I was a feminist (a Guy). Now when I hear feminist I think "hippocrite ". Did I change or the definition?

Question

I know you don't know me to know if I changed but I would like others opinins>

Answer 1

The definition didn't change, but I think people's views on feminism has changed.
There are different types of feminists. A liberal feminist is a person who believes in the equality of women and men, especially in the workplace, etc. They don't believe that men and women should switch roles or anything like that.
Radical feminists tend to be more "radical." They don't believe that social inequality is the reason why women are oppressed. They believe that gender inequality is based on biology, and the only way to fix this oppression is to be separated from men completely.
Many people think that all feminists are the radical-type, when actually most feminists just believe in social equality for men and women. I'm guessing that this is where the confusion came from. I don't know, I hope this helped.

Answer 2

You do realise that Women are now boycotting the 'Feminist Movement' in favor of a "Women's Movement", don't You?
Huge numbers of Women have become totally and utterly demoralized as the result of having to come to terms with the knowledge that what was once a noble cause has now degenerated into a sham. Equality, Justice and the concept of 'Fair Play' were the watch words of the early activists. Today the battle cry is "I WANT IT ALL, AND I WANT IT NOW!". There was a time when women strove to achieve. Now a lot of them (especially the younger ones) demand that success be thrust upon Them us some form of reward for being born Female.
Political correctness was never politically correct. It was only ever a means by which blackmail, intimidation and extortion could be used as leverage for One's own self interest and gain.
Women who worked in factories, studied at night at the kitchen table (after doing 'house work' and caring for Their family's welfare), and made something of Themselves, and, for Themselves are today looked upon as failures because They didn't achieve enough to make life still easier for the Women who followed. The rampant hypocracy in the "non-sexist", "non-gender specific" Feminism Movement is Their insistance that the world actual owes Them a living because They are Women.
You can tell all the lies You want about men and nobody cares. But if You start to challenge Your own Feminist power base You soon find Yourself on the outside looking in.
Those of Us Males who supported the Women's Movement have watched it's foundations crumble under the weight of misandry and the self agrandisement of a few "leaders' and "spokespersons" with their own political aggend, and an eye for the "main chance".
Don't give up on the 'Girls' just yet. Most of Them are truely decent people who want nothing more that a fair go and a shot at the top job. Don't We all?

Answer 3

Personally, I never liked the word. Because it's an "-ism," I don't think it implies gender equality: the word either advocates the philosophy of women's superiority or the suffix turns a verb into a noun (feminize --> feminism). The etymology alone makes me deny being a feminist, but if someone were to ask me if I believe in equal rights and responsibilities regardless of gender, I say YES!

Answer 4

When I hear 'hippocrite' i think of dangerous animals of the African wilderness.
You didn't change a definition... inly a spelling
'hypocrite' is the word I think you're looking for...

Answer 5

I think it's sort of interesting that so many of the really extreme feminists seem to be more sexist than anyone.

Answer 6

well thet depends people change but so do meanings like mane a tigers maine or someones buddy

Answer 7

Femnazi's have taken over the feminist movement. It's a sham.

Answer 8

Feminists just believe that we are just as smart and just as capable as our male counterparts.

Answer 9

First, you didn't change the definition, you just screwed up the word. It is spelled hypocrite. I am blown away that you cannot spell the term you define yourself as.

Secondly, the definition of a feminist is an ugly woman in comfortable shoes who cannot get dates.

So, I guess no, you did not change the definition.

Answer 10

Don't think too much. It's not good for you.
