Better does not mean equal or commensurate.

I’m no longer feminist, I’m a realist.

So, you think gendered norms are okay, that it's okay to pay women less for equal work, that women must stay home with the kids, can be fired for being pregnant, must take her husband's last name and can be denied body autonomy? Wow.

Gendered norms exist for a simple reason, they are axiomatic to life because life is created and birthed by the female species. Every single thing regarding gender relations bows to this single fact.

Can we be friends irl? I’m so exhausted of being expected to be a smaller less hairy man.

Men and women can be equally valuable without being equal.

What sort of Orwellian doublethink is this?

If men and women were equal, we would see women regularly beating males in athletic competitions. We’d also see them raping and assaulting at similar rates as males.

Of course neither of these things are true and never will be.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that men and women are biologically the same.

Yeah, not a single feminist has denied there are biological difference between genders. That's science. Feminism is about social constructs that disadvantage one gender in favor of another, usually male.

If there were gender equality, women would receive equal pay for equal work, medical and safety study would be inclusive of women, women would not disproportionately be living in poverty, they would not disproportionately be victims of DV, Congress and CEOs would not be disproportionately male, and, probably most egregious, they would have body autonomy.

This is a strange topic since women over the last 20+ years are doing much better than men economically, financially, educationally, and socially. I think we should be more concerned with how men are doing than women for now.

Very tall, physically strong

What is feminism? I think you need to answer that first.

Lol! You don't know the difference between biology and sociology. Having the capacity to gestate has nothing to do with gendered norms. If it did, post menopausal women and women without uteri would be treated differently than the fecund.

Um, they are. What rock do you live under?

Ha! And I suppose Hillary Clinton was treated with the utmost respect and acknowledgement of her intellect and accomplishments?

Did you make a typo? Your train of thought is confusing and contradictory.

What the problem with being a 'feminist'?

As a radical feminist, I believe that men can’t be feminists, but can be allies.

My lived experience is that men who call themselves feminists are usually sexists.

Yes, don’t slut-shame or inquire about body count, call older women “hags” or comment negatively on body size. Be gracious in your description of ex-girlfriends/wives.

And absolutely avoid any/all porn. View media which empowers women. Celebrate women’s accomplishments. Acknowledge the pervasive oppression of the ongoing patriarchy.
