goodthings, what or to whom are you referring to? I'm not entirely sure I understand your viewpoint or where you're coming from. Or even what you're arguing against. Or even if you're actually arguing anything, for that matter.


You have yet to actually voice an opinion. Or research, for that matter. You've voiced the fact that you're offended, I suppose you have a right to be offended. I'm still not sure what exactly you're offended about, though.


While I agree that certain posters did put a simplistic explanation I would challenge your idea that "militant feminists" are rare. I do go to college and I know quite a few. In fact, of the women I know that would consider themselves "feminists" the majority believe the concept that men oppress women because we have to be in charge blah blah blah .


That's what these guys think of when they hear "feminist" and if they haven't seen something else they would naturally respond with a dislike towards what they've seen of feminism. While I suppose it's technically ignorant getting angry at them for it is like getting angry at a child for his ignorance. The only cure for ignorance is knowledge. Being offended and haughty about it simply demonstrates arrogance and I'm pretty sure that's not the message you wanted to send.


I simply must challenge your statements because they contradict each other in nature. It appears you do not agree that feminism is hostile to men in nature and that it is instead liberating yet your posts appear both hostile and degrading towards yourself. Why?


I want you to continue in this thread because I honestly don't know your position nor where you're coming from. I can't agree or disagree with your statements. I'm not even sure what you're offended about.


Perhaps out of my ignorance? =)
