Anyone care to give a definition of feminism.
A lot of what I see people call "feminisms", really isn't, and if anything is just ubiquitous human behavior, or social customs which have been a part of societies since the dawn of mankind.
For example, I've heard some "men's rights" activist argue that forcing men to pay child support is "feminist", but actually, this concept is more likely a holdover from "the good old days", when women typically weren't as able to earn a living on their own as they are today, and men were more expected to be the main provider.
Child support is really just more of a utilitarian social arrangement to make sure that children are provided for, which does discriminate on the basis of social or biological realities, I don't believe it was ever an aspect of any "feminist" movements.
