I don't hate women, I hate feminism.
What do you think feminism means, and why do you hate it?

I don't hate women, I hate feminism.

Yeah, and I’m a dirty feminist, remember.

The definition of feminism is:- the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

What is wrong with that?

I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

The more important question was NS's - what is HWB's understanding/definition of feminism such that he hates it.

Well he said that feminism is a dirty word to him. Given that he’s called me a feminist I’m assuming that it is a word he applies to people that disgust him.

Not that that is helpful in understanding what he thinks a feminist actually is, or does.

Being a feminist is not restricted to women. My daughter tells me that I am a feminist - and I think that she is right.

Feminism is the belief that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men. It’s the belief that being a woman shouldn’t make you a second class citizen.

What is there to hate about that?

If posters wish to debate this secondary discussion, may I politely suggest a new thread?
