I approve. No doubt about it.

Should women just sit at home and breed babies all day and be the [MOD CUT/language] of men? Don't think so.

I think men are becoming(and expected) to be more feminist in the 21st century. However i think woman should have equal rights.

What are YOUR views on freedom? On equality of opportunity? On fairness? On decency? Do you look at your daughter and see a lesser person than you see when you look at your son? Do you think a person's mind, spirit, soul, ability are contained in their genitalia?

Personally I believe that ALL PEOPLE are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

By golly, I guess I'm a feminist. I'm an old lady now and I well remember what it was like to grow up in a time when those rights were NOT protected for women and I praise God that my daughters and my granddaughters do not live in such a time.

I'm not sure I understand what feminism is.

From everything I've read, though, I'd of thought it would have been called anti-feminism.

What I've heard from a friend is that feminists don't want equality. Do you think its okay for women to beat their men and get away with it?

She wasn't being a feminist or liberated. She was just being selfish.
