Was Feminism Always Bad?
2015-07-11
h/t Instapundit
Most fair-minded people deplore the excesses of modern feminism--its triviality, its mean-spiritedness, and its claiming of special privileges for women on the basis of their putative suffering under patriarchy.


What happened to "equal rights"? What turned feminism into a shrill, rancorous movement that hounds men for a plethora of claimed sexual crimes, harps on female moral superiority, and seeks to rid the world of masculine energy, competitive drive, and frank humor?

Did rape crisis feminists such as Andrea Dworkin, who saw all sex as rape and presumed all men guilty, ruin what was otherwise a reasonable, egalitarian program for reform?

Or was the strain of man-blaming always there?

#1  What happened to "equal rights"?

Missed the part about "equal responsibility". In the absence of which becomes privilege, prerogative, and power.
