And re; the why we need feminism/it strictly being women rights, there was a story in the paper a few weeks ago, i saw a woman had attacked a man, (bitten his ear off, or bottled him and he'd lost his eye sight in one eye or something equally bad) anyway, she'd been previously arrested 17 times and had numerous convictions for assault, and this case went to court, despite there being however much evidence the woman was let off with a caution, and i'm pretty sure if that had been a man, he'd have been sentenced to a pretty lengthy stretch in prison. Because men and women aren't viewed as equal, she got away with something horrendous

ik, I'm saying that if for any reason I did call myself a feminist, it would be over the way things are in other places, rather than what they are like here. But if feminism really is gender equality, then yeah, I'd say i was

I agree, I totally think she should have been given a long sentence for that. I actually know a woman like that who needs locked away for good. She keeps getting custody of her kids when she is truly awful. So yeah, we see eye to eye on that. I just didn't think modern day 'feminists' believed that. It's nice to see that all the feminsts on here arent bat **** crazy. My cousin is like that. She blames men for everything and I just cringe with everything she says. I dont think she realises that she does more damage than good.
