See, that's the trick. The word for "female supremacy" IS "Feminism". Looking at the actions of feminists in recent history, things such as the Deluth Model of Domestic Violence, VAWA, the opposition to shared parenting from the largest feminist organization in the west (NOW), the legal presumption that men cannot be raped which leads to them being unable to seek redress for being raped in the legal system, and in fact being punished for it (see any case where a boy was raped and then forced to pay child support to his rapist who was NOT punished in any way)...Miss Pris wrote:This being said, I think we have a lexical problem with "feminism." Feminism is named as such because it is originally a cultural critique from a female perspective. It remains that in academia - an intellectual discussion that examines alternate modalities in gender perceptions - but when it moved into a political project it really should have chosen a more inclusive moniker. Mainstream, social "feminism" is a move toward egalitarianism. Perhaps it should have been called that, and many people do use the term "gender equality" to signify that there is not a privileging of women above men. A new word needs to be created for those individuals who DO want to privilege women over men, hate men, and/or believe that women are superior to men. I don't know what that word should be - perhaps "Female Supremicists" or "Female Separatists" would work. But, it seems to me that Dark is talking about Female Separatists/Supremicists and BD is talking about gender equality.
Unfortunately for feminism, the actions of its loudest supporters have tainted the word and have made it leave a dirty taste in a lot of people's mouths. It would be wonderful to see the moderate "feminists" (and I use that term loosely as the moderates aren't really for female supremacy, but actual legal and social equality) and the members of the MRM/MHRM get together under a single banner, but the constant "us vs them" mentality and actions of the loudest feminists and misandrists make that impossible.
