Professional feminists' of Poland meet-up [631]
It depends what you mean by 'equal in the eyes of the law'.
Women who choose to have children shouldn't be forced or willing to work or to pursuit career. I see maternity leave as a privilege granted to women due to biological and psychological differences between genders.
I do not begrudge women their privilege but I'm pointing out that women are not treated badly in a society.
In reality society is not divided on men and women but on families and singles, wise and dumb, good and bad, educated and uneducated, rich and poor and those in-between.There are many inequalities in society which cannot be cured by the courts, women are not a perpetual victims or an underdog of society.
Dichotomy between sexes is artificial, created by the faulty political system which is exploiting natural differences in society to its advantage. In this light feminism is noting else but a redundant gnarl on society aiming at empowering few to rule over people using concept of the gender struggle. That concept have been derived from an old Marxist idea called the class struggle.
Once you accept the principle that feminism is about creating social equality rather than equality in legal rights, I think you will look differently at most of what feminism has achieved, and still wants to achieve.
I do not believe that something what is in fact an idea leading to totalitarianism would be beneficial to the society.
