But I agree; the best most gender feminists can do is "tepid."
Honest question - have you read any of the recent literature (scientific and otherwise) on gender identity, gender theory, feminism (comes in many waves, obviously)?
I think you see Religious Rightists under your bed. Comparing their negative influence on our society to the gender feminists is like comparing the common cold to HIV.
Would you care to point out where any meaningful content was placed with that reply? If all you're going to do is carp, you may as well save everyone the time.

Suppose you undertake to write down the equations that you see supporting your analysis. All you know is that the percentage of women participating in the workforce was increasing and that the workforce overall was expanding at a relatively constant rate. Provide your proof that women were replacing men.

Your needle seems to be on E. Might be time for a pitstop...
I hasten to add that when it comes to actual legal rights and social standing, and not some misguided persecution/revenge fantasy, I am among the most devout of feminists.
To believe otherwise would be uncivilized.
To be honest, I think we tend to agree more than we disagree.
I don't, however, see the purpose behind the thrust of your posts. I think (for the most part) you've been fairly rational in your own arguments (when you express them), but you spend most of your efforts defending some of the garbage here.

If so, who?
I'm sorry, but I don't do exegesis with true believers.

I don't quite understand why.
I agree with you. Uh, that we probably agree, that is.
To answer your query, though -- maybe (without either of us citing specific examples) it's because what you call "garbage" may actually be honest disagreement clumsily expressed by people with less formal training in rhetoric. I tend to dislike seeing people bullied.
By the way, thank you for the "fairly rational." That was fairly complimentary.
Competitive spirit. He's easily as skillful as I am, so it's a challenge.
Testosterone, where is thy sting?
