Feminism is a range of social movements, political movements, and ideologies that aim to define, establish, and achieve the political, economic, personal, and social equality of the sexes. Feminism incorporates the position that societies prioritize the male point of view, and that women are treated unjustly within those societies. Early first and second wave Feminism sought parody with there male counterparts, however, later feminist movements adopted a more intersectional theory. Contemporary Feminists critic toxic elements of masculine and feminine culture. Feminism does not deny or downplay the difference between men and women, as at often times it seeks to accommodate the needs of men and women. Feminists do not oppose homemaking, child-rearing, and or homeschooling by women, only that women should have the choice to do what they want. Most prominent modern feminists support [[abortion]], though feminism and being anti-abortion are not mutually exclusive.

'''Feminism''' is an ideology that causes an alienation in affection by women for men.  Feminism denies or downplays differences between men and women; feminism opposes homemaking, child-rearing, and [[homeschooling]] by women; and feminism promotes participation by women in predominantly male activities regardless of their life pursuits or interests.  Most prominent modern feminists support [[abortion]].

 

Attributes common to many feminists include an [[entitlement mentality]] and a bit of an attitude, such as a "chip on one's shoulder" despite benefiting from a life of privilege.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSo-q2Dq1aY ''Mickey Randleman - _Feminist_ (IWPS 2014) - 1080P HD_this video was deleted by buttons youtube channel'']</ref>

 

On a personal level feminism can disrupt marriages, relationships, child-rearing, education and the workplace.  The feminist ideology is particularly dominant in elite universities, many large corporations, and competitive women's team sports. Feminism claims it wants to make men and women equal but in reality, it opposes any sort of support for men.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2015/11/18/male-university-of-york-student-commits-suicide-on-day-his-university-ditches-international-mens-day-after-pressure-from-feminists/ "Male University of York Student Commits Suicide on Day His University Ditches International Men’s day"]</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWgslugtDow ''Feminists protesting Men's Rights talk pull fire alarm, 4/4/2013'']</ref>

 

Feminism was originally an expression used by [[suffragettes]] – who were predominantly [[pro-life]]<ref>[http://www.godlessprolifers.org/library/wallace4.html ''Susan B. Anthony opposed abortion'']</ref><ref>''"There is no question that she deplored the practice of abortion, as did every one of her colleagues in the suffrage movement."''

By the 1970s, however, at the height of what was termed Second-wave feminism, [[liberals]] had changed the meaning to represent people who favored [[abortion]] and identical roles or quotas for women in the military and in society as a whole.  Today in the midst of what is called Third-wave feminism, some feminists are enforcers of [[liberal censorship]] and [[political correctness]], at the expense of [[free speech]]. In fact, much of what drove Second-wave feminism and what now drives Third-wave feminism was derived from Communist doctrine and both have a great deal in common, including the shared goal of the destruction of the family and the promotion of homosexuality and promiscuity (via Goal 26 of the 1963 Communist goals for America).<ref>[https://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2014/09/04/feminism-is-communism/ Feminism is Communism]</ref><ref>[http://fathersforlife.org/feminism/hubbard1.htm Feminist family politics and their roots in Communist ideology]</ref>

Most modern feminists:

* Want to Liberate all genders form arbitrary societal dress expectations.

* want to remove significant distinctions between how men and women dress, such as preferring that women wear pantsuits rather than dresses,<ref>"[T]he wearing of pantsuits is often a useful feminism signifier, depending on the culture of the law firm."

In some cases, most infamously during the Miss America protests in 1968, feminists have even gone as far as to indicate that female products such as makeup, bras, and heels were "instruments of oppression."

* Will levey substantive critic of our television, movies and media.

* do not want gender equality; they want power for the female Left.<ref>[http://www.eagleforum.org/column/2011/feb11/11-02-11.html Phyllis Schlafly, "Feminism Has Become a Hot Topic"]</ref>

* View traditional [[marriage]] as unacceptably "patriarchal".

* in movies and television, portray the men, in particular, the white heterosexual men, as inherently evil, dumb or incompetent, and the women, in particular those that adhere to the feminist agenda, as inherently good, smart or competent (note that this conflicts with gender equality).

* seek parody with other genders with [[affirmative action]] for women.

