My issue on feminism nowadays isn't so much about wanting equality, but that feminists feel they are superior. I see blogs, articles, videos about "I'm a feminist and men are this/that". Compared to seeing a woman who is for equal rights. There's a huge difference between being a woman in the 19th century to a woman in 2000+. I already know that women get treated worse in certain areas, but the same can be said for men. The equality line is closing, but both sides still aren't equal. There are areas where men aren't equal (as I've pointed out before). I also have the same attitude to men who find themselves superior to women and their misogynistic BS. I've yet to find a feminist these days who makes a point that isn't biased. I'm for everyone being on equal ground. No for certain parties gaining certain perks.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong Beardy. I understand what feminism is supposed (it's intended purpose) to mean, but the meaning seems to changed recently (based on what I've seen and heard). I think if you want to make a difference for women, don't complain about the men who don't view woman as inferior and anal about a guy being interested in you, but focus your attention on on places where it's needed. A perfect example being Muslim Women/oppression in those areas. I'd sign that petition.

@Beware of Cuccos
Damn fine read and I agree with a lot (if not all) of what you said.
I also agree with you on Freedom of Speech. But it's pretty clear it's anti-gay speech. I get it, hate speech is still freedom of speech, but it's because of this that people who are gay aren't treated equally. There's a difference between freedom of speech against gays and actually having the right to vote to discriminate against gay people (Yo, North Carolina).

Obviously I'm not a woman, but I have a lot of female friends, I lived in a household of 3 women (Younger sister, older sister and a mother(No Dad)) as well as my family expands to 3 aunties and a Grandmother. You're point about wearing makeup and potentially being fired!? The hell. No joke I never knew that happened but that's not right. Pretty sure it's not mandatory here. Pretty BS to me.

About Gay marriage, simple. Let them marry. Why is that so hard?]

No joke but Black people in America (the idiots, not all obviously) have a pretty shitty attitude. They still have the black panther crap and Al Sharpton spouting anti-white BS.

Illegal migrants/Lazy people I don't really have much of an issue with. I see how they are a problem, but for those immigrants that actually help the system(Go to school, pay taxes, don't eff up the area) rather than abuse it then I don't see them as a problem. I put lazy people into that category because they also follow the same life lines. Doing nothing but reaping rewards from tax money

Last thing about Chick-fil-a check out this hilarious image! XD

First I would like to point out the obvious awesomeness of that picture. I've seen it EVERYWHERE and is a perfect example of what's wrong. Also, thank you for taking the time to read all of that. I know it was a lot. It took me an hour to type it all, and I had two cups of coffee and three cigarette breaks while doing so.

I'm glad to see someone outside of America believes me. I'm always so worried that people in other countries, that have no means/interest to come here and see for themselves, will be misinformed. We are only allowed the information the media chooses to give us, which is the main reason I don't watch or read the news. I'm also scared people will dislike me for being from the most hated state in the most hated country.

Your views on feminism are well expressed, friend. Most, not all feminists are extremests. That's why i'm for gender equality and not feminism.

Black people here (most, not all) are super racist, and I can't say anything because then I'M the racist and I can get sued. You can see my fear in the fact that I have to type "most, not all" everytime I mention someone that's not white.

Illegal immigrants are a huge problem here. This is the only subject you wrote about that I (respectfully) disagree with. You mention ones that "help the system", and I would like you to know that they do not exist. I just wish they would come here legally. Then we wouldn't even have to have this discussion. If I were to move to another country, I would do it properly. I would learn about their culture, learn their language, etc. I wouldn't bust up in there waving my flag being all "WHAT'S UP BITCHES TEXAS IS HERE", which, in a sense, is kind of what they have done here. I even saw a bumper sticker one time that said "They can't deport us all!"
