That's the type of question that actually bears answering. Thank you for being polite.
I think that feminism's fight for equality did bring some good things to the attention of Western Culture.
However, those who hold the reigns of power have hijacked the movement and have begun to twist it.
Feminism in its current form is a non-sustainable ideology because it tends to be collectivist in nature.
The problem I have with it is:
Collectively...men owe women, or are evil, or misguided, or rapists, or (pick another negative connotation).
Collectively....women are victims.
These ideas have become so accepted that within our courts of law, there are blatent cases wherein women have been given lighter sentences for the same crime as a man.
Men in most cases are assumed to be the violent person in relationships, even though there is evidence that points to the contrary.
Many men may have equal custody of their children, but are still required to pay child support to the mother.
Now, once feminism becomes institutionalized it also has another side effect. Financial. The programs out there are not going to be sustainable in the near future. Our global market is struggling under the influence of bad banking decisions, government waste, and poor business practices.
Men are beginning to leave their social norms as far as earnings go. They realize in a hyper-sexualized society that they no longer need a nice house, a good career, or any preparation for family. Many also think they are not being treated fairly by the societies they live in. As a result, fewer men go to college to get get the good paying jobs.
This means decreased spending on the economic market (for big things like houses), and it also means less tax revenue to support the types of programs that NOW has been pushing for for years. It has a deleterious effect on the family, as the father is not as valued in the eyes of the law as the mother.
