I'm a feminist AMA

If you want :) And as a prior clarification I do not hate men (how unheard of). [b]Edit: The Purpose of this Post[/b] We've established I am a feminist. I see so much hatred, sometimes downright disgusting hatred toward feminists. It's really not too different from hating any other group of people. And I know that a lot of the people expressing hatred believe feminists to be man-hating, radical women who wish for superiority. I don't hate anyone, but those people get on my nerves too. I understand. However what I was shown feminism was is much different from that, and that view comes to my mind before anything else. Complete equality of the sexes. So when I see these posts showing absolute hatred for feminists, I can't help but think that many of these people could be grown men with wives and kids, and they don't support women and men being equal... They could be a mother who knows her son is bullied for not being masculine enough, and only say, "stop acting like a girl." I [i]know[/i] that's not how most people are, but there are probably some... So I made this most to clear some of the negative stigma feminists get. So that maybe some people can see that we're reasonable people, we're not crazed haters of men. Those are radicals. They've soured a good purpose. Thanks for reading. Edit: I am very surprised to have gotten this many comments, especially with the majority of them being very polite! I'm trying my best to answer everyone! Thank you for all the questions, and sorry if I ever came across as impolite! Edit 2: Special thanks to everyone who has promoted discussion in a civil way. And no judgment to those who are egalitarians! I completely understand not wanting to be a part of the stigma feminism has received recently! Edit 3: Wow, this has been (for the most part) a great discussion. I really do appreciate the people offering me statistics regarding both men and women! I will be sleeping soon so if I don't answer any questions for a while that's why!
