Feminists claim to be egalitarians. They say they only want equality (equal opportunity) of the sexes, but they actually want more, they want equity (equal outcomes for both sexes).
Biological nonsense.
Imagine a first-time female comedian demanding that she gets the same pay as Dave Chapelle just because she is a woman.
The feminists argue a woman is biologically equal to a man, a male comedian gets 10 million dollars, therefore a female comedian must get 10 million dollars.
The rationale is strictly biological not based on the ability to tell a joke, performance, entertainment or the ability to sell 10 million dollars in tickets.
They argue the same illogical ridiculous point in basketball with the WNBA and the NBA. Female basketball is inferior to men’s, they have no audience, and they don’t entertain or sell tickets but demand equal pay. If they are true feminists and want equal outcomes, then they must buy an electronic scoreboard that at the end of every game says the scores are equal.
One more in case you did not get it. At the end of both the men’s and the women’s 100m races at the Olympics.
The women’s time must always say the same as Usain Bolt’s time because women and men are equal biologically and their performance is the same.
Feminists argue unsound illogic at times, for example, they have a problem with the partnership of the developing human in the womb. They do not accept equality when it comes to making a decision like killing
their young.
When asked, “whose child is it”, they argue against equality of both sexes and say, “my body my choice”, which is an erroneous, fallacious, selfish, and anti-feminism argument.
The correct selfish, anti-feminist response should be my child my choice. Although this is the correct selfish answer it is problematic for feminists because it is not an egalitarian or a true feminist answer. The true feminist must say it is equally ours and equally our choice, we cannot exclude the father.
Equal standards? They believe a patriarchal hegemony is stifling women’s economic advancement therefore feminists want the government to intervene by passing laws to ensure equal financial outcomes
for both sexes despite the sexes doing different levels and types of unequal work, despite the feminists refusing to work the same long hours.
Pay must never be performance-based but biologically based. They also demand the military remove all equal job entry requirements for both sexes.
Why? because this type of equality is unfair to women. What’s the rationale behind this? Well, they claim the entry requirements are set at the male standard, they protest that although men and women are the same biologically, the male standard is too high for women to achieve.
A new inferior, more feminist equality standard should be in place. This is to reduce the male standard to the women’s standard so men will now be equal with women.
Note that improving women to a higher standard is not feminism but reducing men to the women’s standard is feminism.
