Anita Erskine has disagreed with feminists who believe they are at war with men, arguing that feminism is more about empowering women than blaming men.
According to the celebrated TV & radio personality, feminism is a positive concept which centres more on a woman and their beliefs and abilities.
It is not about casting blames on men as the cause of everything wrong with women.
“I love being a feminist…a feminist is someone who understands the basis of her beliefs, who is eager to teach another generation of women the rights and wrongs. A feminist is someone who is not afraid to share no matter what,” she said.
She was speaking on Keeping It Real With Joselyn Dumas On GHone TV on the topic ‘Are Women Our Own Enemies?’
“…I don’t like how everybody gets up and calls themselves a feminist. A feminist is not someone who hates men. It’s like the moment they hear you’re married then you’re not a feminist,” she added.
There is currently a new breed of feminists who have sprung up and are taking on society in their bid to fight for women’s empowerment.
But running parallel to this movement is a separate conversation over whether this radical brand of feminism, which oftentimes seeks to blame everything on men, is more or less productive to the overall cause of women’s empowerment.

The idea of feminism has never changed. I hope you are not saying this box you are married and noe know that feminism is a losing battle. Feminism is just demonic, fighting God's plan for womanhood and usurping power from men. Have you noticed since start of feminism, so am have become more debased and cheap? Fight someone with your strength and not your weakness. Why then do you say women need more maternity leave and more seat in parliament, if it's about voting? Equality with men is impossible so learn how to satisfy men to live comfortably so we take good care of you. It is Devine and no feminist ***barred word*** can change it!
Those who preach "hard core" feminism are generally lady who feel they should have been in charge but the men have stolen what is theirs. That is one reason why when some of them are put in charge of a place, they make life difficult for everyone because they are uncomfortable and are afraid to fail. Some of them have taken to lesbianism but unfortunately for them when it comes to s.e.x., they use a representation of a man's organ to satisfy their partner or themselves in private. They are generally selfish or self-centered. That generation of feminist sprouted the maxim " What a man can do, a woman can do better" as though there is war of the genders. Many of such feminists are unmarried or cannot stay married because of their egos and continue to "CHEW-ON" and suffer emotionally in private.
WELL SAID ANITA. How on earth do women think they can succeed this feminist campaign without the involvement of MEN or even their own husbands at home. They made it seams like MEN are the causes of all their problems. When you see them and ignore them they have a problem. they will even ask you eeeei didn't you see me. They always want complement from MEN. Even our mothers at home need complement from their mail sons more than the ladies at home. I will advice all our MEN to also begin to sit their somewhere quietly and forget about theis confuse people. Now they are even fighting for the right to show their nakedness. No one will stop you when you show your nakedness we will watch it for you. Its happening in EUROPE now and the MEN go and watch it to refresh their brains. I'am tied of this confuse people
i DON'T THINK THIS WOMAN KNOWS WHAT SHE IS PART OF. I IMPLORE HER TO READ PEER REVIEWED FEMINIST LITERATURE AND TELL ME WHICH ONE DOESN'T PREACH THE HATRED OF MEN. LOOK AT ALL THE WRITINGS FOR WOMEN'S STUDIES SUBJECT WHICH THROUGH EMBARRASSMENT METAMORPHOSED INTO GENDER STUDIES BOOKS. LISTEN TO MP JESSICA PHILLIPS WHO ACTUALLY LAUGHED IN PARLIAMENT OF ALL PLACES ABOUT TESTICULAR CANCER WHEN SOMEONE WAS CAMPAIGNING FOR ATTENTION TO BE DIVERTED TO IT. WELL WHAT YOU SOW IS WHAT YOU REAP. MEN ARE TIRED OF IT. NOW THEY ARE GOING THEIR OWN WAY. WOMEN NOW HAVE TO DO THE CHASING WHICH IS REFRESHING. NOW EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE BEFORE YOU ARE COUPLED SO THAT WHEN IT GETS TO BREAK UP YOU SHED YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ELSE BUGGER OFF.
