Feminism is about equality, except for the many ways it's not

Where is Feminism advocating for actual equality? Maybe I'm too MRA but I can't think of a single instance. Before you cite something like the pay gap, please remember that I'm asking about actual equality, not make-believe talking points.

The project, which was started in Brighton on the south coast of Britain, runs a set of centers that organize community rehabilitation facilities for female offenders. The lobbying carried out by this group is in favor of this approach being employed on a wide scale, as they claim it has proven very effective.

So this group is lobbying for legislative change that will secure their funding? I'm sure moral concern is their top priority!

This is the best thing to happen for equality in a while.

Feminists are tepid about releasing this into the mainstream, because they know it will expose them at a level unseen before.

Good, let people see feminism for what it truly is. It is nearly impossible for any rational (non-feminist) person to read this nonsense and not be immediately swayed and disgusted by the audacity of feminism.

Women should be kept out of prison...as should men. Prison has been shown to be inefficient and ineffective in pretty much every significant way. The prison population would probably be something like 1/4 of what it is if we had meaningful rehabilitation and prevention.

I don't think it's about equality at all. I think feminism is about EMPOWERING women and giving them more social agency. Originally it was considered that this would help to drive females towards equality. But the movement itself was never strictly speaking ABOUT equality.

This drives towards empowerment is why feminism has gotten so out of control and why it has become such a dangerous and hostile ideology.

How about "keep non-violent offenders out of prison" and provide sufficient rehabilitation services for them? Less men AND women in prison. Win-win.

If you think this represents inequality, then why don't you do something about it. I don't read anything about blocking a community rehabilitation facility for men. Just because women are helping women, doesn't mean men can't help men.

So, all the men that are outraged about this article, I challenge you to support the various groups that are helping men get jobs after being in jail. Regardless of where you live, there is a local group trying to help men stay out of prison. Also, lobby your politicians regarding unfair drug laws and mandatory sentencing. Don't just whine about women. Do something to help men.
