College Liberal on sexual orientation and preferences.

Have you studied feminist theory?

There aren't any feminist theories. Theories are based on an abundance of evidence and are falsifiable. Critical "theory," socialist or Marxist "theories," the long list of hyphenated "theories" that begin with "radical," "liberal," "libertarian," or "Eco" are not theories because they are not falsifiable. You can't show me even a few prominent examples of the hundreds of thousands of feminist scholars, journalists, lawyers, policical scientists, operations researchers, et al, who have ever even attempted to falsify any feminist "theory". I'll bet you don't even know one. Not even one. Because feminism is dogma. It is as much a theory as the theory that Jesus is the messiah sent by Yaweh to wash away your sins with his blood. Feminists use language like "theory" to trick dimwits into thinking there is a rational basis for feminism in the same way creationists misappropriate such language to trick hillbillies into thinking their dogma about the age of the earth is a reasoned alternative to the theory of evolution. Feminists are the foot washing baptists of the academy. So the a answer to your question is, yes, I am intimately familiar with the feminist dogma that you wrongly describe as "theory".

I'm saying that Feminism holds equality for all,

I'm saying that feminists claim feminism says that it advocates for equality to scam rubes into thinking it's not a cancerous opponent of equality while it's actions are the opposite in the same way that Bernie Madoff says he wants his clients to make big profits while he robs them.

not that all proponents of feminism uphold this in their actions.

ALL feminists uphold this in their actions. We know this because NO feminists have hired lobbyist to pass a bill requiring equality in conscription and combat. We know this because NO feminists have filed lawsuits to make available scholarships that are reserved for women only equally to men. We know this because NO feminists have introduced bills in legislatures requiring that women and men meet the same physical fitness requirement for civil service job, and NO feminists have resigned their women's studies endowments because their schools don't offer equal men's studies.

I'd argue that feminism is often applied incorrectly

I would argue that it's been applied exactly as designed and intended.

as well which has created the mass of misinformed people like you.

I am not misinformed. We can easily test that assertion. In fact, we have. And I passes the test. The test was for you to show me any evidence that The League of Women Voters, the AAUW, NOW, the Ms. Foundation, etc., have demanded with demonstration marches, with lawsuits, with legislation, with media campaigns, with grants, and so on, equality in criminal sentencing, equality in conscription, equality in access to scholarships, equality in access to domestic violence shelters, equality in access to contraceptives, equality in compensation for work, and so on. You completely failed to show even one fact that contradicts me. I am not misinformed. What actions have YOU done for any of these things? Have you written a letter to the editor demanding that male civil servants get paid the same as female civil servants? Or organized a boycott of advertisers who fund shows that promote and glorify domestic violence against men, like Seinfeld? Or is it fair and accurate to say that your words empathize with equality, but your actions reveal that you don't give a shit about equality?

Also, you keep demanding sources that prove feminist theory promotes equality, but provide none of your own to support your argument that feminism is gender-biased.

Okay. I'll provide a complete list of sources: ALL OF THEM. that's my list. Every issue of Ms. Magazine. Every agenda from the annual meeting of NOW. Every single press release from the Women's Caucus. Every grant from the Ms. Foundation. Every platform from the League of Women Voters. Every sign at every Slut Walk. Every fundraising letter from a university women's studies department. ALL OF THEM.

Now that you have seen the evidence on both sides, why not abandon the fantasy that feminism is about equality? If you can't,it just goes to show that it's dogma.
