Ah. I see.
The point I was amking though is that feminism as described in whichever post, is not the meaning it has taken on. People who call themselves feminists are generally derogatory in their attitude towards men, saying that we are useful only for reproduction.

As a male, I take a rather dim view of this.

And my anticipated apologies to all those people who consider themselves feminist in the sense of the meaning given in that link up a few posts.

I wouldn't call that the meaning it's taken on. I would call that the meaning certain reactionary elements in society have attempted to give it. I encourage you not to cooperate with them. They mean you no good.

There are certainly stripes of academic feminism that are definitely anti-male. And all 157 of the women on the planet who actually ascribe to them could reasonably be called misandrists.

Clearly you don't know very many feminists of any stripe. :roll:

Apology accepted.

It is because I seek equality that I don't call myself a feminist.
