“My wife got a degree in sociology and practically minored in women’s studies, and if there’s anything I’ve noticed about her coursework, it’s that feminists will take anything and bend and flex it until it acts in direct opposition to their world view. Not all feminists on every issue, mind you, but there will inevitably be someone who tries to make a name for herself (himself) as a way to rile up support for “the cause.” And it always riles up support because feminism is a movement that is literally founded on being unhappy about everything. As the equality gap is closed, there are more and more straws to grasp at if you want to stay pissed off.”

“The Sixth Slave” (via Alexander Ryking)

Good, some men have finally come forward to put feminism into the proper perspective.  We ought to be paying more attention to what Ryking, AZspot, and this guy, a truly insightful commenter, think.  We really do go too far by demanding not to be raped, not to be told it’s our responsibility and our fault, not to be held up to shopped beauty ideals, to have proper access to birth control and abortion, and to be regarded as equals at work and at home.

LOL at beginning a statement with “My wife…practically minored in women’s studies” and then proceeding to dictate the thoughts and experiences of women.  Sounds more like a few men grasping at straws to desperately hang on to the remnants of patriarchy.
