EQUAL RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE!!!!!! ALL PEOPLE!!!!!

A gentle reminder of an enforced, but concise ban policy.

WHY WE WILL BAN YOU:
- RACISM
- SEXISM
- COMMENTS OFFENSIVE TO THOSE WHO ARE LGBT
- ABLEISM
- TROLLING
- USING PERSONAL INSULTS
- JUSTIFYING THE EXISTENCE OF FASCIST ORGANISATIONS

Because happy women will lead to happier men.

We don't want to be gender divided and we do want to be humanist in our approach to all the world's problems but it is a fact that sexism is an issue and the 'feminist' movement (which contains men too) has more vital work to do and we will do it.

Happier men will also lead to happier women.

Malcolm X said something very similar - to educate a man is to educate an individual but to educate a woman is to educate and liberate a nation.

YES - it DOES start from within. It starts with awareness of the current situation, which is to say women are NOT equal and feminism has not achieved equality for many women.

But it can.

People often state on threads that feminism is divisive but it IS NOT. It is about women organising themselves and supporting each other.

Many men are feminists too and many men and women work together on feminist activism.

Some feminist groups do not want men with them and this is usually because their work involves working alongside women who have experienced abuse most commonly from a male partner.

Feminism is about liberating the woman first and indirectly but most definitely the community at large.

We're all equal, and we're all connected. A balanced society is better for everyone.

The point is that you have to liberate those who are currently being disadvantaged by society, and everyone will benefit because of it.

When a woman is liberated for example, with education, she will have the opportunity to educate and socialize males such as her own children in a less gender restricted world.

Both men and women can adopt a more androgynous way of living, hence a more liberated life. Androgyny means that a person does not limit her/his life due to gender constrains.
