(3,963 posts)Used to go to meetings and all. Now I'm in a different phase of my life, I suppose. There was a lot of man hate at many of the meetings I was going to, and the goal seemed more to achieve domination, rather than equality. In any case, it made me uncomfortable because I don't want domination by women. I don't want a matriarchal society simply to replace the patriarchal one! I want equality. I want a society in which a male boss does not think I'm just a brainless bimbo, but I also don't want one in which I see some employees as just male bimbos. This is what I'm fighting for right now. The usual justification I hear for hating men, is that they hate us, plus they've had it good for so long and so it's time to make them pay. I don't buy it. BTW, I'm single, but I have a few good male friends and colleagues. I think young people also see this issue in terms of equality. The MRAs is an overreaction by males to some of these issues.
