Why We Still Need Feminism

[Tycoon]

Sorry but your dictionary is from the 1800s. Yeah compliments used to be polite and dont have yelling in them.
If youre really annoyed by that, being a feminist isnt your #1 problem

i wouldn't take yelling in the street as a compliment nowadays
and being a feminist isn't a problem for me, period

Difference in opinions, obviously.

the definition of compliment was taken from typing define compliment into google though

Well if i type "nazis" in google ill probably get some results about the most badass war uniforms ever made.
I believe you get the metaphor

First off, what rights are denied to women in western culture on basis of inequality of the sexes?
Sorry if that wasn't worded in the best way, but that was the best way I could word it.

Secondly, we do need more females working in politics. This is not deniable, but I believe this is a problem with not enough females wanting to get into political roles. This can be changed of course through programs that encourage more females involved in politics. But this is not necessarily a problem that can be used as a reason for feminism to still be needed as females are able to get these roles/jobs therefore it is not an issue of female rights.

its not so much of their rights being denied, its more of discrimination. I mean black people aren't denied any rights or protections but they have to work harder to reestablish that they have those rights and are entitled to those rights, and because they have to do that, they are discriminated. Same for women, obviously not on the same level, that'd be completely ignorant to say.

and Shadow00, again, your analogy is terrible. Just because someone has a badass uniform doesn't mean that the group with the badass uniforms are good people who did right in the world. That won't make people think, "damn, i agree with everything principle you and your leaders have introduced to the world, therefore i will join the cause of fascism"

Was never famed for good analogies. If i were to pick a side in a war tho, badass uniforms count.
We have discrimination against immigrants after 3000 years of immigration.
We have discrimination of people of different colour, homosexuals etc, we have discriminations against women.
Look at the fun side of things.
None are bound to end soon SIMPLY CAUSE people discriminate as long as they think freely.
Want EVERYONR to not discriminate? Lobotomy.
I aint even against lobotomy as a treatment.
Make a law and lobotomise anyone that discriminates for all i care

Yh wtf so bad so much harassment wtf men never got thru a 1\100th of that !! I think it should be a federal crime to street harass women like prob like 10yr+ in jail would be suitable.

Well, then based on Tyc's definition of feminism.

feminism: noun
the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

Feminism has achieved it's goal and is no longer pursuing its goal. Meaning it is therefore not needed.

emphasis
if women are being discriminated against, there isn't equality. plain as day.
