All this gender bashing has put me off my tea.

Similarly, some folks believe that civil rights activists against segregation were bitter, twisted people who have a deep-seated dislike, distrust or hatred of white people.

Of course both generalizations, like all generalizations, are pure nonsense. There are bitter twisted people in every group in this world, using them as a pretext to marginalize feminism is flawed reasoning.

Your link between the treatment of black people - and the obstacles that they had to face - in the USA before the 1970s, and the treatment of women in the 2010s, seems not only unnecessary, but extremely crass and flippant.
I strongly object to generalisations, too.
But seeing as feminists are akin to racial supremacists ...

Without this movement do you think domestic violence shelters for women and their children would exist?

Or that court systems would demand that men support the children they father?

Or that women would be able to earn a livable wage to help support their families?

In a perfect world there wouldn't be any need for the feminist movement. But we don't live in a perfect world and such needs do need to be addressed.

Mmm, is that so?

Perhaps the disconnect is due to the fact that you apparently believe that African American's struggle for equality somehow magically ended 'before the 1970s' hence your inability to appreciate the parallels between the two ongoing struggles.

Whichever way we look at it I a very suspicious about drawing parallels between the black movement and feminism. simply because one is ten times older than the other.

Hey, it's your analogy. I just pointed it out.

Yes, it does.
If men spent more time trying to control their own gender and what it is doing to the world and less time trying to control what women do, which in the big scheme of things isn't much, the world would be a better more peaceful productive place.

By any chance would you be Jewish? Because typically it's the Jews who think this way. You see, it's really these Jewish woman who hate men, and they go around pretending like their normal like you and I and then disguise themselves within message boards like this one and their whole entire agenda is to brainwash, and further their goal of serving their god, the god who loves all people, including the homosexuals, the bi-sexuals, the child sex addicts, everyone, all people everywhere, no matter who they are, this is the god whom they worship......
Why do these Jewish woman do this? Well it's very simple, since the Jews would not obey God over and over again, without end, and actually became worse then all the other people, sinning and getting people to sin, and then when God sent his Christ and they rejected him and killed him, God then turned them over to Satan, to be his people.
These Jewish women who love Feminism, and have worked their ways into the minds of everyone that they can, through their books, through their articles, and even their message boards, and turned people away from the logical truth, and perverted their minds to believe a lie, with the same motif as needing a Department of Homeland Security because some guys with sandals on pose a threat to the most powerful country the world has ever seen by a thousand times.....
These people know what they're doing, and they know it's wrong, they do it because they love to do it, they love to pervert the Gentiles and their minds, and their god gives them the rewards they want so badly.....
