Ik this question has been asked on this sub before, but times have changed and so has a lot of things. So what is Feminism?

I'll just paraphrase Danny Duchamp:

"Feminism: the political advocacy for equal rights for women, coupled with the unquestionable, dogmatic assumption that men are always privileged/advantaged over women, evidence be damned, concealed, suppressed and/or falsified if it ever contradicts the core assumption that men are privileged/advantaged over women."

A purported equality movement that is just chronically, pathologically blind to anything that may ever disadvantage men or advantage women ultimately ends up being a de facto supremacy movement.

The Nazi party was defined as The national socialist worker’s party, but obviously that doesn’t accurately describe what the Nazis were really about or did. A movement is what a movement does.

Major U.S. feminist organizations have lobbied for laws that favor women and discriminate against men. They have won laws that favor women in education, in job hiring, in business ownership, in healthcare, in how domestic violence is handled, etc. Similarly, they push biased practices and push anti-male propaganda.

That’s what feminism is. It’s proven so time and time again.

Wikipedia:

Feminism is a range of socio-political movements and ideologies that aim to define and establish the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes.

Just a note, the list of the equalities they supposedly "aim to establish" doesn't contain "legal equality", or "equality before the law". I sarcastically wonder why.

Feminism holds the position that societies prioritize the male point of view and that women are treated unjustly in these societies.

They "hold the position", no matter what happens in reality. And that position is based on gender stereotypes (italics in the quote above).

Efforts to change this include fighting against gender stereotypes and improving educational, professional, and interpersonal opportunities and outcomes for women.

It explicitly says that feminists only fight for better outcomes for women.
It's explicitly specified that fighting is necessary, but it will never be won, and the best they can do is "efforts to change".

"Fighting against gender stereotypes" is also mentioned. Which is weird since someone can't be a feminist if they don't believe in said stereotypes.

So feminists have to fight eternally (3) by improving outcomes for women only (2), because of the stereotypes they hold as their position (1).

Effectively, it means that feminism sees women as 1st class citizens, and so protecting their interests is fair, unlike protecting men's interests, which is unfair.

And at the same time they claim that they "aim to define ... equality of the sexes" and that they "fight gender stereotypes".

But again, North Korea claims to be a "People's Democratic Republic", and putin claims that his army "liberates" Ukrainian cities from a "Nazi regime".

Usual woke abuse only targeted at men.
