My statement on Feminism [View all]
I think it would be grand to post this on HoF, but since evidently I'm one of the turds on their shit list, I can't. (I'm not inferring anyone else whose name appears on said shit list is a turd, BTW).
The reason I think it's a better fit there is because it would get the widest audience there among those who need to see this, but I think enough will anyway. My views on feminism are pretty much the same as NOW's statement of purpose. I realize that some of it is a bit dated, but this accurately reflects my views on the subject of gender equality pretty much in whole. You can find it here. I think everyone should read it.

I believe in equality. I just do. I don't believe in just the things that benefit men, I believe in equal opportunity for everyone. I have a wife and a daughter and a son. I worry about the interests of my children far more than I do my own. Everyone deserves a fair shake in this world. Equal opportunity doesn't always mean equal outcomes. It means everyone gets the same chance to aspire to the same thing and everyone shares in the responsibilities that it takes to get there. I think that's fair. I think that's right.
