I know what people are trying to say to me. You would be quite silly to assume that when I say "Feminism is bad" that i'm talking about equal rights and opportunities of women.
It should be quite clear that the type of Feminism I am discussing was to do with what was being discussed in this thread, and not the type you are referring to.
Also to equate Feminism with Islam is a totally irrelevant issue, which is what I said earlier.
Why?
Feminism is not a religion. It is a movement. Anyone who would say that women should stay in the kitchen or shouldn't have rights to vote, would naturally be ridiculed as being an idiot.
Being Muslim does not carry the same "rules". You can ridicule a Muslim and everyone will not suddenly jump to his/her defense. This is simply due to how the West is.
