Gela's reply was an attempt to explain the opposition's stance from a male perspective:


Quote:
I need gender roles, because without them, I don't have an idenity.
Feminism came along, and made my place in society redundant.
Women no longer need me to protect them, or financialy support them.
Because of this, I hate feminism. I want gender roles back, so I am in unquesionably in control.
I might not be capable of earning a womans respect through normal means, so I need them to be under my control.
Equality isn't good enough, I need superiority.

I imagine that positon is held because some men only believe in win/lose situations? It is beyond their comprehension that feminism can be a win/win proposition.

The female's stance is down right scary!
Feminism is Evil!


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
