I Support Feminism, With Some Reservations
Feminism in the pure sense is empowering women for equal opportunities. The problem is that any ideal is interpreted and acted upon by fallible persons.
I attended the University of Cincinnati in 1978. I enrolled in a course " the Psychology of Men and Women". The first class the professor announced that the course had changed its title to "The Psychology of Women" and that anyone that needed to change courses should do it immediately. Either I was slow or curious is hard to say, I stayed in the course while I witnessed close to about 100 vacating the classroom. Needless to say there was a feminism grooming and propagation of ideals to young women. The class was separated into 7 discussion groups with 1 group of only males. It was explained that statistics showed that men unfairly dominated discussion groups and couldn't be trusted to share the floor. I suggested to the professor that those people probably walked out the door the first day. It seemed useless for an all guy group to discuss how they felt as a woman in society! The text for the class would present the case of the feminist but as soon as the argument was weak, the vocabulary and grammar became unnecessarily complex. I received a B- in the class but it seemed I was docked a letter grade for being male.
