"You are right. What was I thinking? Women should just suck it up and continue to accept a second-class citizenship, along with all the perks like an average of $.75 for every dollar men earn, objectification, not really being taken seriously by anyone, for any reason. Women should just be quiet and good, be seen and not heard. They don't need to experience the same life choices and opportunities as men. Feminists suck. They are the source of all modern ills. Men are the best. They rock the hizzouse."

All of that is quite a leap from anything you'll find in print by me. So, just to recap...

my assertion was that the modern feminist movement hurts WOMEN by sponsoring objectification and promiscuity, devaluing a choice of full-time motherhood, and the additional point made in the discussion forum is that it also engenders anti-male attitudes for no clear purpose of advancement and accomplishment. If we can move past the vitriol, anger and defensiveness that clearly exists on the part of all parties, the maybe one day we can instead adopt an attitude of respect for each other's ideas. Like racial issues, it would seem this is going to also take an extended cooling off period.
