I am a feminist. I think all modern women, to a certain extent, are feminists.
There are some inequalities that we cannot change - just as there are some things against men that they cannot change.
Feminism is not the campaigning for absolute control be handed over to women. Feminism is simply the campaigning for women's rights. Just simple things, like stopping women from being traded like possessions. Stopping violence against women. Preventing fear of women and a predjudiced dislike of women. Things like that.
And there are the subtle things as well, like women can't do any job that requires an excessive use of brain or brawn. Because, face the facts, we can do whatever men can do, plus more, just like men can do whatever women can do, plus more. Silly things like boys must wear blue and girls must wear pink, and the old-fashioned way that girls must cook and clean and wait on boys, like they did in the 1950's and some still do today.
And this is all because of the fact that men abuse their natural priveledges, like being slightly physically stronger than women. That doesn't mean that they're more intellectually advanced than us - far from it, in fact. Most husbands have the ability to beat the crap out of their wives, but that doesn't mean that it's right or that it should be allowed. That's like someone from a place where guns are allowed (cough America) that goes on a mass murdering rampage and then goes 'Well, I'm allowed to have a gun and I know how to use it, so it's all okay'. The world doesn't work like that.
Men bemoan little things, how they have to be tough and all masculine and all of that. But the sad thing is, men bring that on themselves, and upon other men. All the crazy expectations women live up to are *all* set by men. Contrary to popular belief, we *don't* care if you're not a body builder, and, by the way, body builder muscles are gross.
And if you think being a man is so hard, well you try being a woman. You try having to put up with all the crap that we do.

Fascinating. Like we still lived in the 19th century ...
Open your eyes kid and abandon your sexist antimale view. It's because of this kind of attitude, that men don't want to provide for ignorant, arrogant and selfish women like your kind anymore.
But you will learn that the hard way - by self-experience.

I don't think this post is a very accurate description of reality nowadays.
Sure, some male take up this view but I can only think of too many who are completely opposite. You shouldn't judge all males in one big heading-its not right.
Besides, like Manifold said, this would more relate to 19th century views on women. Much has changed and females have gained much more respect and rights then back then.
