Question

In terms of the femmenist movement-are they now at the point where oliver wendell holmes famous quote would have meaning .

"The right to shake your fist in front of my face stops before the tip of my nose"

The reason is rightly or wrongly most men percieve misandry out there. Most of us men are at the point where we have a degree of suspcion towards femmensit causes . Its a shame realy i used to trust femmenism and now i dont . I still dontate my loose pocket change to breast cancer fundraisers and so on and so forth .But i am reluctant take any statement by a femmenist organzitation without cross checking the facts .

Answer 1

You might still donate your loose change to breast cancer fundraisers (although what this has to do with feminism, I don't know - all women whether feminists or not can get breast cancer, and men can, too), but men still, as a group, earn more than women, and yet still, in general, do less household work and childcare. We may have the vote, but we aren't equal yet.

But it is a good idea not to trust any organisation of any kind without checking the facts for yourself.

I think it was Virginia Woolf who said something along the lines of "People call me a feminist when I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat"

Answer 2

Yes, they already got equal rights, through suffrage, etc. I think what you are referring to are some of the crazy neo-n@zi women's libbers, you know the ones who get all huffy if I, as a man, open a door for them as a courteous gesture. But no one really takes them seriously anyway, so I wouldn't worry too much.
