| − | Specifically, modern feminists just want equality. In society today, an woman will still earn less than a man doing the exact same job will. Additionally, victim blaming towards female victims of rape is unbelievably common. In fact, feminism is justified in the bible. Jesus said to treat others as you wish to be treated, and modern feminists strive to do this - all they want are the same rights and privileges afforded to men. Feminism doesn't equate to man hating, and if a feminist hates men, she is not a feminist. Men can be feminists too, it just means that they too believe that women should have equal rights to them. | + | Specifically, modern feminists just want equality.
