Yep, sadly there are those in all circles and movements that comprise a loud minority that often overshadows the more rational individuals in a movement, and feminism is no exception because of radical feminism. That's my only negative view on feminism personally. It's just silly to assert that male supremacy is the result of all of the evils/problems in the world today, and that a patriarchal society continues to suppress women. Feminist ideologies such as cultural feminism and liberal feminism have been much more effective in my opinion.It's important to bring it up, because if you hate men you're not a feminist. The idea of feminism is equal rights and opportunities for both sexes, meaning you support both sexes and not just one. A lot of people on tumblr claim to be feminists and yet constantly bash men for being men -- often labeling them things such as 'scum'. It's hard to spread the ideals of feminism when people get the idea that it's about female superiority, and not equality of the sexes. Yes there are awful people in every political movement, however these "feminists" tend to be extremely vocal and present the wrong image of feminism, and because of this people shy away from an important movement that would normally be common sense.
Aside from that i'll say the same thing that i've said for gay rights that i will for women's rights. I'm not for special treatment and special rights, but i am for equal rights. If i was in the position of power in a company i'd be willing to pay a woman the same amount of money that a man would earn had she had the same experience, longevity in the company and same work ethic, production that the man had. I honestly don't give a damn what sex someone is. And i doubt most employers do either (i'm of the mindset that equal pay isn't as rampant of a problem as it is played out to be.). If they do the equal amount of work and give the same amount of effort, they should be equally rewarded. *drops microphone*
