I am not a "liberal." if you had taken even a second to review that is very clear. Unlike many, I form my own opinions on every issue, based on multiple sources of available info and do not toe a party/lib/con line. Your posts are lock step with the right wing agenda, that is typical of partisan puppets. A feminist is someone who believes that everyone has the right to equal opportunity, and whether they suceed or fail is wholly based on merit, not gender. That's all the word feminist means, so I gladly accept that. Even your understanding of a feminist is what the right wing tells you.
No that's what the word conservative means . And the opposite of what feminist want.

I was going to say the same thing. It seems like he came up with a very narrow definition of feminism. A bit like saying that all that a Communist is that its someone that believes we should all help each other.

That's exactly what it means and what it has always meant. It's not my fault your leaders make up bs and you fall for it. That's it, women having the same rights and opportunities as men. What one does or doesn't achieve is not be determined by gender but by their abilities. I understand those you follow want to portray it as something else because that's how they create fear in you.

Someone who doesn't even know what it is can have no idea what a feminst wants.

Word Frequency

(femɪnɪzəm )

That is not even remotely a definition of communism. What I posted is the exact definition of feminism. It's clear some posters need to shut off Rush, Fox or whoever tells them what to believe because it's not doing them any favors in the critical thinking department.

Definition of Communism
1a : a system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed
b : a theory advocating elimination of private property

An online dictionary? HAHAHAHAHAH!

The left has re-written all the online dictionaries to sanitize all their radical buzzwords. Look what they did to the definition of racism.

Try a print dictionary, from more than 20 years ago.

Yep....but saying its the idea we should all help each other sounds a bit better and not radical. So that's what they say instead.

It will say the same thing and you know it. You are being nonsensical and no one with any common sense is buying that.

A definition is a definition. Individuals don't get to make up what words mean. Who says "we should all help each other" as defining communism? No one! I realize that politcians like to make up their own definitions to rile up supporters and you apparently believe them but those with critical thinking skills understand that politicians manipulate information for their own benefit. A defnition is a fact. Communism is what I posted, as is feminism.
