>>>>>The feminist movement (of which I was a brief part early on in New York, during the time when it had some positive and constructive goals before turning negative and destructive) has taken over the term to mean, essentially, anye male who doesn't agree with their political views. It's really their loss, because they now have no term to describe those scary people who really do hate women in the same sort of way that Nazis hate Jews, or white supremicists hate blacks. There is a need to differentiate people who disagree with you or sometimes have fun at your expense (like making jokes about feminists) from those who really do have genuine hate in their hearts and are capable of doing real harm. But by diluting the term the feminists have lost the opportunity to make that distinction<<<<<<I was associated with the feminist movement, of course, it was in the early days!" You jackass!! If you think feminism began during your lifetime, that in itself demonstrates how abysmally ignorant you are of knowing anything worthwhile about feminism.of course you left it because it was no longer "positive and constructive." You mean, you could no longer find anyone who would fuck you even if you put a paper bag over your head and duct tape over your mouth.
