Alright, I hope it is not too terribly Victorian. Feminism in the US has served its purpose. Women are equal in every way, we have access to education, employment, voting rights, anything we could possibly desire. Women are now in combat in the military, most college graduates are now women. Women can do anything we want to do- nothing is barred. In some cases, there is actually preferential treatment for women over men. For example, the Small Business Administration will grant women a loan to start a business simply for being a woman.
From what I have observed on media, most feminists in the West get riled up over ridiculous "causes" such as manspreading. In Madrid, Spain, it is now illegal for a man to sit comfortably on the subway as he is taking up too much room. Never mind that a man's anatomy requires him not to sit with his legs crossed. What a victory for women! So many feminist causes in the States are less about equality and more about demeaning men. The latest feminist complaint is about office buildings being too cold, requiring women to have to wear cardigans in the work place. All because the big, bad men like the building cooler than we do. What brutes.
The Feminist March in Washington was organized by a woman by the name of Linda Sarsour who advocates Sharia Law. Apparently, some feminists have donned the hajib as a way to show equality. It is kind of unbelievable that women who say they are for equality would be friendly toward Sharia law, which is oppressive to women in the worst ways. Under Sharia, women are classed as property and can be stoned to death if they are accused of adultery. It is unconscionable that feminists would align themselves with a person who promotes Sharia.
The Feminist March had prolife Women's groups apply to march as well, but they were told they were not wanted. It seems that if you are a woman and prolife, you are not welcome in feminist ranks.
I hope I won't get banned for the above sentiments.
