Top 10 Things People Get Wrong About Feminism

1. It's not about gender superiority but equality for both genders

   I believe in equality for doctors and nurses, but it gets on my nerves because there are more male doctors and more female nurses, not the other way around. It's like the ridiculous complaints about how young children are dressed.

   If genders were equal in jobs, the trad wife wouldn't even exist.

2. Not all feminists hate men

   Man-hater is a dumb myth that has been around since the first wave. There are some old anti-suffrage postcards and posters to prove it.

   Feminists care about men. But men don't seem to understand or care about women.

   I am a feminist man.

3. Feminists are intelligent

4. Sexist extremism towards either gender is frowned upon in feminism

5. Feminists are empathetic

6. Not all feminists are like Anita Sarkeesian or other outdated stereotypes

7. There are plenty of feminists who are men

   I think a very notable one would be Kurt Cobain from Nirvana. That guy frequently called out sexism during their live concerts, even protecting a woman from being sexually assaulted and calling out the slimeball who tried to pull that. He even defended a female new-wave band that was treated horribly during one of their concerts in 1992.

8. Most feminists despise people who make assumptions about either gender

9. Feminists are reasonable people

10. Feminists aren't shallow
