US activist, Candace Owen has admitted that she discovered too late that feminism is a scam and is not about uplifting women but tearing women down.

Ms.Candace made her opinion known as she kicked off Turning Point USA’s Young Women’s Leadership Summit in Texas.

“What the left is really good at doing is hijacking a term that once meant something and pretending that it’s still the same thing when, in fact, it’s not,” Owens said.

“Really, if you want to see something toxic, tell a feminist — who says they support every idea a woman has — tell a feminist that you’re not a feminist and see what happens. See the way that you get treated,” she continued.

“I can’t think of women that are nastier and meaner than the ones who exist under these pussy hats, right?” she added.

She told the crowd about an upsetting comment she read online after having a conversation on the dangers of feminism with Allie Beth Stuckey.

According to her, the comment was from a 55-year-old woman who said she fell for the modern day feminist lies, leaving her with no children and forcing her to take medication regularly.

'I learnt too late that feminism was a scam. Today i’am 55, i am unmarried, i have passed the age i can have children & i have to take medicines to help keep me happy, i am on my medication and that is the scam of feminism.

“If there’s anything I could go back and do, I would’ve warned myself against the scam of feminism,” the woman wrote.

Owens also mentioned a number of far-left feminist icons in Hollywood, including Lena Dunham, Miley Cyrus , and Chelsea Handler.

“I believe these voices like Lena Dunham, and Miley Cyrus, and Chelsea Handler are convincing women against themselves, telling women, ‘You don’t need a man. You don’t need.....

OP, you are deliberately being mischievous and I know others like you would soon be here to celebrate that. First, she never said feminism is a scam but only used the story of a misled 55 year old to pilote her own message; the word "scam" is from the 55 year old lady. The Candace Owen is merely saying that the word "feminism" has been abused and a lot people - males and females alike - have a wrong understanding of what feminism really is. This, in fact, is the reality on ground.

To some, feminism is about females being superior to males. This totally contradicts the true definition of the concept and such people are not any different from chauvinists. The opposit - no gender is superior to the other - is in fact the core of feminism.

Another wrong conception of the concept is that women don't need men. This one is outrightly ridiculous. Women need men, simple. This is not even open to argument. What feminism says is that women need men just as much as men need woman. If you don't believe this, you're chauvinistic and not any different from the misled woman touting themselves as feminists.

Feminism is about equality of both genders. Equality in opportunities, social recognition, etc. It does not, however, undermine the differences between these classes. Advocates of feminism posit that we can be different and equal. What we can both do, let's accept that we can both do it and let no one be denied the opportunity to try on bases of gender and social construct.

Again, feminism is about equality. Any other thing asides this is scam.

Thanks for reading!
