Nobody asked me, but I think it's pretty sharp. On the one hand, I think that women who choose to compete with men on equal terms should have the opportunity.

One the other hand, I think it's disruptive of a societal consensus that the most valuable role for men is "father," and the most valuable role from women is "mother."

On the third hand ... well maybe I haven't quite sorted out my principles to the point of consistency!

An excellent assessment in my opinion. What is defined as feminism has done far more harm than good. I should stress that I mean modern anti-male gender feminists like the Steinems and Friedans not the equity feminists like the early suffragettes and the modern-day ones. The problem is that many if not most college-educated women are being brainwashed by some of the most insane gender feminist ideology. The daughters from upper-middle class and even wealthy families are more than eager to believe the argument that they are an oppressed class despite growing up in relative luxury. My fiancee's recent grad daughter is a case in point. It doesn't take long for her to talk to realize that she has a very low regard for males. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is her hero. No man is good enough for her. But she is not a bad person, in fact she is a very nice person overall. But a liberal college "education" has warped her sense of reality. She'll find out quick that the feminist paradigm of "all women good and all men bad" is a crock.
