a feminist is an advocate of equality for women. Are you, yourself, not a feminist??
Not, I am =not= a feminist, I'm more interested in equality for BOTH men and women alike. Why can't feminists understand equality means equality, NOT selective equality?

Sarah - judging by your ignorance, I'm glad you don't answer many of my questions.
"There is no systematic oppression of people like him"
Ever heard of Child Scam Agency, divorce, family courts, Affirmative Action, VAWA, etc?
Indeed.

We only have problems in the area of equality when we don't actively enforce equality standards.
Liberals are fond of saying we need this thing or that thing to make things more equal.
MORE EQUAL???
The term equal is an absolute. Either something is equal or it isn't. It cannot be more equal or less equal.
What this is all about is how some things are relative to other things.
When Liberals propose giving an advantage to this group or that group they are by the very act of making such proposals advocating the placing those not in their favored group at a disadvantage. It cannot be otherwise. They either don't recognize this basic fact or it is more important to them to gain political favor from their proposals than it is to strive for genuine equality.
Genuine equality requires the inclusion of everyone, not favortism to just a favored few.

Yes, I am a proud feminist because I believe all genders should have the same rights, respect and opportunities. I hate how people think feminists "really" want to put women above men by getting special privileges, but these people clearly have no idea what they're talking about. Women being paid the same as men for the same work is not a special privilege. Getting parental leave and parental rights is not special-- what about men who want to be stay-at-home dads? Having a legal structure that actually catches and punishes rapists and domestic abusers is not gender defined-- what about men who are assaulted or abused? But people continue to make these claims out of their own bitterness; apparently they think there's only so many rights to go around.

I'm an anti-feminist; meaning I do not believe in equality, no not even selective equality. The world to me is completely black and white there are no shades of grey.

As a feminist, my interest is in equality of women with men. Men enjoy higher status (although they also have far more stress due to the expectation that they KEEP that status), and I would simply like to see the playing field equaled out. I am NOT interested in women overtaking the level of priviledge men have...I just want THE SAME. Meaning, total equality.

You're both a feminist and a masculist; humanism is just a combination of the two.

No, I cetainly am not a feminist (nor a mangina). Feminism is a hypocrisy.
I'm an equalist, believing that [quote] men and women are born different but equal, are of equal worth, and are deserving of fair treatment under just laws. [/quote] Equalism will eventually consign feminism into the dustbins of history where it belongs.
Equalism is not just about equality, it is also the search for truth. Equalism believes that if an injustice is done you should fight against injustice regardless of the person's sex. Feminism is gender-based and parochial whilst equalism takes a wider view.
[George B] Excellent observation

Yes I believe that all women should be equal with one another if that's what they want. I mean the only really practical way for that to happen is if they all earn the same wage - nothing - as a housewife, but whatever they want.
So I guess if feminism means equality for women, then I'm a feminist.

men that go to family court typically have difficutly in relationships. most men, in fact, can handle the negotiations with their wives regarding child custody without ever having to see a judge. they also have no gripes in visting their children, not arguing in front of their kids, and paying for their well-being.
it's the maladjusted ones that typically hate family court and laws that protect men and women from violence.
it's the maladjusted ones who want 'equality with a vengeance' - kind of like, take that you *!@ bee-atch
anyway, shame is, many battered men ARE getting custody rights to their kids.
truth is, these guys put father's rights before kids rights.
there are some good guys trying to get more time with their kids - and they will - as long as they are constructive.
