How do you feel about modern feminism?
With people and events revolving around feminism in recent popular culture, it's hard not to have an opinion on the matter. Feminism has sparked things like gamer gate, Anita Sarkeesian, a Super Bowl commercial, and even getting the president to spout pro-feminism rhetoric in the state of the Union address.
So what do you think of the topic?

(The following information are my thoughts on feminism nowadays, in no way am I trying to -blam!-, oppress, harass or threaten anyone) I think that feminism has gotten kind of ridiculous. Please don't send me to jail.

It's not real feminism. Feminism should be equal rights for women. Not women being put above men. Even my grandmother of 69 years of age(hurr hurr) says modern feminism isn't real feminism.

I find most women who identify themselves as feminists are in truth sexist. I'm female, btw. Feminism used to be about fairness. The right to vote, equal pay for equal work. Now it's about political power. Instead of equality it's about advantage. Men who mistreat women deserve to be shamed. Men do not deserve to be shamed for being male.

Edited by Parvenu Walrus: 11/9/2015 11:33:39 AMAs a white male I can't have an opinion, I'd be crucified by modern feminists. [spoiler]But in all seriousness its really bad. It just seems illogical. The surest way to get someone to disagree with you is to be on one side of an argument. Why not fight for human rights? There are things women have that men don't, and vice versa, so why only be on one side? [/spoiler]

I think the main problem with modern feminism is that it wants women to be "small men, only better." It should instead acknowledge and respect differences. Millions of years of evolution don't vanish because of decades of marches and speeches.

Shoot anyone supports it.

My girlfriend and I both support females and want to see all discrimination end. Racial, sexual, sexist, all of it. But if someone wears an asshole feminism shirt or adamantly supports asshole feminism, I get angry, and I show I'm angry. Thats one of the very few things in this world that pisses me the -blam!- off.

It's hypocritical, sexist and no longer needed.

When women have to register for selective service I'll pay more attention.

In a forum filled with mostly men. Lets see how this plays out.

I just hate hardcore feminist.

What's this "pay inequality" that some feminists preqch? Last I checked, pay is the same. The only reason why men do get paid more is because statistics show that they work more hours and work harder. Which leads to bonuses and wage increase. They earned that. You don't earn jack for simply having a vagina.

I hate modern feminism, they basically took what feminism used to be, and warped it into something hateful.

Truth be told, I don't understand current feminism. We have equal rights as of now.
-
I just wish more women of today understood that feminism is [i]not[/i] a synonym for radical-matriarch enthusiasts
-
Stay a male. We don't need any more bronies or little girls that are adult men.

Make kill

I would state my opinion but since I'm a guy I wouldn't have an opinion or it'd somehow be sexist according to feminism. That's my opinion.

Burn it. We have equal rights now, and anyone that legitimately thinks otherwise is insane.

We already outlawed the Nazí party. Put the Feminist party right next to them.

Most modern feminists should just leave.
