There are two issues goin on in this thread:
  • The doctrine of so-called "extreme feminism".
  • How woman and men are actually treated in society.

Both subjects are hard to quantify or discuss without resorting to anecdotal evidence. There isn't a feminist handbook that every feminist on the planet zealously adheres to. Nor are there hard and fast accurate statistics on the legal happenings of men & women accused of crimes or in divorces. Every crime & divorce is different.

Thus, this is a rough topic to debate. These discussions usually come down to "well, my friend who's a feminist said _______________ " and "Look at the statistics I got from this one really biased website."

All that being said...

If you're looking for "facts" about the "evils of feminism", I recommend: International Men's Network .

Also, I'm going to jump on my own bandwagon and say that I've met feminists who are, well... horrible people. What I've never been able to wrap my head around is this question: Are they horrible people because they're feminists or are they horrible people who just happen to be feminists? There's really no way to tell, but I lean towards the second option.
