what is feminism to you?
simple really, personally i seperate feminism from the fight to get equal and fair rights for all people, and thus i dont really have a definition of feminism myself

Thats right isnt it ?
Keep in mind though that "equal" doesn't only mean "equal rights and opportunities", it also means "equal obligations" etc. Can't have the good parts without the bad ones too.
what a load of bollocks
what would you like to see happen?
equal responsibilities of both sexes, or what? many people i know who call themselves feminists, still 'expect' men to do certain things in life, which well ruins the point of it surely?
A feminist believes in equal rights for the sexes.
what i like to see, now to make sandwiches for mine and lubys queueing
I'm entirely too tired/lazy to define what feminism is to me, right now, so I'll let this opinion-piece do it for me - it says everything I'd want to only 100x more eloquently. I've read it more times than I care to imagine.

Totally ridiculous idea of course, because no two people are ever equal.
Depends what you mean by "rights" I think. If you mean the right not to be disciminated against in court or whatnot I think fair enough. If you think that the right to force a person to employ people it wouldn't normally choose too, then, no.
I can see where you're coming from but they're not the same equally, men produce testosterone, we're stronger. Women have been proven to be better at multi-tasking than men, just two examples. We're not psychology of psychologically equal, though these attributes generally have equal worth in terms of their contribution to scoiety.
Who to?
Which person, when and to which other person?
To a pit owner? A small office? A family of five?
Anyway, to say that a whole group should be considered equal when individual members of that group never are and are never going to be is a bit dim, frankly. As an expression of a wish, it's nice enough but so is wishing for a french villa and a sack of gold.
Ok, fair enough. Makes sense.
How do you get someone who wouldn't follow your sensible suggestion to agree and do as you wish?
Does that make sense?
