 these issues are now vastly overrated. The big issues of feminism have been resolved in its favour already. Feminism became readicalised and does harm to relations between the genders and the fabric of society itself

How much of your course covers feminist literature, or feminism in literature? Just asking out of curiosity. I've noticed most comments have taken a general interpretation - not wrong per se, but that may not have been what you were asking.

 

I see that there's still a serious imbalance of power in regards to gender even in "modern civilised societies", so the issues of feminism are still very much relevant. Changing a few laws doesn't solve the problem.

 

There's a quote by journalist Helen Lewis which comes to mind: "The comments on any article about feminism justify feminism." I can see this to be true even in this discussion, looking at the examples of "mansplaining" already on the first page.

Excuse my bluntness, Mr. Millard, but ARE YOU JOKING?!

Resolved? For whom? Where?

Feminism is a movement for the improvement of women's right. It's absolutely not a movement against men! :) Yes, there are extremists, but saying feminists are all like that is the exact same thing as saying all muslims are terrorists, which is nonsense. The cause of feminists is a legitimate cause. Just look around you and you'll see all sort of inequalities concerning genders (lower salaries - 24% less in France -, less political representations, lots of prejudices...etc). Being aware that you don't have the same rights as the others, wouldn't you fight for it? :)
