Thanks
for your note to FEMINIST.COM.
And here are my attempts at
answering your questions:
Q.
Are there different types of
feminists? Like there can be
different types of sects in
religions.
A. All feminists have
the same goal of equality--so
in that sense there is only
one feminist. However, so many
different people are feminists--Christians,
Lawyers, White Men, Asian Women,
Waitresses, Arabs, etc.... so
there is no one way to stereotype
a feminist.
Q.
If so what do they believe in?
A. In addition to what
is laid out above--different
feminists agree on different
paths to equality. For instance,
some feminists want to transform
the media. Others believe only
in changing the lives and some
believe purely in living my
example.
Q.
Do feminists think of themselves
as better than men?
A. No.
Q. And do chauvinists think
of themselves as better than
women?
A.-- It seems implicit.
Q.
Would feminists help anyone
female? Or just the ones of
their own type? I mean like
if they chose to live a lifestyle
that you do not agree with but
they need help because they
were being oppressed because
of their choice which they themself
are happy with.
A. The point of feminism
is to ensure that every person
has enough information to be
able to make informed choices
about their lives. When that
is done, the world will be much
healthier. For example, take
the right to choose whether
or not to have an abortion--while
certain feminists wouldn't make
this choice for themselves,
no feminist could deny this
choice to other women.
