Pro-feminist/Talk

Moved entry to / Talk because I believe it to be incorrect and offensive.

"Pro-feminist"

"A male feminist. Maintream feminism generally prefer this term for feminist men instead of "feminist", rationalizing that men can't be real feminists because they aren't women and that's why the feminist movement has to be sexually exclusive. See feminism"

WTF? Did we completely give up on the idea of neutrality? Maybe people who don't know what they're talking about shouldn't write about it?

No, we absolutely have not given up on the idea of neutrality. Please see neutral point of view.

It really bothers me that some people are using Wikipedia as a platform for bias of any sort. The original entry was out of line: no, it's silly to assert that "pro-feminist" just means "male feminist," and the purpose of the entry itself, as presented, is nothing other than to diss feminists! Moreover, just completely deleting it strikes me as also slightly out of line. Any deletion of significant amounts of text should be explained clearly, and politely.

I have a suggestion: partisans, avoid writing on subjects about which you are partisans, unless you can write in such a way as not to cause other people to get their panties (or knickers, if you prefer) in a bunch! --LMS

I don't know whether it needs its own article, or merely a quick mention in the feminism article, but pro-feminist could be defined as:

A pro-feminist supports the views and goals of feminism. While the term may be used in the general sense, some writers apply it only to men, believing that the feminist movement has to be sexually exclusive.

Is this neutral enough for use (somewhere)? Ed Poor
