"Could this have all started when women were given (and took) the right to vote?"
Not exactly, right to vote aside (if you want to be really picky at one point it was only land owners who could vote), feminists needed the consent of some men to reach their goals. The men who supported the feminst soon learned that feminist (non-homsexual) women were easy. Support feminism and it will get you sex. That is real reinforcement. Femninsts thought they were demonstrating independence by have sex whenever they felt like it. history tells us they were demonstrating bad judgment. The foolish men who went along for the easy sex have also been proven to have demonstrated bad judgment. Selfish results for a selfish movement.

The fastest way to not getting laid is to open your mouth and tell your girlfriend that her opinions are stupid. Men discover this early in life, if they have any sense, and save their real opinions for when there are no women around.
I think the value of this thread, and the various other threads of the type, is that it allows the male and female members of the forum to say what they really think, without holding back
