This is a serious Q - I notice that most women make a point of saying 'I think x,y,z..but I am NOT a feminist'..also notice that many male posts treat the social movement with utter contempt..
FTR - there is a huge diversity of opinion within the feminist movement but most are also interested in other kinds of injustice too.. it is not about hating men or thinking women are right all the time.. it is about hating the way women are sometimes treated knowing that not all women are oppressed.. or to the same extent..
Issues like the 40,000,000 missing girl children in China, the 10,000,000 in India..are those feminists campaign for or the fact that 12,000 Russian women are killed by their partner each year and domestic abuse is so common they have a saying 'if he doesn't hit you - he doesn't love you'.. or the fact that over 90% of cases of rape which have enough evidence to go to court do not lead to a conviction..the list is endless but just wondered why the contempt?
