As feminism plunges the world further and further into the dark ages, we now have the seeds of another inquisition. Guess who get's the short end of the burning stake? I say this with tongue in cheek - I think.

I just read through a fair number of responsese on the forum part after that article, and I thought the discussion was about women but was respectful of men. In fact it was a pretty darn interesting discussion and if they hadn't requested that only women respond I'd have thrown my 2 cents in.
The posts I read conveyed to me how strikingly different some women view "feminism". The women over there define feminism in virtually identical terms to the way I define "masculism" or the mens movement. It's about respect, honoring the commonalities and the differences, and true equality not entitlement. I think these women would be shocked if they read some of the hate published by the leaders of the feminist movement, and frankly I feel they'd reject it. The few responses that I read that mentioned the more radical components of feminism tended to dismiss it or point to it as a reason why the person did not consider herself a feminist.
A good read, and refreshing since most often when I read the writings of women these days they're full of hate and vindictiveness.

How can a movement that excludes and often simply oppresses be on any equal standing with a group the founder of which claimed had come "..to declare freedom for the captives" and favour and acceptance? It would be hypocrisy.
