Mini-Rant

Today's Something Positive is a fine example of what I, as a male, cannot stand about some aspects of so-called feminism. This is not meant as communication with anyone I know personally, just a sentiment I've seen. Once again, Milholland hits the nail on the head.

Yup.

Yeah, man-hating is not the same as feminism.

True. What I was trying to say was that I've encountered a number of man-haters who call themselves feminists because of their man-hating, or they feel they have to be man-haters in order to be good feminists. I have no problem with feminism, nor do I mistake the two.
