The feminst's radicalism has nothing to do with puritanicalism, it's anger over the percieved subjugation of women at the hands of men over the centuries. While in some cases, like in the Muslim world, their anger is justified, there have been examples of matriarchies who persecuted the males of their societies, but not on an equal scale.

Feminists would outlaw beauty pageants not because of prudishness, but because in their eyes it is the continuation of women's objectification at the hands of slobbering males who only see value in their sexuality.

Clearly our views are different on this, and I don't want to argue over it. IMO we're just sharing opinions =)

Engaging in polemics isn't the sharing of anything--it is argumentation. It is what a good conversation is about. There is no need for the obsequious smiley.
