When you first started posting, you lumped all American women into the feminist group.

Go back and reread some of your posts:

471, 475, 480, 488, 511, 527, 530

You come off as hating all American women. Later on, you change it to feminist, but I think you lump all American women into this group.

I think feminism went to far, but there were good things to come out of it. There were also very bad things that came out of it.

The good things is that women started going to college and had a choice to work or not work, have kids/not have kids, and it was all okay. Also, women started getting more equivalent pay when they did work.

The bad things that have come out of feminism are the men bashing and all men are evil. The thought that it is okay for a single mom to raise a child without the dad involved. Even to the extent that hey if you're not married just go to a sperm bank and get pregnant.

The other bad thing about modern feminism is that it bashes stay at home moms.

Most of the negative remarks about men were only about men who mail order their brides from third world countries. Most of the women in this discussion think that is an awful practice and degrades women. It reduces women to a piece of meat to be bought and sold.

Inaccurate as a reconstruction of the events, but understandable. One of my first posts to a prior poster did indeed speak of modern American women. But did so in reply to the statement that if modern American women looked abroad for husbands, there would be an outcry. I denied there would be such an outcry, and there wouldn't. The person I was responding to spoke as though American women were so important we'd all be heartbroken if they sent their affections elsewhere. That sentiment is all I was denying. It was a defense of American men looking for non-feminist women wherever they please.
