Senior chef:
A feminist is someone who believes women should have equal rights with men -- equal pay for the same work, equal opportunities in job searches. Who wouldn't be a feminist? Who thinks women are lesser beings who shouldn't be paid as much or shouldn't be given a chance at their dream job?
When I was young and looking for work I was told by a bank manager, "We don't hire women because people wont trust them to handle their money." After working in a store's drug department for a few years the male manager quit and I asked for the job (which I had already been doing while he was off with a heart attack.) I was told, "We never make our women managers. Men wont take orders from women." I called the local business college wanting to enroll in drafting class ( I already knew a lot about it because my father had taught me). I was told, "We don't allow women in drafting. You can take shorthand or typing."
Some men take every quality they don't like in certain women and attribute it to feminism. Feminism has nothing to do with the social customs Senior Chef is talking about. Go ahead ask a woman out, be so nice and pleasant one will ask you out. Remind yourself that because one woman one time barked at you for holding the door open, probably many since then have thanked you.
Remember this when you're complaining about women having power:
"Some 47,000 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members in 2020. This means that, on average, a woman or girl is killed by someone in her own family every 11 minutes. Where trends can be calculated, they show that the magnitude of such gender-related killings remains largely unchanged, however, with only marginal increases and decreases over the past decade." - Unodc.org
