My opinion on feminism has changed and morphed over time. I personally do not identify as a feminist EVEN THOUGH I fit the criteria. Now before anyone jumps down my throat I'm going to explain why very briefly. Do I believe women should be equal entirely to men? Yes. Are there men's issues that feminism often puts to one side and ignores? Certainly. Do I believe there are areas of society where women have not yet reached that equality? Yes...but, there needs to be more focus from modern feminism on the countries where women really are being systematically oppressed. I do not believe that in Western countries, women are experiencing that same oppression.
[quote="Braveheart"]What? Maternity leave 1.5 years? Here is only total 8 weeks. 4 weeks after, 4 weeks before giving birth. Also equal pay act. Ha. Only apply to USA...[/quote]
This implies that things are unfair in Braveheart's country, why is feminism not doing more about that?
I'm going to put my hands up and say it that I don't like the word feminism. It is exclusionary of a whole gender from the get-go. I also do not like SJW movement that seems to go hand in hand with the ideology, I get the feeling they want to control everything around them and when someone says something they don't agree with, they want to censor them and force them out of the internet space. The kind of people that think
this is a bigger problem than the sterilisation of women in India (which I believe was occurring at the same time).
