    Do you identify as a feminist?

    There are just some exceptions to grammatical gender in Latin that make fuck all sense.

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    Of course that is all very true, but I refuse to give priority to any of them. I support all sexual rights, I support all gender rights, I support equal rights for everyone. This implies I support feminism, but why would I go out of my way to highlight feminism specifically? Feminism has no more...

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    Because I also support equal rights for males. For example regarding conscription or custody laws, which are most of the time blatantly sexist, also towards men (males are bound to conscribe to the army, while women don't have to face dangers and have it easy; males can't get custody of their...

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    I suppose, but the point remains that Latin (and ancient Greek too) were better equipped. Anthropos was "human", andro "man" and gyne "woman" iirc

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    Didn't it come from Latin "homo" which means human? Latin homo is gender neutral and applies to all of humankind. For men specifically, Latin used "vir" and "femina" for women.

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    I know that. I studied Latin for five years. When you add something to the stem, it is called a suffix. A suffix is always at the end, hence why it's called an ending. And yes, I'm aware of the -ne endings making sentences a question. I'm not stupid.

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    suffixes are suffixed at the end of a word hence, endings

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    I'm not talking about "if read literally", I'm talking about not giving women's rights precedence over any other group of people's type of rights since I advocate equality for all. If that's what you define as feminism then I am a feminist but I prefer calling it equalist or anything of the sort

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    I'm pretty sure it _could_ fall under feminism but I don't really think it defines feminism, do you? The whole point of feminism was to oppose discrimination against women, which I'm against, but I'm no more against that than I am against discrimination versus men, or religious people, or ethnic...

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    I've honestly never seen that called feminism. Just sexism.

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    I agree with you that it is a problem in quite a few areas, but like uv said, it's the terminology that is misleading. That doesn't mean I don't think the rules on parental leave or custody are entirely ridiculous. But does opposing them really mean I have to call myself a feminist? No, I just...

    Do you identify as a feminist?

    It's not about feminism. Of course I support women's rights, but does that make me a feminist? I don't think so. I support all rights for all people and consider myself an "equal chances"-ist in that regard. I don't think it's productive to say "well women should have more rights" because, you...

    I don't. I believe in equal rights lol. Where's the "/care about gender" option
