Feminism doesnt mean that men and women should be treated exactly equally - by any interpretation.

I have already said that if the people in the nursing home were female and the nurses male - these would be outrageous crimes, which should be punished heavily.
You, sir, do not understand "feminism." But don't worry--it's one of the most misconstrued and misunderstood concepts coming out of the 20th century.

Feminists (especially the academics amongst them) would strongly argue against your double-standardism.
