This is a great example of the No True Scotsman fallacy. Perfect for deflecting from the actual topic: whether feminism is evil or not.
Most reasonable people acknowledge that abortion is the murder of an innocent life---making it an obvious evil.
So you're saying that everyone who doesn't agree with you on this subject is "unreasonable."
There are an awful lot of people out there who would challenge your statement, using the bible (yes, THE bible!) to back themselves up. And it has NOTHING to do with feminism, but rather religious beliefs.
Plenty of religious denominations, using the same bible YOU do, would disagree with you.
Do you even get that abortion was accepted in Christian denominations until the 19th century?
Even in some sects of Judaism, abortion is allowed under certain circumstances...such as, that carrying a baby to term would cause harm to the mother...OR the fetus. And since Christianity is
heavily based on Judaism, well...
Had you been involved with Judaism, you just might have a different take on the issue.
Even pro-choice people acknowledge this, saying restricting women's autonomy is still a greater evil.
I'm sure
some pro-choice people would say that.
Feminism's evil has nothing to do with all feminists agreeing on the same belief.
It has to do with the results. Over a century of increasing feminist influence has not resulted in women being happier, healthier, or more fulfilled in their relationships l.
And WHY do you think that is?
While YOU believe that feminism is no longer necessary because "it already achieved its goal(s)", this is far,
FAR from the truth.
You tend to believe that because certain laws are in place to protect women from discrimination, that EVERYONE is on board with those laws.
They're not.
And THAT'S the problem.
Women STILL face discrimination in the workplace via sexual harassment and receiving lower wages than men
in general for doing the same job. And while conditions have improved, they're far from eliminated.
Feminism ALLOWS *YOU* to get a credit card...WITHOUT your husband or father's approval. It allows you to VOTE, even if your vote is contrary to your husband's. Do you use birth control? You can thank feminism for that, too.
And that's only a FEW things to mention. Feminism isn't just regulated to the West. It's also fighting for women overseas to have a say in FORCED marriages and Female Genital Mutilation, for example. Would you like it if your husband insisted on having YOUR genitals 'circumcised' because he feared that you MIGHT be sexually aroused by seeing another more attractive man? Would you want your 11 year old baby girl to be FORCED into marriage by some 30 year old man?
THESE are some of the things that feminism DESPISES, and feminism fights against.
You, Wrangler and a few others see feminism in a limited way. Feminism isn't just for women's rights...it's for HUMAN rights, that include women as HUMAN. Different kind of human from men, but human, nonetheless.
God created men and women EQUALLY, which is what you and others fail to see. There are TWO stories of creation in the bible. YOU and others only recognize ONE.
In Genesis 1, God gave THEM...that is, male and FEMALE dominion over the earth. God never said, "I give MAN dominion over WOMAN."
In Genesis, God predicted what would happen. God NEVER
COMMANDED men to rule over women. But you and other see it like God did.
Do you REALLY think that the people in the bible did EVERYTHING that God supposedly "commanded? "
If you believe that, I suggest you read your bible again...
