I believe for the most part men and women are equal. Genetics make us physically superior to one another in different ways...men are stronger women are more flexible. But just in Yahoo! Answers I see so many proclaimed feminists saying that women are superior and they are more successful in life, more intelligent and have greater potential then men etc... Im not here to argue for or against that Im just saying that a feminist who says that is just as bad a a chauvinistic man who says men are the superior gender. Agree? Disagree? Thoughts...

For those "feminists" who say "women are superior and they are more successful in life, more intelligent and have greater potential then men" I would say most feminist don't think like that. They just have an open mind that women can be just as good, and even better than men at a lot of things.
I'm someone who thinks someone's abilities really depend on the person and not their gender.

those men are hero's! To all you offended feminists you are the rationalization chivalry is ineffective yet yet you prefer to be taken care of the comparable. i visit tell you this in case you're able to desire to spend some days as a guy you will possibly exchange your tone and rapid. people cope with a alluring female plenty extra effectual than any guy fairly a gruesome one. So in case you prefer the equality of being taken care of like **** and paying for each and every little thing choose for it i'm hoping you hit upon it. So if a guy does open a door for you purely say thank you and walk by means of yet while your a b:tch approximately it then that men outlook in direction of women people is extra hateful and could cope with women people worse working example in no way establishing a door for them back.

I'm sure a few people who call themselves feminists act inappropriately, just like some who call themselves anti-feminists or masculinists act out. But I noticed you didn't quote one self-proclaimed feminist male or female who believes that women are superior; that's because feminists believe in equality between the genders, not superiority. Some radicals may have some wacky ideas, but there aren't many of them. I get really irritated at people who call themselves feminists who know little about it, use the tenets of feminism when it's convenient to them, and act like a creep when it's inconvenient to act like a feminist. They're not feminists, they're jerks.

To be honest there both as bad as each other! Feminists think women are better, and masculists think men are better then women. No gender is better then the other were all human beings who make mistakes.

disagree- women have to be more vocal in voicing out against years of discrimination of being thought of as automatically inferior only because of their gender. To change the male mindset to even accomodate this thought one has to at every instant drive home the fact that women can be as good or even superior. Maybe after years of such indoctrination and after the playing fields being fair for a century or two, whereby women make enough of a difference having been given equal oppurtunities for a long length of time, one maynot need to be so vocal

It's about as bad as people that are intolerant of gays, blacks, people of certain religions... and believe that they have a real time agenda...best to just stay away from such individuals...they are sick and nothing but a problem.
I hope this helped...especially in a job situation.
It's freaky what "Feeling Guilty " said at the same time I did.
Mind Reader? ...or just what's really happening!

Of course, which is why a lot of them disgust me. I do not tolerate the rants of chauvinistic men, so why on earth would I tolerate chauvinistic women?

We're all just people. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Women pounding their chests declaring their power, blacks declaring their power, whites declaring their power, Serbs, Croats, Iraqis, whoever... Why can't we all just be people? As soon as ANYONE declares that they are different or special doesn't that make them racist, sexist, or seperatist? We'll all be better served when we look at ourselves as one people. Unfortunately people are profiting (Al Sharpton, etc.) by drawing lines between people and sewing discord among people. Believe in God and believe in eachother. Eventually people will get it right.

Check out the book Female Chavuinist Pigs. It sounds heavy-handed; although it is thoughtful, its also sadly funny.

I disagree. Feminists want equality, chauvinists don't.
