Why should victims of the excesses of feminism wait?

For example, male victims of domestic violence, they do exist,

New economic roles have brought women greater
equality with men and also many fresh opportunities,
particularly the chance to experience careers and
achievement in the world beyond the home. However, many
women are finding that the rigors of pursuing
their careers, maintaining intimate relationships,
and raising children, are not easy to balance.

Also, as we've seen from this thread - the
changes in women's roles have also had an immense impact
on the family. Generations of children are now being
raised by working mothers, who leave them in some
form of day care from an early age - something that once
was unprecedented on this scale in our society.

For their part, men have generally reacted positively to the
growing equality of women. In fact, their own roles,
have become complimentary to those of women in many cases.
Like the feminine role, the masculine role is now more
ambiguous, more flexible, more subject to interpretation by
the individual. Resolving this kind of ambiguity is part of
the challenge of social and cultural change in our modern
society today.

Equality does not necessarily mean gender similarity or a
"unisex" society. It does not necessarily mean that women
are adopting the characteristics of men.
The pattern today seems to be
one in which many alternative lifestyles and roles are
acceptable for both men and women. Our modern society
today is highly individualistic and both men
and women are today, exploring a wide variety of possible roles.
Ones that suit themselves and their families.

As I've stated in the past -

True liberation from the restrictions of gender means that
all possible options are open and equally acceptable for both
sexes. That a person;s individual human qualities rather
than his or her biological sex is the primary measure of that
person's worth and achievement.

The postfeminist generation of women
today take the benefits of women's liberation for
granted, however, they are dubious about being the
"perfect wife" mother, and executive. They expect to be a part of
a team - in their marriages - in the full sense of that word.

Foxy, I wonder if you thought about the wording in "Generations of children are now being raised by working mothers"

I'll make a point of it because its an example of the way the stereotypes keep being reinforced (often unintentionally).

I know its not universal however men play a large hands on role in the raising of children in most of the intact and blended families I know first hand. That was a part of my growing up experience as well but maybe the dynamics of rural life made that different to people of my generation being raised in urban areas.

I know some people of both genders who don't in my view take the responsibilities of parenting seriously, rather parenting at their convenience but they seem to be in the minority.

Lots of words, but will you be taking the pledge on WRD? You would want to 'break the silence' on women's violence against other women, children and men, wouldn't you?

Dear RObert,

It's a common problem when typing on a forum such as this.
Phrasing is so important - and sometimes gives the wrong
impression.
However, I think you know my personal feelings about stereotyping,
and labelling of people,
and the acknowledgement of the important role both genders
play in so many issues. As hopefulloy my previous and past posts have clearly indicated.
