jlaney22 men and women are EQUAL since i don't know1900? i am so tired of this feminism because it has no point. you are fighting against something that doesn't exist. it had a point in 1800 when women were forced to stay home & cook & stuffbut in the 21st century? c'mon
by the waywoman+woman=fights, gossip, backstabbing, competitionetc
feminism=pointless & fake. -

Feminism is irrelevant now in the modern western world - not only are men and women equal but more women are going to college than men, and girls are doing better than boys 2000in school. We should be focusing more on the boys and not drugging them up with ADHD pills just because they act like boys. We should be taking the video games out of their hands and not letting modern technology distract them from their education. Obviously there will still be isolated incidents of sexism, and those need to be dealt with on an individual basis. Often sexism isn't malicious or intentional (i.e. a man hiring another man over an equally qualified woman because he got along better with the man in the interview, they liked the same football team or something and could laugh together and had more in common. It's somewhat sexist and unfair but it's not mean spirited or evil).
I would assume Tyra would consider herself a feminist because she's not intelligent enough to think more deeply about it. The word feminist implies that you think the feminine is better than the masculine, that you think society should be feminized. It doesn't imply equality. If you believe in equality, use a word that implies equality, like equalist. I'm an equalist. -

Well she is in her 30's and not married, there is nothing wrong with that, however being a feminist myself I must say women who wait that long usually are feminist themselves too.
I love you Michael!!!!! -

Whenever Tyra talks about men in general, it's (at least a little) negative most of the time. That is the voice of a possible man-hater, not a feminist. Feminists are supposed to hate misogyny, not men. If she does consider herself to be a feminist, then she's not doing feminism any favors. She's only giving it a bad name; she doesn't hate the evil that men do, she hates men for the evil that they do. She'd be nothing more than a misandrist with "FEMINIST" written on her forehead. She could be a radical feminist, though. They are self-proclaimed man-haters.
