Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it’s one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn’t a feminist because she thought women couldn’t be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

    FYI you can’t be a feminist if you pay for the SA and murder of other women.

      women aren’t cows. cows aren’t women. and artificial insemination isn’t SA, it’s a veterinary procedure.

        Well cows wouldn’t call themselves “women” no, but I’m sure they do have some gender expression that is apart from just their sex. I could have said females, but I don’t really like using that word.

        These cows cannot consent to having someone shove a fist inside them, it is very much SA. I’m sure colonizers had the same mentality as you when they were SA Women of colour and indigenous women.

            Thinking just because someone has a different shaped body than you and isn’t as intelligent gives someone the right to SA them is gross.

            The problem is you being so brainwashed to think it’s okay to abuse others that you forget indigenous people are animals. We all are.

          doors can’t consent to have your keys jammed in them either. the very concept of consent can’t be applied to cows or doors.

            Cows are sentient, you comparing them to objects is exactly the kind of shit feminism fights against.

            If a human had the same intelligence as a cow do you think it would be okay to SA them?

      What is this referring to?

      How dairy cows need to be pregnant in order to produce milk, so they’re artificially inseminated and kept pregnant throughout most of their lives?

        Yes. They can’t consent and they are used like objects, only seen as a means of making milk and more cows.
