The question needs to be asked who really benefits from supporting the women's movement.
I think if you were to ask most men, it is we who doe so. Feminists have taken away most of what the majority of women who were satisfied with the way life was, are now faced with having to deal in a way they never had to before.

Men are relieved of many of the expectations that use to be regarded as an obligation on their part being considered the stronger of the sexes. Ask most women if they are satisfied how much the movement made their lives more unbearable, and you could write a book on the answers.

Unfortunately we are all victims of minority groups who ban together to decide what is right for the rest of us. Reason being they win is because the majority of people just never stick together to present their point of views.

We've seen where just one individual can change what is allowed to be celebrated or what statues can be placed on public grounds. To me, it doesn't matter that some women want to be less dependent on men, or want to be equal in ways that they were not designed for.

But to drag the rest of the female population down the tubes with them wasn't what I would say justified. How many women would still like to have men open doors, pay for a date, treat them special instead of like one of the guys or just about anything women can remember about the good ol days of what it meant being a woman.

I really feel bad for those sweet innocent ladies who enjoyed what God gave them in a way that separates them from men. Like I say, it's no problem for most men. Just ask them and they will tell you life is great.

Women approach men for a date, they offer to pay in many cases, they don't expect to be treated like they are something extra special, they don't want to make men feel obligated in some ways, and the list goes on for why it's so much better for men as a result of the feminists who spoke out for the rest of the women who would have rather left things as they were.

True there were some drawbacks back then, but the benefits women had far outweigh what they have now. Let's hope some mindless males don't decide to do the same for the rest of the male population, whatever it may be.
