My dad is just finishing her first year at university. She has had a great time except for two pretty disastrous relationships- both with men who called themselves feminists, and who talked a good talk. She trusted them much faster than she would have done if they had not sounded so politically and socially aware. And they both then treated her just as badly as an old fashioned "unreconstructed" man might. Please tell me this is not a new thing- men using being "feminist" as a way to get more notches on the bedpost? Sad

Assuming you meant DD! No I don't think it's a 'thing'. I think your daughter has had a learning curve in finding out that not everyone means what they say.
