Because even a lot of 'feminists' who originally want equality end up being proper feminist because the name sort of gives them the right to say "Give more stuff to women!" even in situations where it is not required.
What, like porn?

Women have it harder then men regardless of type.

In terms of being an NF male, being an NF has worked to my advantage much more than to my disadvantage. Its really cute, people tend to put on this tough guy shell on the outside (in public) and show me their vulnerable soft side (in private). Even ESTJs and ESTPs. People truly love me. Getting along with INTXs is also very easy for me and talking to them on a deeper level is always exciting.

At first being hypersensitive was a huge problem for me. Having an open mind allowed me to explore myself to the deepest level and crack the source of my hypersensitivity. This and exploring other aspects of my life has allowed me to achieve inner peace at a very young age.

Life was hard at some points for me because I was different, but it really wasn't that bad. In fact, being a christian can make me feel even more alone than being an NF will ever be.

On another note, being an ENFX male or ENTX female is easier than an INFX male or INTX female IMO.

Because the world is harder for women, in general, my answer will have to be NT women have it harder.
It's true, you're much more wuvable than us. :smile:

Officially, I voted for NF men, but I guess it depends on your environment. I live in a fairly liberal place, and while I have had some issues with being different, I've never once experienced any form of sexism, and this is coming from someone who's entering a male-dominated profession. I'd imagine it'd be different were I somewhere else.

I would have to disagree with this statement. As an INTJ female, I get my fair share of crap, but I can comfortably fade into the background if need be. In my experience, ENTx females have it harder simply because they're more visible and more likely to show their differences than INTx females do. But again, YMMV.

I can see why you would say that. The reason why I believe extroverts may have it easier is because they will have a higher chance of finding other people who really connect with them.

I don't know of any female NTs that come to my mind or that I know closely. I don't think a female NT would have any disadvantage over other females, unless they were a really annoying breed of NT. Same goes for NF males. It really isn't a big deal, unless it is dramatized.
