The reason it seems to you that broadly defined reasonable behaviour gets all thrown in the feminism bag is because feminism just asks people to act reasonably with women; it does encompass a broad set of reasonable behaviour. As the quote goes, "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people." Yet this is so hard to achieve.
- lotsofmangos 12y agoThe idea that women are people is not confined to feminism. You could of course argue that all outlooks that regard women as people are de-facto feminist, however this would still not make them feminism. A good example would be ancient Sparta. Their society definitely regarded women as people, however Spartan society is not feminism.
- frandroid 12y agoThe fact that Sparta treated women better than the average Mediterranean city-state makes it ipso facto feminist.
