Several people asked that I repost this as a separate thread. So here it is...

Feminism is the bizarre belief that men and women are exactly the same except for reproductive organs, despite abundant scientific evidence to the contrary.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that throughout recorded history, men have set about to oppress women despite males having their first and most intense emotional bonds with women -- their mothers.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that "benevolent sexism" -- the desire by men to protect women and make sure they are happy -- is a minor hiccup in the patriarchy.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that male "power" is being forced to fight and die in wars to protect women, and to work incredibly dangerous jobs to provide for women.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that despite the presence throughout history of female tradesmen, female scientists, female authors, female artists and female sweatshop workers, women have been "denied the right to work" and "denied the the right to own property."

Feminism is the bizarre belief that "women have been denied the right to vote throughout history" -- even though men have also been denied said right, and were nevertheless expected to fulfill civic duties, including fighting and dying in wars, an obligation to which women have yet to be subjected.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that men are "sexually powerful" and privileged even though women are the gatekeepers to sex.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that male leaders are uniquely violent and immoral, despite Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, and hundreds of other cruel, war-mongering female rulers.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that the sex who has to work more is more privileged than the sex who has to work less.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that women were historically oppressed in the same manner as eg early trade unionists, even though the latter group died in the tens of thousands to secure the right to organize; conversely, when women got together and demanded female-specific rights, they were simply given them without a drop of bloodshed.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that the "micro-aggression" of men sitting comfortably on the subway is more important than male genital mutilation, male suicide, male health, male employment, male victims of domestic violence and rape, male education, male parental rights etc.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that female sexual selection plays no role in male behaviour and "toxic masculinity."

Feminism is the bizarre belief that power only resides with people who hold office -- not, say, corporations or women's lobbies.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that women held no power in history, even though they were able to pass laws that favoured women over men by all male legislatures.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that women continue to hold no institutional power even though there are billions more resources devoted to female-specific programs than male-specific programs.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that it's very important to achieve sexual parity in boardrooms but not in dangerous and dirty jobs.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that feelz before realz.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that women should be "equal" and also have special privileges; equal rights with unequal responsibilities.

Feminism is the bizarre belief that men have some sort of desire to wage a war against women. 150 years after Seneca Falls, we've decided enough is enough; we do intend to fight back, and we won't stop until we achieve real equality, which will be an enormous step down for women, but for the best of all concerned in the long run.
