I enjoyed it, Cath. Well done.

So into the fray I jump, because I disagree with one of the premises of the article:

"who believe that men are monsters and women are powerless victims against them"
I hardly think that Patty Ireland thinks that men are mosters and women are powerless victims against them. On the contrary, I think Patty Ireland thinks men are powerless to combat the way she, and her NOW gang, can demagogue them, demonize them, shame them and guilt-trip them into empowering her and her organization.

You look at the way divorce law and abortion law is crafted in accord with their philosophies. Do you really think she is pushing for gender equity? Hell no. She is pushing for women to benefit, period. And she does this because she thinks men are powerless to stop it (and unworthy of equity themselves).

You know, I understand and agree with your point, William.

However, I think that NOW may not believe that women are powerless, but it suit their purposes to convince them that they are, in certian circumstances. If women are vulnerable, and men take advantage of them, then who swoops in to save them?

Why, the feminists, of course.
