I'm just saying that some (not all ) feminists have a weird superiority complex and they seem to want special treatment . And they treat men exactly how they themselves WOULDN'T want to be treated .

Listen I support fighting against sexism but only when it actually exists.
Yeah, this argument gets used quite a bit during discussions regarding whether or not feminism has gone too far. The simple answer is that they're not feminists. Special treatment is not what feminism is about at all. The sooner we can all accept that, the sooner we can all stop assuming that actual feminists are the same as them, and conjuring up criticisms that do not apply to them.

I know that's why they're called "feminazi's" because they abuse the true meaning of feminism. I still don't like the word feminism but that's my preference.

However I'm a woman that supports equal rights for both genders absolutely. And I hear stories of women feeling pressured for example to wear high heels in the work place , things like that shock and get me angry .

If I was in that situation I'd tell the person to F off if they were making it mandatory to wear high heels etc then I'd quit the job and complain, it's 21st century not the 1950's with pointy bra's .

By all means sensible shoes ,and appropriate clothing. But there's some women that can't wear heels for medical reasons .

Yeah the fact they're uncomfortable is enough reason. But there is some women who have other problems etc that's why I said medical reasons. And no I'm female what made you think otherwise?? .
