Men need to understand and women too what feminism is really about.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

Young feminists have been sold a bill of goods about American feminism. The enormous changes in women over the past 40 years are constantly and falsely attributed to the organized women's movement of the late 1960s and '70s.

Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.

Feminism encourages women to leave their husbands kill their children practice witchcraft destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Feminism is hated because women are hated. Anti-feminism is a direct expression of misogyny it is the political defense of women hating.

Feminism is a socialist anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands kill their children practice witchcraft destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.

The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society.

I'm writing a review of three books on feminism and science and it's about social constructionism. So I would say I'm a social constructionist whatever that means.

I'm appalled the word feminism has been denigrated to a place of almost ridicule and I very passionately believe the word needs to be revalued and reintroduced with power and understanding that this is a global picture.

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection support justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

I don't think feminism as I understand the definition implies the rejection of maternal values nurturing children caring about the men in your life. That is just nonsense to me.

Obviously the anti-ERA people are tickled about my ordeal because it proves that the ERA breaks up families. When they point out that feminism is a dangerous thing I just say marriage is pretty precarious too.

Feminism is dated? Yes for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world who are still forced into premature marriage prostitution forced labor - they have children that they don't want or they cannot feed.

The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues the legal issues sexual harassment date rape women who kill and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism.

Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating honorable and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.

Feminism's agenda is basic: It asks that women not be forced to choose between public justice and private happiness.

First I would probably place men at the bottom of the food chain. On a grander scale I would say they're reacting to change. Feminism has got to be part of that.

The left ask people to believe that there is no conflict between feminism and the family.

Feminism is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure human nature.

Feminism is just about equality really and there's so much stuff attached to the word when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.

Until women learn to want economic independence and until they work out a way to get this independence without denying themselves the joys of love and motherhood it seems to me feminism has no roots.

I think feminism's a bit misinterpreted. It was about casting off all gender roles. There's nothing wrong with a man holding a door open for a girl. But we sort of threw away all the rules so everybody's confused. And dating becomes a sloppy uncomfortable unpleasant thing.
