| I'll give credence to the fact that many of the feminists I've encountered in my life have been slightly hypocritical. For example, on reading a story about a woman who left her husband with one child, had an affair, tried to come back, was refused, and then killed herself, a friend of mine exclaimed, "Yeah! You go babe!."
I then went and retyped an almost identical story, replacing she with he. Her reaction was of course, "Men are pigs."
But these people are the minority. The only reason we hear so much about extreme feminism is it's those feminists that do the newsworthy. The not-so-extreme feminist who simply rejects anything less than what she actually deserves is one of the wisest types of people I've ever come across. |
