you need help buddy.

The real irony is your perception of irony. Plus, I think you may misunderstand the historical context of feminism in America. I encourage you to review the history of female oppression in America and attempt to empathize with what they went through. Then tell me you cannot imagine women getting to a point of frustration where they have strong feelings of dislike toward men that led to the more aggressive feminism movement of 40 years ago. The entrenchment of misogyny in America was notably more sinister and aggressive towards women than most industrialized European countries. We did not have the same starting out point as far as equality and political support as many European countries. It took a loud voice to get the country's attention. It is inappropriate to compare a feminism movement of one country against another country because differing context and forces being negotiated with. Context aside, the man-hating feminism that you reference is for the most part in the past. Regarding the CEO being fired, you may want to consider looking more into the case before you pass judgment. There were way more insidious details of what that man did that she omitted, probably for time purposes. Some men are less willing to compromise their tradition of power and authority to anything less than their biased standards. Men like these do not deserve to represent a university of co-ed's who may represent 60% of the total student body. The main thing that irritates me about your comment is how strong of a statement you pose against her talk based on minimal information and an apparent ignorance to the variety of forms feminism takes in America today in 2011. But I think you missed that point in her talk. The feminism of today is vastly different than that of her grandmother and mother's era. You're right, it should be about equality, and that is where contemporary feminism is focused. Try reading a book...Slander on men? Seriously, the "slander" on men is laughable compared to the persisting, but dwindling, covert slander against women. As a middle-class Caucasian male, I recognize that I am in the majority, My demographic holds the most power in America, therefore, with said power I can more easily weather the minuscule "men bashing" you seem to be referring to. Sometimes speech against a current regime can seem like hate speech because you are not used to having your way of being questioned. Perhaps you are scared of losing you power? IDK. But if you are so offended about the hate speech against men, which I'm not sure where you are receiving that from, perhaps you should consider the opportunities awarded to you based on you gender.
