Again,   w h y    v o t e   n o Because now in days, women are equal to men,atleast in the western world, so now feminism complains about pointless things, like sexist air conditioning.

If feminism was the same as egalitarism, then why dont they complain about men's issues? In fact, why does feminism even exist in the westen world? Shouldnt it of dissolved, since it got its goal 15-18 years ago? Why doesnt feminism complain about Sharia law, which actually oppresses women?

And why the fuck does feminism support being obese? Like, morbidly obese?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGbw47yyOCg Then it should've been specified as to what feminism is in the post; feminismˈfɛmɪnɪz(ə)m/nounnoun: feminism
 * 1) the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes.

Feminism is the fight for equality, not superiority, people. But actons speak louder than words. Feminism used to be empowering women, but now it's turned into garbage.

Lets have an example. Communism. We all know that in practice that communism just sucked.

Here's its definition.

a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.

Doesnt sound that bad right? On paper it doesnt, but in practice it costed millions and millions of lives.

Also, the "equality" part. If feminism never talks about men's issues, then it's not for equality, atleast for men. Ding dong your opinion is wrong!

At least the feminism bit, I agree that Communism was an issue.

Let's look at those links.

"Why are feminists complaining about dumb things like 'sexist air conditioning'?"

They aren't. If you actually took a moment to look at the feminist argument, you'd understand that no one cares about AC right now. That's dumb. I mean, I guess it could be annoying that your AC is worse than someone else's, but... no.

The feminist argument is actually, women are equal to men, and should be treated as such, and men are equal to women, and should be treated as such.

Which is a nice seque into your next point, "Feminism never talks about men's issues"

That's also not true. Toxic masculinity, the idea that men should be forced into military service or into manual labor, that their mental illnesses are less valid, or that men should be kept from staying at home to be near their children... these are all issues feminists understand.

Next up, "Females are on an equal playing feild as men".

Look, I hate to say it, but neither are equal right now. Neither men nor women are in a good place. Sure, it's better than, say, the 1800s but there are still deep social, psychological, and economic issues.

Here's my link: http://www.cawp.rutgers.edu/current-numbers

You can see that women make up 19.8% of Congress, 23% of the Senate, and 19.1% of the house. The supreme court is equal in gender which is good, but... there is a staggering divide of inequality.

When it comes to men, there aren't as many male teachers (at least in my experience). Males are more likely to be victims of homicide– here's a Wikipedia page.They're also more likely to perpetrate homicide.

So yeah, be a Feminist. No, we aren't equal. And a last clarification– Feminists ≠ TERFs, before you try to make that point.
