This actually would include a lot of feminists. I don't think you really know what one is. You have some kind of cartoon image in your mind.
I do. The short-haired graying Subaru driving lady wearing a fleece jacket with Sedona/Santa Fe Indian earrings sporting bumper stickers like "Keep Your Laws Off My Body," either stopped in traffic on the Montlake Bridge or in Wallingford in America's version of "the Emerald City." That's not a cartoon. It's an often-viewed human being across America. If you asked them if they were feminists, they would tell you "Yes."
Women who hate men usually do so based on some sort of bad experience with men. Childhood molestation, violence in a relationship, whatever.
I'm curious, Glasvegas, did she show any signs of hating men when you two were dating? Or was this a surprise, after marriage? I don't know how guys get themselves into these situations.

It's more or less true that this is an existing "type" (I know one, and she lives in Seattle ) . But it's only one of many. There are feminists who like to dress in a feminine way, and break the stereotypes. Many you wouldn't recognize as feminists if they bit you. Which some actually may have done, by this point in your life.

Well, feminists here keep telling you that's not what they look like.

The usual suspects in this thread, tho, did not major in women's studies. The feminists on this board comprise a gamut of majors and still find your style of argument and content to be wanting.
You want to make an argument out of you and your buddies excluding feminists as romantic partners, but again, it doesn't hold much value. Can you deal with that?
I don't want to get into it. And there are always two sides to an argument. Just because I don't like the idea of abortion of demand, I've been basically called a patriachal, misognyist, chauvinistic control freak. But I'm certainly not getting into another abortion debate again.
Bigots come in all stripes, but they all have one thing in common - they simply cannot, for the life of them, tolerant or respect other's opinions, or understand that people see things differently from them, or diverge from their own idea of 'morality.'
I see some die-hard 'liberals' as no different to fundamentalist zealots. Both are the products of the indoctrination of an agenda.

That's totally understandable, but it's unfair to let a bad experience with one or two men discolour your views on MEN as a whole. We've all met unpleasant individuals of both sexes, why not just single out bad PEOPLE, instead of putting it on ALL men or women?
Not at all. Feminazis were the most hated people any place I've ever worked, as they caused the most trouble, and they were hated in grad school, with many guys making disparaging comments under their breath about them.
Here's one for you, Mrs. Feel Good. While in grad school, I left a classroom building and headed across campus, through the Quad, to get lunch at the Union. There were a bunch of booths on the Quad. I didn't recall there was any "booth day" announced, but then I was too wrapped up in school and all the things I had on my plate.
As I'm walking along, I see a booth with a huge sign saying "Throw an Egg at Sexist Man." There were two women there, with the angry-looking boxy one more prominently visible. They had cartons of eggs and there was a human-sized effigy of a man, with a picture of Sean Connery on it. I've seen fewer sick things in my time in higher education. Do these types look in the mirror and figure out that Sean Connery wouldn't go within a mile of them, so they then need to come up with such ridiculous booths?
