The world needs more feminism

Sorry, I'm rather late as well. Here is my opening statement While the Oxford dictionary may define feminism as such, I will also consider what feminism actually is in the United States, and the impact it has had on the western world. Also, I would like to point out quickly that if someone considers everyone equal, they must also be considered meninists (or whatever you may consider this to be)as well as feminists, and so on. The premise of my argument is that feminism is an unnecessary and contorted association, that does no good for women or men alike. I would like to first define being "equal" as having equal opportunity, because in this country that is what matters. If you say "equal" as we refer to it in math, that is leaning towards a communist government where each person is treated as another robot, and the individual does not exist. This point here should not be too debatable, that when we say we are equal, we mean we have equal opportunity. Now, because the topic is about the world in general, I will also address the western world. And my first contention is that, well, we have equal opportunity here. We technically have the same opportunities and benefits, and the law prohibits discrimination against someone due to sex, so legally they are covered. Women are equal under the law. BUT, beyond this, I belive western feminists have gone too far, and are now promoting a more socialist agenda of radicalism rather than equal rights. If we begin to define equality as simply "equal", we come out with the idea that humans are exactly the same, and should be treated as such. This is where regimes stifle individualizations and living your life how you want to see it lived is simply a dream. So, here, I just want to show that women are legally equal, but if you venture into personal equality, you start to go down a path of socialism. Because you cannot, no matter how hard you try, force someone to change his or her mind. People are seperate and individual, and we have our own thoughts because we were meant to, and shutting that down is a violation of our rights as human beings, at least here. Sorry I didn't quote definitions here, by the way. I figured these simple ideas didn't need an official definition, because of he different ways we use it. Although the far majority of the population believes in sexual equality, and legally females are equal (in the western world), feminism still has a chokehold on how we think, and I would like to point out a major effect of this movement- the degration of the value of a woman: think about a relationship in the 50s- a guy would usually need to court a girl and win her trust before anything happens, and parties were more of a social interaction than mass orgies[1]. Today, girls are treated as absolute objects, only serving a temporary purpose before the guy moves on to his next choice. Divorce rates are at about 50% [2], showing that women and men alike are not being taught how to preserve a sustainable relationship. In conclusion, I would now like to say that developing countries would have more of a problem than a solution with feminism. Great societies have been built on traditional relationships and standards, and to be honest, I don't believe I need to cite a source here, the west has only experienced decline and relative turmoil since the liberal/feminist push began. In developing societies, what is necessary is the traditional roles of men and women, no matter how much it sounds bad. It is psychologically and sexually [3] beneficial to a couple to sustain normal gender roles. I don't believe a lack of feminism has anything to do with keeping developing nations down, being more about influence of the west in these nations and not allowing them to develop on their own power. Feminism is, beyond equal laws, a Marxist organization that shows itself to support equal rights, when instead it really represents the idea that everyone is the same, and people are no different from one another.
