  Is Feminism Dead? An Overview of Post-Feminism

  I happen to be anti-feminist.
  
  Feminism has only promoted women to effectively fight men in their own spheres that have been theirs since time immemorial. Western men and women are aligning against each other in a way that has not ever occured in known history.
  There are some total absurdities. Women are more inclined towards the arts - and so as might be expected there are more women VOLUNTARILY applying for teaching/arts/writing and other creative spheres. Well and good. But wait - gender difference... and it will never end. If there are, say, 15000 applications to an engineering degree and 12000 are male (quite realistic) and we suddenly need to get 50-50 then this means PERMANENTLY discriminating against men. And they HATE it. One of my previous boyfriends (who I now miss bitterly) very much changed my tune on this subject. In fact, it is quite seemly to raise children in a natural, womanly capacity while an honourable husband works hard to supply the family's fundamental needs. Having a weak or badly raised/conflicted family reflects as badly on the husband as the wife. He was the greatest man I have ever known and left me at the moment we hit the feminism topic. A very, very sad and deeply regrettible moment for me.
