Prince Kurupati I totally disagree. President Mugabe is one of the few that has the fortitude and courage to stand against western greed and oppression. He is demonized for merely claiming the land for the original people of Zimbabwe. Why should the white invaders be allowed to keep the stolen legacy that belongs to Black people? The biggest reason for the social unrest in Zimbabwe are western economic sanctions and political manipulation.

That such an intelligent woman embraces feminism is just mind boggling.

Then maybe it's time to consider that you may be unintelligent for dismissing it.

tamicha1 I don't need to dismiss an ideology that favors one gender over the other in the hopes that one gender can actually win over the other. It's a preposterous ideology that is a cover for man hate. You can pretend it isn't but at it's core that is what feminism is and don't give me the excuse that there are only a few bad apples. Those bad apples are its leaders! Have a nice day!

slytheron I'm beginning to think no one learned anything about male privilege from the Elliot Rodger shooting spree. *deep sigh*

antigoniem06 Hahahah so basically what you're saying is that if some crazed woman shot people because she was crazy, am supposed to assume she's somehow privileged? Does that make sense to you? SMH.

Feminism, by definition, is about equality. That's what she supports
