55. I'm not happy with the blanket statement about "men"
Edited on Fri Jun-10-05 11:26 AM by Inland
followed by a description of beliefs that haven't been particularly popular among men for thirty years, and laws that haven't been in place for over a hundred years disenfranching women from owning property etc.

It makes me think you meant me, and I'm not sure why you would. Is it to make me adopt the term "feminism" as a description of myself or be consigned to the fires of the 1800s? I hesitate with "feminist" only because I am not sure what it means beyond equality and ridding the society of harmful stereotyping and enforced gender roles. On edit: and reproductive rights, since the anti-abortion ideology is revealing itself to have no principle besides control of women.
