[QUOTE="Mcfadden, post: 742928, member: 72865"] Of course there is good work done in these movements today. But not nearly as much as there was done in older times. I think part of the problem is that we now have social media, and key messages get around like chinese whispers. It starts off as one thing, then gets filtered through blogs and re-blogs, and people putting their personal twist on a key message which changes it into something completely different and then the wrong type of messages spread like wildfire. And I guess that's how we get such diverse pockets of feminism, or whatever movement it is. If you honestly think that the misguided people who propose wayward policy to fix imbalances are just a couple of people here and there then you are wrong. I live in the first country to give woman the right to vote, and not that long ago it was proposed by the opposition party (second largest party) that 50% of their caucus be women. For no reason other than they're women; not based on skill, knowledge, experience, anything. That kind of solution, or proposing that one CEO who happens to be a woman gets paid as much as another CEO (who might be doing something different or have a different level of expertise) is completely wrong. I'm not talking about Black Lives Matter. I'm talking about the copious amounts of social media outlets where people who purport to be part of these movements spew their disgusting nonsense. Where they openly say "good, now you know how we felt after many years." Their big solution is demonize a group in society, because apparently two wrongs make a right, and it's more tempting to do than to find constructive solutions. And I say again, it's more than 'one or two' people here and there. Anyway, going a bit off topic here so I'll give you the last say. [/QUOTE]
