I haven't had the problem with femisists that some folks seem to have had. Perhaps I've just been lucky. I have never had a mob of them beating on my door, seeking to emasculate me. I don't actually know that I've ever met a real feminist. I do know women who claim to believe in feminism, but all they usually want is equal rights and fair treatment for women. Views like that are hardly radical enough to be called feminism, so I dismiss these women as fake feminists.
I think the reason for my not being troubled by raving, man-hating viragos is perhaps that I've never bothered looking in all the possible nooks and crannies where one might find them. Which brings me to my advice on how to deal with them.

I support feminism in every possible way. Man and women should be equal in everything. Strange enough in sports they are seperated, even in chess. In most sports where you have to use your muscles man have a better build body, are faster and stronger, but there are sports where women and men are playing together. Why should sports like badminton and tabletennis seperate women and men?
In most muslimcountries woman are much less important than men, that's why I despice this religion, actually I despice any religion.
Harbottle: Don't know, gal, but I haven't come across any screaming man haters, which is surprising considering how often the issue is complained about.
Gal does it with monotonous regularity, when he wakes up

jac_the_gripper: A discussion amongst men about equal rights from women's perspective...?
I can't control the comments, but the thread is not about womens rights. The thread is about unjustified complaints about rampant, radical feminism. An attempt to draw attention to the fact that there is less of it about than some would have us believe.

I know you can't control the comments, but inequality does.
There is less of what? What exactly is 'rampant, radical feminism'?
Feminism: The radical idea that women are people, too.

The thread is not about feminism. The thread is about the people who complain about feminism, and how they try to create the perception that "extreme feminism" is pervasive in society and is an imminent threat to men. I am questioning that perception.
By extreme feminism, I mean feminism that is described as emasculation of men; a hating of men.
I repeat: this thread is about the people who complain about feminism, who are usually men, and I disagree that it is inappropriate for men to talk about men's behaviour.

Just don't go looking for them.
