What is the main goal in feminism?

Question

If it is for equal sex power, should there be a masculinism also because the goal would be the same? Why don't we call it equalism? The title feminism seems sexist.

Answer 1

The goal of femininism is gender equality.

Everyone should be a feminist; or do you think you got to this Earth by being dropped from the sky? Respect your mother.

In the words of Margaret Cho, "you're either a feminist or an asshole".

Masculinism isn't required because men already rule most aspects of society, and equalism doesn't respect or reflect the fact that it is women who the down-trodden gender.

Answer 2

Like unions, child abuse laws, social security and public schooling, feminism is a noble idea that has been corrupted by people in power seeking self-aggrandizement. The original goal was simply equal opportunity in the economic world for both women and men. Now its pretty screwed up.

Answer 3

...good question. ... some good responses.

but i hear a few which are out of line and unfull of human realizations.

there is only one human purpose for feminism which makes any sense......and ms.cho would probably be yielding to this realization that women have been not well respected for their gifts and potential in which she would be quite accurate.

i fully agree...(hear..?...i agree!...now....please know that i am not afeminist...and i have done more to prove this than i would be respected for...just ask those in the secret know.) however....there are some very real issues which ms.cho may or may not have considered or is willing to explain. i don't know...but now that i know there is a ms.cho blanketing us would be ***-holes whom give these consideration i shall look for her material and give her a read. to find out.

but......feminism has value and make no mistake about. the very reality that these fine ladies have decided to take up arms and murder children and youth for religious differences and economic purpose should show her as much that perhaps feminism has no single purpose whatsoever if feminists fail (and they have failed miserably) to know what are the human attributes of feminism.

it is for the very reason that some women have separated their selves from the human race and natural world to know their gifts and potentials and to make this confirmed to others (in some small or large part....and by reasons and causes several) that feminism will possibly eradicate human rights as is now being proved out.

when feminists aborted human rights to lift themselves above the very male and female off-spring they manipulated to have their selfish needs met...then she crossed over into domains which threaten her very image and values.

but ..... she is not intelligent. she is with unfull realization. she is herself manipulated by greater intelligences to be adverse to humanity and for causes which render over power to those who are also with unfull realization.

thus.....the gifts and graces of feminism are unestablished. unrecognized. unkempt.

when she realizes that it is human to take up arms.
when she realizes that it is human to kill a child.
when she realizes that it is human to be angry at ideas or practices which seem to have negated her gifts and potentials...

she will wonder again what it is to be woman. by her humanness.

yes.....she is special.

so let us not let the angry misinformed and manipulative humans which say......" i have the right to kill children because i am equal to man.....so there!!!"....steal from feminisms their gifts and their graces.


let us help her (and ourselves) through this time of impudence and secret adversity of the misinformed and power-reaching.

let us discover together her gifts and potentials equally as humans.

before she kills our children with her animus and male counter-parts.


they whom get on her train are not all ways humanly appreciative of her human feminist graces.

now then..........will she care to relate according to what are her realizations what are these graces and gifts.?

please

be well all ways
