I don't understand why feminists would play a male theocracy's game. The twitter poster is from UNWatch, an accredited UN NGO. Nor does he Iranian feminist activist by looks of things.

That cant be right, how in the world can you make out a move to equality is a bad thing, simply because its not in favor or the mums.

Just shocking

What gets me is "The long nights spent wondering if they are sleeping sweetly or crying out for Mummy", really; A) She sounds deluded B) what's wrong with dad?, C) What makes "Mummy" so special? D) If your kids are like that then they really need to man up and the parenting is to blame.

Just noticed as well that the article says the office manager is without her kids at the weekends, thats only 2 days a week (3 if you count Friday after school)......4/7 is not a 50/50 split.

The article is a clear example of how we in the U.K. Live in a gynocentric society, the ongoing success of feminism is now in hiding that from everybody. But of course third wave feminism is not about equality at all.

I haven't paid much attention to the French election campaign and have little idea of their (Front National) policies (aside from their intent to severely limit immigration).
I must say that was a devastating indictment of extremist leftist/third wave feminism, and very well delivered.

Meanwhile, women get cancer at high rates because sexism

I mean, why let the actual doctor get a word in edgeways? Like he'd have any knowledge of the causes of cancer, the feminist "comedian" knows better than him

I was thinking during the first (cancer) clip that she sounded quite reasonable.
She didn't seem to me to be blaming women's cancer on men's dangly bits at all.

However, I watched a couple of her other interviews and that second clip sums up her usual attitude pretty well I'd say.
Everything that is wrong with the world = sexism.
To her credit, I never heard the word "misogyny".

There are plenty of nutters in both the third wave feminist, and the Alt-Right camps.
I (try to) avoid both.
