Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I think the word for that is gender egalitarism or gender equality. And depending on how you define Feminism, feminism is just a part of that. Or maybe not if you define it another way. Feminism has had several waves and comes in different forms, so the entire term is vague.
I think it kind of depends what you're trying to convey. If you're talking to a feminist and aren't aware modern societies are patriarchal, and now badly this needs to be addressed... but you start an uneducated conversation on equality and how men need to be factored in, too... You might be technically correct, but you're not going to make friends. That's kind of dismissive of what they focus on, and showing you're not really equipped to recognize the issues they might face.
And the difference in my definition would be mainly focus. Feminism might be part of gender egalitarianism for most people. It's just the part that necessarily advocates for just treatment of women. Everything else might come on top, fighting for other people too, or hating them... That's just beyond the definition.
