Feminism today is not about equality, but superiority. Its the "I've got
mine, screw you." mentality of politics.... If we men complain

==================================
No, it's not You are confusing a very small minority of loud mouthed
radical feminists with equity feminists that only seek simple outright
equality and respect.
The only men that complain are the mindless patriarchal social
conservatives that have an agenda of getting their flock riled up. It
is a black or white thing with these less than intelligent people.
The right wing fascist goons like Rush, the Christian
Reconstructionists, and their like stereotype women activists-feminists
into one group. They call themselves "libertarian"; that is ludicrous
and the typical deceptive logorrhea for the right. They are "Guns and
Gawd" people only. They would scrap the establishment clause in a
second if they could............jim
attached mail follows:
To accuse me, or any other woman on this list of having a problem with men
as a gender is absolute nonsense. The most beloved person in my life is a
man, and a very masculine one at that.
I view your diatribe as a revealing of what you think of women, more than
of what we think of men. I hope that you will think about that, and stop
using transhumanist and libertarian ideas as a platform for your own anger
towards women. Until then, I do not plan to respond to any more of this.
