Feminism: It Wasn't Supposed To Be This Way

In the commentary in the National Post, Donna Laframboise echoes the recent comments by Doris Lessing, that feminists need to lay off men and boys. It's not what feminism was supposed to be about, she says. She also says that because men are either too afraid to speak out, or are too extremist to be taken seriously, women need to speak for them. On this, I disagree. Certainly, women should speak out for men if they feel so inclined, but not in place of men speaking out for ourselves.
