Being a feminist is only believing in equality of the genders. If you think you are better than women or don't believe that they work two shifts, make less overall for the same work, and are required to perform a feminine gender role or be criticized. They are taught to appeal to men and have generally been exploited. Try being a woman some time. Wear the role and expectations. You have to walk a mile in another's shoes before you understand the issues that persist in our society. 100 years ago women couldn't vote. They were considered to be weak, frail and became subservient to men. The feminazi extreme you describe was a movement pretty much like the Trump movement, that was an attempt to claim what is perceived as a wrong. White male priveledge, gender inequality, black lives matter and social movements are attempts to return to a balance that is fair to everyone. That's what America is about. Equality. Feminism is just the desire to stop raising girls to expect less. They don't have to fight twice as hard to be accepted as an equal. Respected not for their physical attributes but their skill, intelligence and abilities. To never be told they can't do something because they are female.

Col Rebecca Lorraine - I think we deserve more 'rants' from you like this which are not only true but eloquently stated. So the next time you think, 'don't get me started' on a subject or issue, you should take off and blast away with both barrels.

Feminism is female pride. Nothing wrong with that. However, there are those who take it too far. But who are we to cast the first stone. I take things too far too. I'm an unabashed, unapologetic, unvarnished American. I'm proud of it. I'm proud of my nation. I'm proud of its heritage. I'm also a Constitutionalist. Yes, I know there are people, Americans who are dead set against self-government and I tend to poke their bear every chance I get. I suppose I'm as bad then as those who take feminism too far. So, sue us...

There are plenty of feminists here, I being one. You should learn more about what that word means and stands for.

SSG Drew Cook - well, kudos for upholding the standards of the NCO Corps. I did my due diligence, but he has chosen the lemon life.
