"Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women.

Feminism seeks to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

My position? Feminism is still relevant although the degree of relevance depends on the particular society under consideration.

Sounds reasoned to me.

If Abbott ever becomes PM, I guess the question of how relevant feminism may be, will become apparent once more.
Because this clown has daughters, he likes to try and have people believe he has an "enlightened" attitude towards women, which is clearly false, like almost everything he claims about himself.
Whether that is from a lack of self awareness, or just a lack of credibility, or maybe both, but whatever it is, nobody who really values and cares about equality for women, would even consider wanting this bloke as our PM.

Lucky all the misandrists are a worthless portion of the population.
