On the other hand, I still catch hell from the old baby-boomer women in LA, Seattle and San Jose when I wear my 'US ARMY' Polo shirt.

You know--the ones with the dog-chewed-on-it haircuts who hate America; Jesus; Daddy and Apple Pie.

Has any country ever had an open rebellion of middle-aged women? It's bizarre. They're very, very angry....

Oh, yeah, I know 'em well. Feminism isn't based on anger necessarily but Women's Liberation absolutely is. That was one real cultural problem with the onset of leftism in the 70's - every political grievance was couched in terms of an oppressed class to whom the world owed something, hence the proliferation of the misnomer "liberation" and the sense that eternal class enmity was the only political force worth cultivating.

You will never, absolutely never convince someone whose entire world outlook is based on being aggrieved that he or she has it better than 99% of the other people populating the planet. Might as well not even try.

Heck, I may have dated some of those women way back when. Maybe it's my fault.
