All feminists want special priviledges?

Question

Is that statement a stereotype?

Answer 1

Yep just like the last question this too is a stereotype.

Answer 2

I can't say whether or not all feminist's want special privileges as I have not met all of them. But I do believe mainstream feminists do or else there would be equity in family courts and women would be recognized as just as abusive as males are [ which has been scientifically proven ..again and again] fathers would get equal time with their children the way it is now for the most part women get custody in disputed cases. I call that a privilege. Also women in the armed forces are not required to maintain the same level of fitness as the men which is detrimental to the military and male soldiers. I call that a privilege. Women can make false allegations of rape and abuse and when it's proven false [ as it is in over 60% of cases] without being jailed for it. That is a big priviedge. A woman gets a good portion of a mans future income in divorce even though most women have jobs. I would also call that a priviledge. So there it is there it is obvious that feminism is about domination by women which will never happen too many men and women are seeing it for what it is.

Answer 3

It's both stereotype and oversimplification, as has been said.

If taking on equal responsibilities, like registering for the Selective Service, is something I can do to prove that I want equal, not special, rights and privileges under the law, bring it on. I have absolutely no desire to serve in the Armed Forces, but I'd register for the draft if I had to do.

What I want to know is how many people say that women feminists want special privileges, but wouldn't dream of asking women to register for Selective Service or pass the Equal Rights Amendment. People like that seem a bit suspect to me.

Answer 4

It is a statement of fact.

If they want men and women to have the exact same rights AND responsibilities they are for equality, if not, they are sexist and opting for special privileges for their sex.

For the stupid, that means that men would have the right to walk away from a pregnancy without obligation just as a woman can abort the fetus.
It would also mean that the father can abandon the infant soon after birth, no questions asked and no responsibility given just as women are permitted.
It would also require DNA type matching of all newborns to prevent paternity fraud.
It would eliminate affirmative action and severely restrict sexual harassment suits.
It would require that men be judged fairly instead of by pre-judged on their sex when determining custody.
It would require child support to be based on costs instead of income.
It would eliminate alimony.
It would require that women, within 30 days of their 18th birthday register for selective service and be eligible for the draft if.. err.. when it is reinstituted.

Answer 5

Yes. It's a fairly commonly held belief that's false.

Most feminists do NOT want special privileges.

Answer 6

It's a sterotype. I'm a feminist, but I don't want special privledges. You are just hearing about the ones that do because they attract more attention.

Answer 7

Sure it is. A good many feminists would rather have equality in everything than be treated differently, positively or otherwise, on account of their sex.

Answer 8

On the contrary, feminists want equal rights for both men and women, NOT privileges (for either of them).

Answer 9

Not just a stereotype -also an oversimplification.

Answer 10

Feminist don't want equality. They want BOTH equality and special benefit. Greedy as hell if you ask me.
