Feminists can have the weak men. We don't want them on our construction sites. It becomes unproductive.

Oh no, you didn't.
You didn't!

You've opened up the "real men" statement. Prepare for a s :cuss: t load tonne to land on you.
Unless no one cares about statements like this anymore.
Maybe everyone is just baked by the heat.
Hopefully.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

So a man who is a feminist, and is in a relationship with a feminist is a weak man?? Sure, sure... I'll inform my hard working, feminist boyfriend that he is unproductive at work because someone on the internet said so lol.

I'd say a man who is able to respect their significant other, and believes and treats they are an equal in the relationship, in the family, and in their career etc is a pretty strong person.

Extra points if they don't need to come online and try to brag about their strength on construction sites...

Interesting enough, all links are about the dark side of the new feminist's.
Ah, nothing in that post that says anything about an offensive emotion?

The first 4 are articles written by other women as most the others.
1)“If you look at the feminist discourse that’s most prominent on the surface and in mainstream media, it’s very focused on the individual and the superficial,” says Meghan Murphy.
2)almost a century after the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified, many so-called feminist lobbies and leaders no longer promote the political interests of American women, but instead promote leftist policies.
3)WOMEN TODAY: NEW FEMINISM VERSUS OLD
4)The new feminism, which is not really feminism at all, is by Crispin’s telling as shallow as a martini, and a good deal less good for you:

That many have been their intention, but this is a direct quote:
Well, I think most see feminism the way a google search shows it.

I therefore think that googling feminism is appropriate. Adding qualifiers to it just pollutes the results. I'm sure if one searched for "feminazi", "feminist haters", etc. you would get negative results too.

If one needs to googly, clueless on the first place. Only real men...hahaha I Just said that...
Already know what it means... because we respect our
Other halves and the value they bring to our lives. "Feminism" is a direct result of misogyny. Christ, boys, know who has your back! And it ain't your flakey drinking buddy.

Neither. You see, in the meantime, real women who don't need a label/title in order to feel capable/strong are actually getting things done.

Thankfully with feminism, we all win.

And many men and women who are getting things done are happy to adopt the label, not for their own benefit but for the benefit of others. Almost nobody adopts the label of feminist for their own benefit because there are still fools out there who think of feminism as a threat to them and their masculinity. It is rarely beneficial to the feminist to be seen as one.
