Feminism, today, continues to focus on women rather than on equality. If you continually look around the internet, you can see this to be evident. Many continue to belittle men and the things they deal with on a regular basis because of reasons I can't even comprehend. It is no longer a "good movement". It has been corrupted by a new age of women who are content to bitch about arbitrary things rather than act against actual problems facing women (and men, for that matter). At least, that is how it is here in the West. The only reason feminism has a negative connotation is because it has brought it upon itself.

And also selection bias, which means that we see the things that interest us, which tends to include people standing under banners and looking like total assholes. Same problem plagues Christianity -- everybody loves to hate a bigot, which means the bigots get all the airtime and Pastor Dan ships 90% of his meager donation-based salary to a Bolivian orphanage and you've never even heard of him. Such is the human condition.

But.

Feminism (particularly in the US) is -- in my estimation -- around the bend, over the hill, past its prime, whatever you want to call it. My case-in-point is the ease with which the feminist movement can be manipulated for political gain, and you need look no further than the "WAR ON WOMEN" of 2012. But if you *did* look past the 'WAR ON WOMEN' of 2012, you'd see so-called feminist leaders foaming at the mouth because some women in this country would rather stay at home that pursue a corporate posting. 'Blood for Oil' did more for women's rights than anything the feminazis have cooked up in 20 years, and that's not a compliment towards Bush, that's an indictment against.... shit, I don't know, who's the great feminist leader of our era? I can't name one. Again, indictment. 

Modern feminism **seems to me** (again, selection bias in full effect) to be wholly comprised of facile arguments and facebook posts. I don't know what we're supposed to be caring about or fighting for now.... but I'm probably not caring about it, or fighting for it.
