Article here. Excerpt:

'Modern feminism encourages women to complain about men, the wage gap, and just about everything else as an attempt to somehow be taken seriously. In other words, modern feminism creates a complex relationship with men. Feminists love to hate men—and to hate when men respond with scorn.

Both are addressed in this essay, published Sunday in the New York Times, an excerpt from Jessica Valenti’s new memoir, “Sex Object,” which is out today. It reveals why the modern feminist movement has reached its peak and will soon plummet.

Valenti, The Guardian’s self-described feminist columnist, is so whiny she’s difficult to take seriously. It’s even more difficult to understand how an entire book on this topic is being published. In the excerpt, “What Does a Lifetime of Leers Do To Us?” the 37-year-old author says she has spent her whole “lifetime” being treated like a sex object and now, as a grown woman and a feminist, she wonders how women cope.'

The corollary for men:

A lifetime of being torn between showing an interest in women and risking being seen as a stalker/harasser/abuser vs. not showing interest and risking being seen as inadequate/immature/gay (and being lonely). That's it in a nutshell - you could add a lot to this list.
