My point was something I've seen you & your peers do all too frequently when faced with opposing views. The unverifiable "Mostly I find", "People I know", "Most people", etc. Then there's the "it must be a fringe element, a conspiracy, when you don't have facts or reality on your side. RE: feminism..... Personally, I'm for equal rights for everyone. And my view of everyone does not exclude anyone. No if's, no and's, no but's. Unfortunately, feminism, affirmative action & all that BS ended up being about so much more than what it should have been. It went beyond demanding equal rights & demanded unequal & unfair treatment for those protected under affirmative action & women (feminist organizations) at the expense of everyone else. I don't care how anyone justifies it. Demanding & receiving unfair treatment is discrimination PERIOD. And some groups, like NOW have become almost militant in their politics, their policies & actions over the years. Its one- sided representation of femininity has damaged the role of women just as much as it has helped.
