"In 2008, feminism is still an f-word"

Article here. Notice how men losing jobs in construction and manufacturing is considered a bright future for women. Excerpt:

'Today, women have reproductive freedom. More women are independent, thanks to affirmative action hiring that gave them access to better-paying jobs. More women with more money helps them escape abusive relationships, as evidenced by the drop in reported homicides.

And the future looks bright.

Women outnumber men in most university faculties and, reports BusinessWeek, are better suited to the knowledge economy, "which rewards supposedly female traits such as sensitivity, intuition, and a willingness to collaborate.

This while traditionally male jobs, in construction and manufacturing, are disappearing.
...
So here we are, at the end of 2008, and "feminism" is still not only misunderstood and deliberately misinterpreted, it's still an f-word.

Count on me in 2009 to keep flipping the misogynists the bird.'

This is standard feminist media fare from a typical manhater. But this chestnut stood out to me:

"Anything to keep women hostages to biology, which is where God reportedly decreed they should be."

Hmm...no mention of paternity fraud, and making men hostages.

Are we really surprised?

"Women outnumber men in most university faculties"

Hmm... if it were the other way around, would she be saying that "the future looks bright"?

a plan for fighting the destroyers of mankind in '09.

my new year's resolve is to:

1. keep rubbing thier noses in their ineptitude
every time it surfaces.

2. widen my scope of influence, such as posting
my comments more widely on these sites.

3. go into women's sites and call them out there.
take the fight to them, so to speak.

that should be a good plan. not so much as i can't do.

This article was a waste of my time. I regret reading it. Nothing more than bunch of rambling for the sake of bitching about how "women" are oppressed despite the fact that they've come so far. It's interesting though, isn't it. No matter how far they come, they're still "oppressed". I guess it's kind of like the war in 1984. That war could never end because it gave people the mentality they needed in order for the autocratic, fearmongering, thought-controlling government to work. No, it wasn't a feminazi government either. Though it might as well have been; they're like the same thing.
