bungalow does make a point though, that if you ever read a bunch of renowned feminist literature you will see that women wanting to be like/hating men is not what feminism is about at all. True feminism is simply about equal rights for each of the sexes. All this man-hating, wanting to look like a man bullshit is radical feminism which has only emerged in recent times and like I said serves no significant purpose in society. But true, original feminism does.

This is probably a major flaw of mine but I find it really hard to listen to opinions on feminism from people who 1) Know nothing about feminism and its origins and 2) Have no idea what it is like to be a woman in this world.
