Your views on Feminism

Okay. I know why we needed feminism in the first place. Women needed the same socioeconomic opportunities as males. In most cases, we have overcome those needs a long time ago. What frightens me is that females tend to have the upperhand in divorce cases and child custody. The fact that female graduation rates from universities are higher than males, yet there are more programs that cater to females rather than males is sickening. The fact that domestic violence against males aren't considered as serious than it is the other way around is horrifying. We do need feminism, but as far as I'm concerned, we don't need it in the US, Canada, or UK. Places like Africa, India, China, and the Middle East needs feminism.

I mean, we still need it in the US, Canada and the UK because it's still a very important issue but I think it needs to equal out. Stuff like domestic violence whether it be physical or mental should be seen as equally wrong whether the assailant is male or female. In regards to business opportunities, men have the advantage hands down and I think that's wrong. Women have a hard time becoming CEO's of huge corporate companies for reasons such as child birth, parenting, etc whereas it's not as big of a pressure on men. There's also still a misconception that men are better CEO's than women. I agree though, we need to seriously educate the women of third world countries because once we educate them we'll really start to see change.

Dude, that's what feminists are fighting against. To get rid of all those gender roles so that there's equity. You're literally arguing and tearing down a group of people who are trying to change all the things you're concerned about. Equity Feminism, look it up. Not everyone is misandric. There's still huge disparities in the US against many genders. Obviously you know about the issues that are stacked against men but do you know that to this day women are paid less than men in the same position, holding the same job title, regardless of how well they do their jobs? Or that even now there are still stereotypes that women are worse than men in math so they shouldn't hold engineering jobs and whatnot? Or how about how in this society, we slut-shame like no other? If a woman gets raped, it's her fault because something she did made guys lose control over their penises. Actually I'm gonna give that one to the guys too. People think guys are so fragile that the glimpse of skin will turn them into ravaging, uncontrollable animals.

There is Feminism which Gender Equality I can recognize and understand what they are fighting for but the Radical Side of "All Men are Stupid Regardless" is a sub-group I cannot understand and annoys me.

I believe people should be equal but some feminists take it too far. Screwed up our law system a little bit too.
