What u dont like is EQUALITY. As far as "U cant see a movie without male bashing in it" maybe u need to watch different movies and I do NOT see u complaining about the 100's of movies that show **** and violence towards women. This is a Girl hitting Girl thread, if u want to make a "I wanna winge about equality" then go for it, coz that is where this pack of verbal diohrea belongs
Something you both might find interesting is this scholarly article I found last week:

http://itech.fgcu.edu/&/issues/vol1/issue1/feather.htm

Most women distance themselves from feminism these days, with good reason. The article lays clear the political/power motivations and the way a few wily autocrats easily manipulated women and exploited them and hurt a lot of men just to gain power.

I see the same thing throughout feminist literature, and humanities dept's today.

I have an interest cos as I have said here a while ago, I was abused by women. I mention this because in ****/abuse literature there is a popular title called the courage to heal, which is known and warned against as being one of the most irresponsible and dangerous bits of exploitative junk around. You can google it and find plenty of info about repressed memory syndrome and the like.

The writers are lesbian feminists, and are now understandably very rich.

And what's really awful is so many people have been damaged, really vulnerable people, by things like this.

It's one thing to be comfortable, middle class and have these eccentric ideas. More power to you. But there are predators of every stripe and they really do hurt a lot of already hurting people. And profit wildly in the process.

So, while John is overreacting, I'd rather err on the side of caution, use some of Noam Chomsky's intellectual self defense, then I can see that feminists are politically motivated (we now have a women-only party in Australia for example) and actually put them into perspective. And realise that most women will eventually wise up to things that are obviously false, and just get on with their lives, and realise personal issues are just that, and need tobe healed and gotten over so one can live a fuller life.
