point of the matter is, men and women are completely different and therefore cannot be equal in every sense. Sure there should be equal opportunity and stuff but the radical feminists can really pis me off

It is annoying beyond belief. I consider myself fully modern, and I would never allow a man to treat me in anything but a totally respectable way. But I also recognize that men are stronger and tend to use logic more that intuition, (making them better at math and science)

Women, by contrast, are better at sensing and feeling.

It is my feeling that men should launch a menism movement to reclaim their rightful place as head of the family. There are many women, myself included, who would welcome this.

I agree with you that there are inherent differences in men and women. However I don't find "radical" feminists anymore than I do the men that still think they can and should be in control of a relationship just because they are male. Unfortunately many of the old stereotypes, especially surrounding money, who is the breadwinner of the family, etc, are still held my many people.

I find feminists who hate men disturbing. It's ok to believe women are equal, but that doesn't mean we should completely discount men.
There are many men out there however, that still believe women shouldn't be afforded the same opportunities as men. Those men, however, seem to be in a minority.

I dislike any form of activism (in the rallying, sove-it-in-your-face kind of way). Radical female chauvinisim does bug me.

I have a lot of respect for women, in fact, I usually treat women better than men. But that doesn't mean that I think they're "weaker". If we're talking physically, female bodies are apparently designed to handle different stresses than male bodies. Maybe they won't beat men when it comes to heavy lifting, but men can't beat them when it comes to the things that only women can do (childbirth for one).

But I really hate it when a female chauvinist misinterprets this kind of thing and starts shoving her "male sexist pig" b.s. in your face. Opening a door for a woman doesn't mean you think she's weak, it merely means that you want to be polite. If someone, male or female, was coming in right after me, I'd hold the door open as a sign of courteousy.

Still, I can't really blame them. Cultures that were primarily male-dominant for millenia will not flex so easily. Change will happen, but very slowly. Until then, maybe we should just grin and bear the chauvinism (male or female)...

Unless you are the kind to shove back when shoved...

Anyone or group that seeks more power for themselves by taking it from others instead of finding it within are thieves. Trying to manipulate the rest of us that it is justified is delusional. I would agree with the low self esteem aspect. It seems as they give their own power away they need to steal it from others instead of fixing their own personal problems. It is also a really good and seemingly socially acceptable way of projecting the source of those problems on an external target and after that it is just a never ending cycle of chasing their own tails and whining when they catch it and whining when they don't. I simply would prefer if they chase their tails somewhere else.

Let me count the ways.....
Trying to speak carefully and accurately about something as complicated as the ways in which men and women are similar and different is a bit like playing 3-dimensional chess. There are no simple moves.
One annoying thing about feminism is the way it defines power terms of the areas of intrinsic male advantage, but omits the areas of intrinsic female advantage. Men, being less risk-averse and more prone to innovate (to commit violence on the status quo) have advantages in public, worldly occupations. (This is only to say that more men are more likely to be more risk taking and innovative, but there are some women who do as well or better than most men.) Women have advantages in private, in emotional manipulation, etc.; they can live in their emotions comfortably, because they don't have the testosterone that makes men's emotions kick men's asses. (These advantages are subject to the same qualifications above.) Women use men's emotional fragility against them, but that doesn't get plugged into the equality-of-power equations. So feminism's goal doesn't amount to equality; it means taking half of men's power and holding on to all of their own.
Feminists have been "articulating the feminine voice" for so long that they can't see themselves as they are (only as they want to see themselves), and are CLUELESS about men.
Feminism blames competitiveness on men, but patriarchial notions of striving are against oneself or against the status quo. Feminists claim women define themselves "relationally", but relationalized striving is competitiveness. And women tend to be a lot more competitive in the workplace than men, though men do striving of their own sort.
We always hear how rape is underreported, but never about how many false charges are filed. Research shows that about 40-60% of rape charges are false. Contradiction? No. There are women who are raped and don't report, women who are raped and do report, but there are other women who don't get raped and report anyway. We never hear about the last group.
For an ideology that considers itself progressive, feminism is pretty much a fraud. It does a lot of harm to women, and many of them know it.

Define radical feminism ? What does it mean for you ?

Well, some guys called me a radical feminist and some feminist women called me "little women". So yes I'm annoyed at times...

It is kind of hypocritical sometimes. They'll be all "We should be allowed to do this, we should be allowed to do that" but when a boat is sinking or a building is on fire NO DOUBT they'll use the excuse of women and children first.
Shoving your views into someone else's face is just plain rude, like Jehova's Witnesses doorknocking to get you to join their church or even telemarketers trying to force you into buying something. Having a raving feminist tell me that I'm wearing male shackles on my boobs is insulting and frankly stupid. I don't want saggy boobs, I also don't like feeling hair under my arms or on my legs, I like wearing makeup cause I'm goth and I enjoy having long hair. I'm all for equal rights and all, but they should let people decide for themselves whether they do something like shave their head or not.

I do. I think that men and women should have equal treatment, but it almost seems as if women rule the world now. I mean, people seem to consider women superior now, but isn't that defeating the purpose?

Fundamentalist faith is a detrimental threat. basically the guideline of regulation of usa's secular government prevents the Fundies that stay there from behaving purely like their radical Islamic cousins.
