I assume you mean modern feminism and not the original rights movements. My ex took a class on womens studies run by the feminist alliance. I read the textbook hoping to find some interesting insights on the relationships between men and women. It was a series of paragraphs of experiments where they had tested the snarled-at possible differences between genders. EVERY SINGLE PARAGRAPH ended with the phrase: "there was no significant difference found between men and women". They were trying soooo hard to push this idea that men and women are identicle except in their no-no places. They tore apart the book
Men are from Mars Women are from Venus for this same reason. I found it interesting when they said it was trash, as after reading it I found so much insight in my relationships through its words.
They want equality, and think that in order to achieve it they must convince everyone that men and women are the same. Why do 95% of men think romance novels are trite gibberish? Why are so few women interested in becoming engineers? How do you account for the completely different balances of hormones men and women carry with them everyday? Why do men approach sex as a mostly physical act, while women see it generally on a much more emotional level?
Why do people take such offense to the implication of men and women being different?
