Are you a feminist? (If so why, if not why not?) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it's one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn't a feminist because she thought women couldn't be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

Thinking just because someone has a different shaped body than you and isn't as intelligent gives someone the right to SA them is gross.

The problem is you being so brainwashed to think it's okay to abuse others that you forget indigenous people are animals. We all are.

That you think other animals are below you is the problem here. Don't blame me for your human supremacy.

I haven't made any such statements. please leave me alone

You essentially did when you considered it gross that Indigenous people are animals. As if other non-human animals are inherently gross.

please leave me alone, and stop calling indigenous people animals
