This cartoon illustrates the danger in trying to encapsulate a philosophy in a catchy name. No one's beliefs are cookie-cutter enough to fit a label.

Sometimes people get more focused on terms than the concept itself.How are we ever going to really find the answers when we cannot agree on the language used to formulate the question..

Oh wow this comic really backfired. It looks like some people are fighting to oppress men. But in fact this is a comic FOR feminism and AGAINST calling it gender equality. It's an argument about the name of the movement.

Not trying to defend anyone but...but when I was a kid air didn't want to be a Feminist. Why? Because I thought that people who promoted or declared themselves as Feminists were Bossy. I felt this because I studied at an All-Girls School and I was bullied and treated as an Outcast by Girls. I, for some reason have always gotten along better with the Male Sex. But then I realised that I could be a better version of people I met. I can be assertive without being arrogant, I never gossip and never B***h about any man or women. This is just a note to every women out there. We are our BIGGEST enemies. We need to be more accepting and less judgemental about other women and men. If a woman aborts or if she doesn't - support her anyways,it's her life. If a Woman-gains or loses weight, divorces or marries, eat 2 whole pizzas or goes on a diet, is a chauffeur or a doctor, is white or black or red or blue...just accept her. We have a right to our own lives,and how to live them is our decision

thiscomic isa clear representation of sarcasm that also doubles into a whatif scenario ifmen were treated as women. Some are exaggerated tho

This comic is awesome, as a student of history it pretty much nails every aspect of the historical oppression of women and turns it on its head. Its utterly subversive and its exactly what is needed to counter the toxic absurdity of anti feminist bloggers and "activists."

...That's the thing. People are more extreme about feminism, making it ridiculed. I don't care what we call it. I don't care how we do it. Can't we just love and respect one another?? It's not that hard, especially on an individual level. Don't choose a candidate BECAUSE they're a male or female, choose them for their credentials, for their individual traits - and those traits don't include things like gender, race or height. It's about what they do, what they've experienced and who they are inside. Individualism, not about being different from the crowd, but individualism about seeing people for who they are and not what they look like.

All humans are born equal, but what do you expect from a f****d up society, evil people are in power all over the world.

There is no equality nor equal rights. There is only justice.

In fact, she should exchange terms, current feminism is what she calls 'real equality' and vice versa.

I say that we should just let people do what they want besides rape, theft, murder. basically anyone can do what the hell they want as long it doesn't affect someone else in a negative way and if you affect someone in a negative way then eye for an eye unless rape, then we tie you up and let the victim beat the c**p out of you till they feel at peace.

...Humane equality. Anyone?

Why are we naming this? In life, just don't c**p on me and we good. Equality all around. That being said apparently that's impossible, because they all do. Men do - entitled. And women do because - entitled. Cannot win. I just want people to leave me alone.

What you're really saying when you say "I'm a feminist": All of these things.

20% of women actively identify as feminists. 80% of women actively identify as supporting equality. Saying that feminism equates with equality or is necessary for it is a straight up lie.

I wonder... if(like a miracle) all the changes that feminist want truly happen, how many guys will strange about the society(even if its more equal like this).

Feminism IS gender equality. THAT is not gender equality, that is misandry. Equality is self-explanatory. How do you f**k up such a simple term like that?

Why are people who are saying feminism is not about equality getting their comments hidden?

Feminism is a movement and political ideology. It does not hold a monopoly on gender equality, especially considering the blatant sexism modern-day feminism perpetuates.

In my country, feminists are known to express hate towards males. I've been myself confronted by feminists coming from a march, and questioned why was I dressed with a skirt, that a skirt is surely to please male eyes, that my heels belonged to a phallocentric society... and more of such nonsense. Feminists (in my country) also stand against a father claiming custody of his children, even is the kids express that thay don't want to live with their mother, and a lot of other nonsense that instead of giving more power to females, they mean to achieve "equality" by lowering male' rights. So no, I'm not a feminist. I prefer to be called equalist and give more rights to females, not stripping males from theirs. I repeat, in the context of MY country that is Argentina. Maybe in other countries, feminists have a more logic approach.

Loved it!

My God, some guys in the comment section.... Mimimi, it's not all about me mimimi. What a bunch of whiners.

That is hilarious! I see all of the butthurt little boys who are so happy to try and shut us up are frantically commenting and spewing their hysterical terror across the boards. Don't they realize they're proving just how childish and ineffectual they are? It makes you look so small, boys. MEN don't need to do that.

He entirely missed the point. When people say they want gender equality, they mean from this point on. Not going back to dowries and telling men not to go to school so they can learn to raise families lol... Even suggesting that is what people want is ridiculous.

It's a cute attempt to try and kill the very fair statement "I'm not a feminist I'm an egalitarian". It's easy to tear apart the people who are out and out bigots who simply fear all men and call us evil; but the problem with even more general and mainstream feminism is it does harbor similar feelings. The problem is feminism's culture A. Doesn't believe in or want mass debate, convtreversial ideas are often framed as education, disagreement is simply ignorance, and B. It runs off a false victim narrative, whether it be in the form of "women were oppressed for hundreds of years" or even just the idea that to quote from this comment section "Raising the standards for women is a first step, because they are the most disadvantaged - especially when factoring in race and ethnicity, age, religion, etc." This basically all means that even if you can show that men have issues to at best it's simply paid lip service and at worst it's either minimized. Feminism is not about equality.
