I agree in general however also keep in mind that most women do not do the same jobs as men (fishermen, oil rigs, sewage, other extreme hazardous stuff, etc). I agree about politics & business however I also question how many women SEEK to become politicians and businesswomen? You need a lot in order to make it more visible.
Quote:Women should not fear for their safety walking down a street alone.I agree with you but this is not a feminism issue. It is a cultural/societal one. Reason why I say this is because in Asia, like Japan for example, it's entirely safe to walk down the street at night by herself.
Quote:Often times in a relationship women are expected to do all the housekeeping in addition to having a full-time job for which they are paid less than their male counterparts.This is also another cultural issue and I sympathize. However it also speaks to the true inequality present within the male and female genders. In the past, women would stay home while the men earn the money. This arrangement freed up so much time that women had all the time needed in order to do the housekeeping. It's actually been this way for most of planet Earth's history. The one thing introduced to women that changed all that was working (in the workplace). This change has done a big number on families, to the point that family units are a rarity now.
Quote:Our society actively disempowers women.I agree with you. The vast majority of female billionaires are actually in China. Because in China, the belief is that "women hold up half the sky". First female presidents have been in Asia. It's entirely possible to get to the point where society empowers women rather than the other way around.
Quote:This isn't even going into the treatment of trans individuals (which is a touchy subject here given the sometimes shockingly conservative attitudes towards gender).Trans people are mentally ill. It should be treated as a mental illness instead of allowing the individual to play on their illness. Remember that which is natural and that which is not. We only have two genders. Nature even backs me up on this as we only have XX or XY chromosomes.
