. . . .but I don't believe in Feminism, since by its very name, it suggests advancing the cause of women over those of men, when the goal should be the creation of a equality between the sexes in which both feel comfortable. . . Okay, I'll just be a bit more blunt. You have no idea what you are talking about. Feminism is no one idea. Like any lively, active social movement, it might better be thought of as a complicated, multi-vocal conversation(s), almost impossible to characterize in sentences like yours. What you have done is simply take some flamboyant item, then try to stereotype an entire movement with it. Much as feminists were termed "bra burners" at one point, in which the caricature was drawn from an event that never happened. Just helped reinforce an ugly stereotype. With the rarest exceptions, however, feminism is about what it would take to reach a world in which males and females occupy equal statuses in social life and in which the virtues often attached to the feminine and the virtues often attached to the male are seen as human rather than gendered. A bit of Feminisim 101. No charge. John
