How can they know. Dude, if you take a look at the set of humans who scream about this self love of a thing, you'll get to understand why they really scream about self love. Many of them don't even know what it means to love another person. Then again, how can they love another person when they're busy loving themselves

It is just like those chronic masturbators. They spend all their time fvcking themselves they totally don't know what it means to fvck another... Like how can they truly know the joy of fvcking a girl when they spend all their time fvcking themselves grin cheesy

This is absolutely hilarious. You cracked me up with this one. Anyways, love is internalized and then externalized. Self-love is just a faulty logic, when ever we come up with new dogmas, i tell myself it's a hoax

I know you're here for my head but hear me out first. So in the space on an hour, I have come across two threads relating to feminism. This is not a counter or anything as everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However I can't help but put my 2 cents in.
I seriously believe that feminism is highly misunderstood

First things first, let's define feminism; it is the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. Notice it doesn't say feminism is a drive towards matriarchy? Well that's simple, it's not.

There are many different types of feminism but I won't be discussing all of them as that will take too much time so I urge you to use good old Google!
So I think that the kind of feminism that people think of when they hear Feminism is Radical Feminism-: Radical feminism is a movement that believes sexism is so deeply rooted in society that the only cure is to eliminate the concept of gender completely or for females to dominate.

Now that's not the kind of feminism I'm talking about. Another type of Feminism is Liberal Feminism. Liberal feminists strive towards gender equality in all areas of life. Gender equality includes men too!

So why am I a feminist? Or why do I believe in gender equality? No, it's not because I believe that men and women are equal or because I'm against submissiveness or because I want female world domination (although that would be pretty cool)
I believe in gender equality for the same reason I believe in racial equality, tribal equality and anything that has to do with fairness in general.

Of course men and women are not equal, physicality being the main difference but they're both humans and both deserve to be treated equally as a result.

Believe me there's soo much more to say, but I don't want to make this too long. Feel free to ask questions, let's see if I can get you to see why feminism isn't all that bad

Give Femism a chance, it's not as bad as people make it out to be. We all should be feminists, we all should be striving towards equality
We can never be equal mehn...Just take your second position to man and live in peace.

This is why I don't call myself a "feminist". I just identify as an advocate for gender equality. ABSOLUTE gender equality, yes. People should be judged purely based on their ABILITIES. Gender is IRRELEVANT! Women are not "weaker vessels" that need "protection" as far as I'm concerned. We're equal. Oh, maybe the average man is PHYSICALLY stronger than the average woman. But why should physiology count? I've met fellow men who are PHYSICALLY STRONGER THAN ME. But you can't tell by these guys are superior to me, "by nature". You'll have to be mentally ill.

And what is "nature", by the way? Take a trip to the jungle if you want to see how nature handles things, then come back to human society to appreciate the fact that ALL the ideologies, beliefs, and orientations we live by are all MAN MADE, and none is Holy Writ or natural. They can all be CHALLENGED! They can all be CHANGED!

The word "feminist" just created 8 pages of pointless bickerings and headless discussions that have no precise direction!

Most of the people here were attacking MISANDRISTS and HYPOCRITICAL IDIOTS [who claim to be feminists, but ARE they feminists?], thinking they're attacking feminism. I could come out and call myself NAPOLEON, but would that make me Napoleon?! It would only mean I'm confused and deluded---or even mad. People can claim to be anything. It's their actions that determine WHAT THEY ARE.

I hate misandrists too---as much as I hate misogynists, but equating feminism with misandry is pure cretinism.

NightHound, I see you.

How many years ban were you given? If you lie you'll go to hell grin. I'm serious angry I'll send you there myself angry

It's truly sad that someone can't say I'm a feminist because people have refused to see that feminism has only one definition, but the point you guys have is valid, it's seems it's better to say to say you're for gender equality or people won't give you a listening ear, I find that sad.

NightHound:
@OP, You're on point with this, sweetheart. You don't actually have to call yourself a feminist to be a feminist, if you don't want to. Maybe being subtle about labels is even better for the collective struggle. The important thing is that women out there are thinking like you, and that it gets the job done.

There's something called 'selflessness', I'll have you know. You can be worthy of another only if you truly love that person. Remember, true love isn't selfish, it is selfless.

Only greedy, self righteous, hypocritical cretins with bitter life experience scream about self love.
Thereby leaving the definition of your worth in the hands of another? undecided
Only those without a sense of self, autonomy and will to self-actualize reason like you do. Loving oneself is holding onself accountable and not being subject to the whims and caprices of others. It is about taking ownership.

Ah it is a noble effort on your part and don't fret too much. There is this platform amongst others but the best way to achieve this is to SHOW them what it can be like.
I attended an event on Tuesday and there was this lady there. She was there to receive an award, she is a mother to three grown children, the first disabled.
Yet she built successful businesses, raised her family and you may have heard of her, she forced parliament to have a vote on triggering article 50.

Well, that's what happens when Misandrist elements have hijacked the movement, and are more RADICAL and PASSIONATE in promoting their ideologies than most of the actual feminists who, although not exactly passive, are not as active either; just floating somewhere in between, like a baby in the Catholic Limbo.
