Is it normal to believe the age of the empowerment of women has begun?

True feminism doesn't work solely toward empowerment of women- rather, equality of both and all genders. Commercial feminism is all "women's power!" Just putting that out there.

I think it's an ongoing process, and should be an ongoing process. Maybe we should stop using the term feminism and start using the term equality. Where situations are seen to disfavour women, they should be addressed. Similarly to situations (which do exist) that disfavour men. It's not about one versus the other, it's about being fair.

woman suck. Men rule. I'm cool.

at least women,when not on their periods are considerate of all parties involved in a matter while men cant see past their cocks,the world is fucked because men call all the shots,we strayed too far away from our biological roles mostly because men just aint men any more

Women have been burning their bras for years since the 60's, BUT now the movement is finally starting to gain steam. Men and Women will never be totally and completely equal, not until men suddenly gain the ability to give birth or women suddenly evolve to equal the strength of men.

I dont understand why equality is so important, cant everyone just fill the role they are supposed to, and be happy about doing it ?

division exists because "perfect" doesn't.

Empowerment for women I believe started in the 60's. Feminism had good points, but some people took it too far. Viewing females as the superior race and men as the scum of the earth. I used to think like this and a part of me still unfortunately does, but I've realized that there's no superior gender. If only more people would see that. Political correctness has expanded this negative view. Commercials show girls constantly defeating men, grown men that act like incompetent children with wives that are like their mothers, THE LIST GOES ON! It's like a double edged sword and a strange one at that. Men on one hand are still expected to be tough like diamonds, but on the other hand, burn like paper to a flame when dealing with women and society. It's pathetic. This is supposed to year that awakens us into a new era, yet people are still so stupid when it comes to things like this. These problems will continue to hold the "pursuit for equality" back unless someone or some thing manages to intervene! Progress is not promised.

Empower what? We now have our rights, now if more of us would use them...

djpatties:
Equality can embrace differences. Equality doesn't mean everyone is cut from the same cookie cutter, but regarded with the same level of respect.

The war between the sexes is over and we won, we won the second women started doing pole dancing for exercise. ;-)

I agree pc so with all that money why do they seem so unhappy and what do they want, If their was a really rich female that wanted me to live with her I'd do any thing she commanded sexually and I'd like been her sex slave why not :-)

I kinda agree about feminism, especially as a label. It's collected alot of undesirable baggage and doesn't seem to useful anymore. But how is "empowerment of women" functionally different? You didn't explain that at all.

I completely agree with this. I'd say it's normal to think this, as long as you have a sense of rationality.

We aren't equal in the first place. They have boobs, we have a penis, they are supposed to be feminine and sweet to attract a male, we are supposed to be strong and masculine to attract a female and you could go on...
It's not a sexist cliche but nature.
Never listen to a feminazi who calls men who want real feminine women weak. In fact the opposite is true: men who kiss up to feminazi ass are those girly men who let women step all over them. Feminazis believe they own a franchise on all womankind but many real feminine attractive women prefer a masculine man and are happy with traditional gender roles. Feminazis are ugly short haired assholes who don't want pretty women to use their power because they're jealous.
