The Mercatorum have never really needed feminism, culturally and politically women have enjoyed the same respect and legal standing as men in the Republics since our founding.

There are roles in Mercatorum society considered distinctly feminine and masculine, but there is no disparagement (or at least there has not been for some time) for those who do not conform to them.

Women in Krytak have the same rights as men do, and do not face any discrimination based on sex. Foreign feminist movements have tried to make their way into our nation, however Krytanian women tend to condemn such movements, since they do more to drive a wedge in society.

Feminism is wholly supported by the government. Women are seen as being oppressed by patriarchal cultural norms, and the Progressive government is keen to stamp out all forms of discrimination. Feminist activism has led to a number of measures being taken to remove the fundamental disadvantages that women face in our society. Laws legalising abortions at any stage in the pregnancy for any reason, laws against prostitution, pornography and stripping, longer maternity leave and the introduction of paternity leave, heavy punishments for rape, sexual assault and spousal abuse and quotas for the number of women in government have all been introduced. Laws to ban discriminatory language in all public places also included speech that discriminates against women.

Radical feminism and the obsession with gender equality/neutrality are generally laughed at and mocked quite considerably. Because they're not only pointless, but they take their causes to absolutely ridiculous levels.

Oh..Well, any type of protester that's randomly bickering and arguing in public will be arrested and sent to jail for at least two days (most likely more depending on what they did + how they did it.) or possibly sent to prison. We have Zero tolerance towards mess like this.

What kind, the old feminism or neo-feminists?

We respect women's rights, however they are not 100% equal with men, close, but not entirely.

Well in that case, I may add: That they would be incredibly stupid to go public with such opinions here, unless the majority of them were logical.

This 'feminism' phenomenon has never occurred in Irken society, and would be illogical as there is only a few cosmetic differences between males and females, nothing of any significance.

Feminism such as on Earth rarely does exist on Niriburu and it would be considered silly. It wouldn probably even considered serious enough to be persecuted or even monitored.

Niriburuian Mentality is quite different and pragmatic when it comes to gender affairs. Earthwoman would be surprised about how Niriburuian Woman deal with many situations differently.

That doesn't means that Women have less rights (despite there are various decrees and Laws that in the one or one way discrimminating on gender) or a lower state in Niriburuian Society. In fact many high Positions in the Government and Miliary are held by females, especially considering that the Military is one of the few meritocratic institutions on Niriburu.

It's a thoroughly obsolete ideology. In a society where reproduction is artificial, marriage and family non-existent and the only real difference between men and women is their biological sex, there aren't much reasons that would justify such an idea's continued existence.
Proud National Socialist. Blaming everything on the liberals since 2000.

The fact that slaves are allowed to elect their masters does not abolish the division in masters and slaves.

Don't try to deride me by calling me an "-ist" or "-phobe" unless you are referring to a medical condition or are trying to compliment me.

Socially-liberal capitalist democracy DOES NOT equate to free society.

Contrary to popular belief, National Socialists aren't racists. They simply hate their own race less than others.

While feminism would be expected given that:
1. Females can't serve in the military
2. Females may not travel alone
3. Women are restricted by the culture and have more difficulty finding jobs,

However, most women who suffer enough to care are too poor to have time, and upper class live In too much luxury for them to care. Of course, feminism happens occasionally, but is generally ignored, and for many, having almost always at least one female tribunal member is enough

They get tasered. If they are also religious they get shot.

Our society treats everybody equally with no barriers (unless they are religious). There is no reason for feminism to exist here apart from some extremists trying to ruin things for the majority.

Postby Radiatia » Tue Apr 16, 2013 11:05 pm

Radiatia has a surprisingly long history of anti-feminism, with universal suffrage having not been granted until 15 years after the fall of communism. (At the time such laws were decided by states - some states let women vote, others didn't). A new constitution forced all states to allow women to vote.

Feminism tends to be more supported in southern and eastern states, as well as in urban areas, and any area where people are more highly educated. In these states women have pretty much fully equal rights - they can be CEOs and run for President if they wish.

However in more rural states, such the north and especially the central states, although federal law prohibits discrimination against women, it does little to curb the tide of misogyny and social discrimination, with such states sometimes exploiting loopholes to treat women as second class citizens when and where possible.

In consideration of the fact that women are treated with absolute equality, guaranteed by statute, "feminists" are very much looked down upon my Gordano-Lysandian society. Though their right to protest is permitted, they're not allowed to pull publicity stunts at other people's expense for there is no due reason for them even to be doing it.

There's only one organisation of this type, in Gordano-Lysandus, that being the Front for Female Fortification. A hotbed of anti-male sexism, it consists of mainly lower class women who have either lost their children in custody battles or committed crimes. Not a reputable group.

In Capo we don't cluster people into specific groups of gender or race, each and every individual enjoys extensive civil and political liberties. It is our view that feminism can be in some cases labeled as an extremist viewpoint due to its nature of favoring one gender over another.

Santadel's First King was Female.

Postby Santadel » Tue Apr 16, 2013 11:28 pm

Yes, you heard that right, back before Santadel was named for her, Adele Sorendot became the Commonwealth's first King. That was 1802, and women's voting rights were instituted a few years before the Commonwealth's founding. Adele, herself, was a Viking warrior who led a coalition of Old Norse natives (the Voltings) and Balmarki refugees in battle to re-capture her country's biggest city: Herbert'avn. With the defeat of the fanatic Balmarki Shepherd's Church outside of the city, the tide of the war turned and eventually, the enemy was driven out and the Commonwealth was established. Shortly thereafter, under King Adele's leadership, the Commonwealth declared itself free & independent of Balmark for good.

King Adele is considered the Mother of the Country, and Santadelies revere her to this day.

Since 1937, Santadel rotates its Kings between the two primary genders, and since 1948, almost half of the Chancellors-General have been women. Prostitution is legal, represented, and regulated in Santadel. Domestic violence laws are enforced, and marriage is open to all genders. Education, jobs, and military roles --including infantry and gunnery-- have been open to women since King Adele's reign, and to all genders since 1979.

Feminism is not an issue in Santadel, though discrimination does occur now and again. When that happens, egalitarian laws and the attitudes behind them usually prevail.

Bikethage has a post-patriarchal society which means that feminism is a movement which has done its work and then dissolved.

All citizens are raised gender-neutral, and puberty delayed until each person decides for him- or her-self which sex and gender zie wishes to become, if any.
Anyone can change gender or sex at any time. Currently there are 12 recognized sexes and about 50 distinct gender expressions to choose from. The process takes about a year to complete, and people retain their jobs and salaries regardless of their S&G.
Babies are gestated in artificial wombs, so that adult citizens do not bear the inconvenience and risk of pregnancy and birth.

The elimination of S&G distinctions in legal matters was the key victory for the feminist cause that allowed for its eventual phasing out.
Misunderstood as opposition against men as a class, feminism was actually a movement to dismantle patriarchy, the implicit ordering of society by gender, which had been just as pervasively oppressive in its way against men as it was against women (though with more overtly oppressive effects on women).

Bikethage celebrates the age of feminism with a week-long national festival in which the citizens divide themselves arbitrarily into Men's and Women's camps, each with rigidly enforced costumes and roles, and gradually through the week, cast off the repressive clothes and break out of stereotyped activities, so that by the end of the week they restore the unique multihued chaos of modern existence without fear and repression.