** on that note, some movies and television programs, in addition to depicting men as inherently evil, dumb, or incompetent, can sometimes depict women who adhere to more traditional femininity, including promoting traditional family values and traditional marriage (see below), as well as expressing more traditional gender roles and natures, in an extremely demeaning manner, usually implying that they are at best brainless bimbos and at worst gold-diggers (women who only marry someone for their wealth), often with the implication that traditional femininity is considered inherently bad (which goes against the concept of women having free choices regarding how to pursue their life).

* advocate for [[women in combat]] in the military just like men.

* conveniently pretend that there are no meaningful differences between men and women when that advances [[liberal]] causes (e.g., women and men equally in military combat, to weaken the U.S. military), but reject equality when that results in more money to women (e.g., [[VAWA]] funding of women's groups).

* Some will refuse to take her husband's last name when marrying.

* oppose [[chivalry]] and even feign insult at harmless displays of it (see battle between the sexes).

* Study history wholistic, not only with the perspective of men.

* view traditional [[marriage]] as unacceptably "patriarchal".

* Often condemn the God-given order of gender roles, as laid out in the Holy [[Bible]], as this would require the proof god, and/or proof of the divine inspiration of the bible.

* belittle and mock other women who desire to have children or raise a family<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/clinton/etc/03261992.html Nightline Transcripts, "Making Hillary Clinton an Issue"], [[PBS]]</ref><ref>"Being a [[housewife]] is an illegitimate profession...

* object to being addressed as "ma'am,", feminine nicknames such as "sweetheart" or "honey" or the causal tip of the fedora.

==History==

The history of the modern western feminist movement is divided into four "waves". The first comprised of women's suffrage movements of the 19th and early-20th centuries, promoting women's right to vote. The second wave, the women's liberation movement, began in the 1960s and campaigned for legal and social equality for women. In or around 1992, a third wave was identified, characterized by a focus on individuality and diversity.[30] The fourth wave, from around 2012, used social media to combat sexual harassment, violence against women and rape culture; it is best known for the Me Too movement.[31]

Roots of the movement in the United States and the United Kingdom include the [[suffrage|Women's Suffrage]] movement of the early 1900s (First-wave feminism) and the Women's Liberation (Second-wave feminism) movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Second-wave feminism had its roots from [[Betty Friedan]] and [[Simone de Beauvoir]], who both advocated for the abolition of the career of housewife with the false implication that it was comparable to a Nazi concentration camp or a parasite, though they are more akin to the later third-wave feminism, as they fought against what they saw as patriarchal systems designed to hold women down. Another notable feminist was Simone Veil, who was instrumental to legalizing abortion in France. One of her key methods to its legalization was citing her experience as a holocaust survivor.<ref>https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/30/534974403/french-politician-simone-veil-holocaust-survivor-and-abortion-pioneer-dies-at-89</ref>

 

 

First-wave feminism was a period of activity during the 19th and early-20th centuries. In the UK and US, it focused on the promotion of equal contract, marriage, parenting, and property rights for women. New legislation included the Custody of Infants Act 1839 in the UK, which introduced the tender years doctrine for child custody and gave women the right of custody of their children for the first time.[32][33][34] Other legislation, such as the Married Women's Property Act 1870 in the UK and extended in the 1882 Act,[35] became models for similar legislation in other British territories. Victoria passed legislation in 1884 and New South Wales in 1889; the remaining Australian colonies passed similar legislation between 1890 and 1897. With the turn of the 19th century, activism focused primarily on gaining political power, particularly the right of women's suffrage, though some feminists were active in campaigning for women's sexual, reproductive, and economic rights too.[36]

The [[Equal Rights Amendment]] (ERA), whose proponents claimed would address the inadequacies of the [[Fourteenth Amendment]] concerning women and citizenship, was proposed in the US in 1923.  The amendment passed Congress in 1972 but was ultimately defeated, falling just three states short of the required [[three-quarters majority]] on June 30, 1982. Some conservatives, particularly [[Phyllis Schlafly]], felt that its passage would entail adverse consequences, including making girls subject to the [[military draft]], requiring taxpayer-funded [[abortion]], the end of [[single-sex schools]] and classes, requiring the issuance of [[homosexual marriage]] licenses, and the revocation of laws that protect women in dangerous jobs, such as factory or mining work.  Indeed, in states that passed their own versions of ERA, several of these results were subsequently ordered by courts.<ref>For example, the [[Hawaii]] and [[Massachusetts]] Supreme Courts illegally ordered the issuance of homosexual "marriage" licenses based in part on their on their state ERAs, and the [[New Mexico]] Supreme Court illegally ordered taxpayer-funded abortion based on its state ERA.</ref>
