From 'A feminist Dictionary; ed. Kramarae and Triechler, Pandora Press, 1985:
MALE:...represents a variant of or deviation from the category of female. The first males were mutants...the male sex represents a degeneration and deformity of the female.
MAN:...an obsolete life form... an ordinary creature who needs to be watched...a contradictory baby-man...
TESTOSTERONE POISONING: ... 'Until now it has been though that the level of testosterone in men is normal simply because they have it. But if you consider how abnormal their behavior is, then you are led to the hypothesis that almost all men are suffering from "testosterone poisoning."
It seems to me that everybody who is interested in gender issues tends to view all this as a men VS women thing. Feminists are just one brand of such people, as vicious as their male counterparts.
Not really. It's much more of a woman vs. patriarchal society mentality. I'm not anti-man at all...I love men. I am anti-sexism though...and if a man thinks it's oh so cute to walk around making jokes about making him sandwiches, I tell him to take his "humor" somewhere else because I'm not appreciating it.

Feminists promote a men = women mentality.
~the dictionary~

A few do; the vast majority do not.
Most feminists (of both sexes) have no quarrel with all members of the opposite sex.
Feminism isn't about men vs women, it's about HUMANS vs SEXISTS.
No, they impose women mentality on men. But not the kind of mentality of good, well bred intelligent women, rather, that of a sex worker*.
* Political corrected term for hooker, by retarders.
Well duh!
The thing femies can't stand is for a man and women to be happily married with happy children!
It goes against their sick little ideology and they want to mess it up so they can feel important.
Obviously.. Just look at what they and their movement are doing in real life.
Not really. It's much more of a woman vs. patriarchal society mentality. I'm not anti-man at all...I love men. I am anti-sexism though...and if a man thinks it's oh so cute to walk around making jokes about making him sandwiches, I tell him to take his "humor" somewhere else because I'm not appreciating it.
Yes, because they don't have anything better to do.
They shouldn't, I try not to.
