Thread Name: BS: Failure of Feminism?
Subject: RE: BS: Failure of Feminism?
To blame men for the so-called failure of feminism shows an undue prejudice on the part of the accuser. Some men could be anti-feminist but there are many who support such items as the Equal Rights Amendment and fair pay for equal work for women. There are many men who would relish being house-husbands and encourage their wives to work if they wanted to.
Blame is the easy way out. That belies having to look honestly at the issue. The solution is not blame but cooperation. Enemy posing whether toward men in general or specific individuals that make you mad is foolish and unhelpful.
Generalizations about women or men tend to sterotype either sex and avoid the fundamental question as to how to live in a just society for both.
