I agree with you. Hence my comment that there's legitimate confusion as to what feminism really is. I don't think it's dead. I think it's legitimately well-directed when it comes to issues like female mutilation in other countries and within issues like how we address domestic violence here. And I'm not even saying some of the issues they bring up isn't worth addressing. But some of it isn't feminism. It's about propelling women beyond men which is a whole different thing than empowerment.
Like I said, I can't help that they don't get that. As I said earlier, I liken it to the confusion over what we can define as civil rights and what is legitimately racial issues today.

I wasn't arguing, just clarifying my "real feminism is dead" comment.
I certainly didn't mean in other countries. Domestic violence is very tricky for the radical feminists today, because they want extra protection which sort of undermines a lot of their ideals. If Janay Rice is a free, strong, empowered female then she can leave at any time. If you say she's caught in some kind of twisted psychological submission but you don't apply that standard to male abuse victims, it implies women are weaker-minded.
I think the problem is that men and women are very different. Everyone knows that. It's obvious and it's science. And that pisses them off. I really don't know. They're crazy.
