I’m not your typical feminist. I don’t like the word, I don’t like what I see when I hear feminism.
I am convinced that men and women are different, physically as well as psychicologically. I believe that having two sexes doesn’t necessarily mean that there are only two genders. I don’t think that we should attach value to this. For me, those are facts.
Therefore, sex or for that matter gender are hugely important because they define who you are (of course not alone, there are a hundred thousand other factors). But there’s no reason at all to make a disadvantage out of one of them. There also should be no automatic advantage attached to one of them.
The world isn’t like that. I know. It bugs me. A lot.
But… and that’s a huge but… mostly when feminists appear somewhere, they don’t want to make women equal in worth to men but they want men to be equal in worth to women. As women are mostly perceived inferior, that’s not exactly what I want. I don’t want to put men down until they are on the same value level as women, I want to put women up.
I don’t think that not voting for Hillary Clinton is anti-feminist. Voting’s about politics, not sex.
I do think that punishing women for being the ones to carry out children is anti-feminist.
Punishing women for being the ones to carry out children and then complaining about low birthrates (and blaming feminism) is just plain stupid.

Hmm ..well said.
In defense of feminism: Go check out my reading list.
You’re sort of reflecting much of the bad stuff anti-feminists have been propagating about the second wave…
Btw – worth is not a zero sum game. It’s relative + subjective. The only reason women are perceived as inferior is because men are perceived as superior. If you could have both (and all other genders) at the same level, there would be no such thing (Inferior to what?).
I know that not all of feminsim is “bad”. I’m just wary of the word.
regarding worth: I’m not talking about the result. The result in both cases is that men and women & whoever are worth equally as much. I’m talking about the process of getting there. You can either make women value more until they are the same or you can make men value less. I chose the first option. That’s what I meant with that.
