Like I said, feminism started off by being a good idea but in my opinion it no longer is. Propagating women\'s rights is one thing, de-womanising women quite another. I consider myself to be a true feminist because I believe women can and should do all they want but I am against women competing with men and exercising their power by acting like men. It\'s men who started it in the first place by being such bastards and I really don\'t think women need to become like that in order to express ourselves, our talens, power, intelligence,... whatever it is. We should stay women, not become men simply because the rules we\'re supposed to live by were written by men. We should be treated as equals because we are but we are not the same and never will be.
I think feminism as it is today is discriminating against women itself! For example, you have women\'s poetry festivals where all the performers are women. What the hell is that? That\'s practically shoving women into a women\'s gheto! Not to mention how it is discriminating against men! If men were to come up with a poetry festival for men only, we\'d all call them chauvinists!
All I\'m saying that it\'s gone out of control and it\'s not serving it\'s purpose anymore. It started off as a movement that celebrated women for what we are, now, it celebrates women who make it in a men\'s world. Big difference.

P.S. This probably doesn\'t belong here anymore so I\'m not gonna discuss it here anymore. You can send me a private message if you want.
