HB remind me of a hardcore feminist in Holland who has just something against men.
Several times I was blamed by such women that I was guilty of everything men did to women in history.
I really got to dislike those males-female, lack of humor,
left radical type of ladies, but in a democrtatic and free society have to deal with them.
There are a lot of them in the media, politics, culture,
artworld and even in my network of friends in at my work. But I am armed with knowledge of the women rights movement, feminist history and women struggle.
It was necassery in the 20th century, but went to far in some places and did damage to relations, families
and the male-female relationship.
A friend of mine was damaged in his youth by the fact that his mother was a radical socialist-feminist, he later
had difficulties with relationships, because he had a bad "selfimage" due to the radical environment his mother lived in in the seventees (male and boy hostile).
But I stil support womens rights struggle in the world (like the Amnesty action right now), and the emancipation of women. Free, independant, intelligent
and develloped women with selfasteem are more interesting for me than traditional women who are henpecked by their men like in so many cultures, religious communities.
I like the moderate and practical "feminism" of some politicians (Condoliza Rice, Madelein Allbright, Hilary
Clinton, Martha Nussbaum and etc.).
How big is the influence of organistations as the NOW
