I do think the term sounds a bit ridiculous.  Certainly the achievements of 'feminists' in altering the legal status of women from non-voting near-slaves just 80 or so  years ago to something approximating the status of males is a positive for women.  Of course I think the purritanical anti-porn and anti-prostitution stance is intrusive and anti-freedom.

Lots of men hate women, and lots of women hate men - in fact I wouldn't be suprised if it were the majority.  Given the social dynamic between the two genders any other state of affairs would seem unlikely.  But feminists hardly have a monopoly on that.

Do you agree that "male chauvinist pig" is also a demeaning and spiteful term also?

I think it is a much more reasonable term than one that includes 'nazi'.  Besides, the great majority of males are chauvanists.

Your pandering is pathetic, particularly since admittedly your only contact with women is to pay them for sex.

Not pandering.. recognizing an obvious fact.  Open your eyes and look around you dazzleman.  There are far, far more 'chauvanists' (and it is a milder term) than there are 'feminazis'.

As for paying women for sex, I see nothing chauvanist about that.  I pay the restauranteur for my meal.. does that mean I think he is inferior to me?

Feminazis have more political clout than male chavinists.  There's no powerful national organization run by and for the benefit of male chauvinists.

That is silly.  Most Right-wing organizations - certainly the GOP - are run for and by white males.  I agree not all are chauvanists, but they will generally defend their constituency, including chauvanists.

Yes, I agree the term feminazi is more extreme than the term chauvanist, as I said in my post above.  And I also agree that the feminists are a big threat to sexual freedoms - however they are considerably less of a threat than the Christians.

No, the word feminazi, as introduced by Rush Limbaugh, is not used for feminists in general, but rather those who want as much abortion as possible.

There can never be any more abortion than the demand for abortion.  I guess that is what you mean by 'as possible'.

Opebo doesn't want to reduce the number of abortions.

True, I am quite indifferent to the number of abortions.

And angus, the reason there is no 'masculinist' movement to speak of is that the cultural norm is masculinism.  Thats why so many of these lads on here still expect to pay for dinner dates, open doors, and so forth, even in 2005.
