I just find it difficult to start going there on here out of fear that it might sounds like I am agreeing with Trutho, which I am not, because in his hatred of feminism Truth veers strongly into misogyny.

Essentially what I think about feminism is quite easily summed up; if you seek equality with the average western male... For **** sake... Aim a little higher! I can just imagine the end result of feminism being like "Hooray! We did it! True gender equality. Hey wait a minute, this is still crap???"

Gender politics, race politics, right/left politics, all battlegrounds designed to stop the average person focusing on true human equality. Busy worker bees buzzing about things that the true people in power (hint: penis irrelevant), honestly, don't give a **** about, so long as we don't start buzzing at them.

I find the word "feminism" to be unhelpfully divisive to the point that I sometimes suspect it was specifically designed to be that way. A loaded word that supposedly pursues equality. It's a paradox.

Well i've been saying this for ages.Just in different words.
