ORIGINAL: respectmen Peon, feel free to cite me any example where feminists actually show empathy towards men. I can only cite you many, many personal experiences, RM. Feminists who've understood that a patriarchial society does not recognise that men have feelings too - towards their children, towards not wanting to have lives filled full of aggression, towards not actually wanting to go off and getting slaughtered in wars. Feminists I've known have not found it difficult to understand that males have been restricted in their lives just as women have been restricted in theirs. Why do examples like this so completely pass you by? It's pretty simple morals, and no great shift in intellectual awareness. A woman thinks to herself, 'Hey, I can do more than just bring up my kids'. She then looks at her husband and thinks, 'He can do more than just earn money for his family, and have no connection with his kids or, worse, no feelings for people in the world other than whether he's 'winning' or 'losing' in some stupid, contrived competition against them. The women I've known who've fought the most ferociously for male friends of mine to stay in touch with their kids - against the mothers' wishes - have been feminists. Likewise the women I knew, back a few decades and on the continent, who'd fight hardest against national service. Even if feminists *are* selfish - why would they have done otherwise? They didn't want to see their menfolk living in some cold, shitty world. They didn't want them to have no contact with their kids - or, indeed, their feelings in general. They most certainly didn't support the burgeoning rates of suicide amongst men - and, above all else, they didn't want to see their menfolk going off to get killed in some war. I've certainly come across lazy-arsed, selfish and basically nasty women in my time. Many of them. But these generally have *not* been feminists. They've more likely to have been the right wing, anti-feminist sort, who've maintained that, for instance, that it's 'just natural' for men to want to fight, never to be interested in their kids, never wanted to do anything other than compete, compete. *Those* sorts of women, for me, don't understand men and don't, basically, see them as entirely human. They see their ideal man as a kind of machine - a super-tough, emotionless android. You really have *no sodding idea* where I'm coming from in this, RM. 'Gynocentric'. It's pathetic.
