Are you a feminist? and why?

[Genie]

Important Feminist issues are access to education and employment discrimination , everything else is drama for nothing

Those aren't just feminist issues , those are basic fundamental human rights issues , every human being should have a right to basic education and equal opportunities.

For example minority men AND women face education and employment discrimination.

Muslim feminists are dumb

They could talk about fair share of inheritance etc

Women can be naive children, good it’s easy to manipulate them lol

I 100% agree with you , its all a big joke.
feminism in 3rd world countries is without a doubt a necessity , I just can't help but think its not just women that are oppressed there , pretty much every aspect of humanity is infringed in 3rd world countries , human rights violations there is practically a norm. Children are constantly molested , raped and trafficked so its a packaged problem not just women.

Also is it me or did the whole meaning of feminism change in this decade what happened to fighting for equality for both men and women.

Real change only happens when there's a spotlight on each issue separately. You can't just say "Let's make every aspect of humanity better!" and except things to get better. There needs to be separate campaigns for feminism, child abuse, poverty, etc.

The fact that women don’t have a day off when they are on their periods tells you everything.

Men have periods too so booohoo.

It’s the most important feminist issue

Debatable. You say there need to be a spotlight on each issue separately , But different groups all shouting different things but wanting the same thing over all makes no sense to me , this can be better settled with one group demanding basic human rights to be met for everyone and demanding the law to better enforce this, otherwise other groups can be put before other, but I see where you're coming from.

the inheritance law in islam is very fair , when you take into account the male responsibility in a muslim household , a muslim mans money does not just belong to him it belong to his wife , family and children , whereas a muslim woman's money and properties are hers to keep and hers alone.
so the inheritance law is fair.

I support feminism in poor 3rd world countries like Somalia

I would like to know why?

This strategy has worked wonderfully for first world countries, namely America, so I don't see what your problem with it is.

1st and 2nd wave feminism in the developing world particularly access to education,health and a right to divorce etc...

Alhamdolilah I have never experienced any sort of gender discrimination in my life.But I wished that any sort of stigma attached to women moving out or women going abroad didn’t exist among Somalis, but it’s too much to ask.

I support white feminists and increased feminism (all waves) for the West because it will lead to fewer white people.

You are right it has worked well in first world countries but its too slow moving in my opinion with the time they were fiddling about with trying to appease different groups , they would for example protect thousands of children that go missing every year , that end up trafficked and under the basement of all their pedo politicians , they would stop slave labour that still happens to this day and overall protect every human rather than appeasing one group over another.

Some groups have no voice like the illegal immigrant who are too scared to even go to the hospital and get help. This could lead to disease spreading etc etc , so many things can be solved this way. And its naive to assume something worked well over something else when it was the only thing to be tried.

 

[Abkaal]

I will call myself a Feminist if feminists subject feminism to Islam rather than subjecting Islam to Feminism. And about Somalia our situation is hardly a situation that needs feminist movements. It is just that we are poor.

 

[Jake from State Farm]

In all seriousness though I support equality. Race and gender equality.

And giving women educational opportunities and work opportunities.

Shout out to Malala.

She took a bullet to the head just to go to school. Now she has a novel prize and has helped girls all over the world get access to an education.

@shan-futo-le my beliefs are very similar to yours, couldnt have said it any better

"And wish not for the things in which Allah has made some of you to excel others. For men there is allotted from what they have earned, (and likewise) from women there is allotted for what they have earned". [An- Nisaa`: 32]

Muslim feminists make me laugh tbh

 

[guntiino101]

I would like to know why?

Because many of the men are sexist & so are the laws. I've never been back home, but I've had so many stories told by cousins and friends. 1 of my female cousins, for example, was an A-grade student and is now a doctor, but when she told the men back home, many of them refused to believe it because according to them all women are "dumb". Wtf.

That's just one example. There's many more.

@Jaalle Halfdan why you qashin my post?

Malala is a nobel prize winner that has done a lot for women world wide.

It would have been even slower if every issue was thrown under the same umbrella of human rights. Ever heard of division of labor? When people who have similar goals, experiences, and skills come together to solve an issue relevant to them, social issues get solved more quickly and efficiently.
