pelican, "Aren't most feminists Third Wave? The days of the radical man-haters are long gone."

Your question has already been indirectly answered by another, so that didn't take long.

In answer to your question no I don't think so, although usually those responsible seem to be Boomer feminists or of that approximate vintage. Old habits must die hard, or will the worthless baggage of previous generations be carried to the grave?

Anyway, the feminist joke that was responded to is supposed to be on Jesus, who fortunately was forgiving.

The very radical feminists (using Warwick's analogy) don't exist in the same way other radicals might use violence to fight a cause as Severin pointed out.

I interpret Warwick's radical feminist approach to mean women who actually hate men and want ill to befall them, including degrading the role of fatherhood and masculinity (however that may be defined) as implied in the article.

What is boomer feminist baggage? Most people take some sort of baggage to the grave, hopefully with the edges smoothed out through the natural mellowing and wisdom of maturity.

Bitterness and misogyny are counter-productive, it would be better if some of those who continually degrade women and feminism, actually worked with various groups to ensure fairer outcomes for all - most importantly children. I don't see feminists denying the rights of fathers to share in the raising of their children in the case of family breakdown.

The only concerns ever raised are those of abuse. This is not a feminist issue it is a human rights issue.

Where are all these radical feminists decrying fatherhood? Most feminists male and female alike, are looking for a fairer society that takes into considerations choices for both males and females. Work-life balance, fair pay for a fair day's work, child care and health and wellbeing are universally male and female issues.

Just a quick alteration - I meant to say misogyny and misandry in the post above.

Lookie here
The human race is basically cruel, animalistic, greedy and fecund.
It is out of control and must be culled. Unfortunately wars are not big enough. We need a good flu thing to halve the population and give the poor old earth a break.

So lets start a Mens Lib movement and form activist partnerships with the Feminists.

Hey Jay - Yes!!

What a bloke!

What ideas do you have?

There is this information and research site too. Is that the sort of thing you had in mind or do you think it could be useful?
