      As a man in a real relationship, I'm going to set you straight on a few things.

      1) Saying "feminazis" makes you an eejit right off.

      2) You should actually read a history of feminism. 98% of what feminists have fought for are things you, as somebody interested in pure equality before the law, would have fought alongside them for.

      3) Third Wave feminists already fought this battle with Second Wave feminists, and in a far more effective and informed way, than you. Twenty years ago. By the way: the good guys won.

      4) You're totally wrong on the "men as second class citizens" thing. That's taken from the so-called "men's rights movement," which is just a bunch of guys who got slammed for not paying child support and are butthurt.

      5) On the draft you are so wrong that I can honestly say I haven't ever heard a feminist maintain the draft should not be gender-blind. This is probably a terrible idea, and I haven't pre-read it, but in my quest to find any statement either way from a reasonable feminist group I found the exact opposite: a reddit thread. So here it is, in all its glory. I notice right near the front somebody from your part of Fearless-fighters-against-misandry Loonyland chimes in, so for all I know you may be rereading your own work. But I assume somebody somewhere talks about what I have always found: feminists support treating men and women equally, period: http://www.reddit.com/r/PoliticalDis...ld_be_drafted/

        This is what I like about you Kepler, when you get the nail so squarely on the head.

              I'm with you on that. Just today someone posted on Facebook a recent quote from Ruth Bader Ginsburg that I hadn't seen before, "People ask me sometimes, when — when do you think it will it be enough? When will there be enough women on the court? And my answer is when there are nine."

              Sounds bizarre, right? And that's the point. For 194 years (1787-1981) the Supreme Court was 100% men, and for the vast majority of that time, the vast majority of people never gave it a second thought. Women won't have truly "arrived" until someone can casually mention the possibility of an all-women Supreme Court and the response is, "Yeah, so?"

                We're kinda, sorta there on religion. There are zero Protestants on the Court. When I first read that I think I did a dodeca-take.

                  One of the ways in which advocacy groups for oppressed people are constantly slandered is when people from the formerly oppressing group scream that they want to "turn the tables," when in reality all they want is for the characteristic to no longer matter.

                    They want it to no longer matter by making it matter... Is it just me, or does that not make any logical sense whatsoever?

                      I don't get what you're saying.

                      Seems like the principle is straightforward: if you hate these groups so much, stop discriminating and they'll go away. You can't continue to treat people unequally and then when they point that out say, "See? Always with the complaining!"

                        It was mentioned a ways back that Ginsburg wouldn't be happy until every justice was a woman. That sounds like a sexist to me, and if she's trying to garner equality through sexism, that's like dividing wealth in order to multiply it. There's no logical sense.
