Years ago I knew some 'separatist feminists'. Really whacked out they were too.
Would have done much better to have gone into therapy. They gave feminism a bad
name. Their idea was no men at all! Any male children would be aborted/killed.
These sort of ideas don't come from a politcl desire for equality but from a
seriously disturbed psyche.
you are right, Kerry, the extremes always give an idea a bad name. However,
there will always be those that desire to trash ideas of equality for women,
gays, the races etc.
Whatever your beliefs are, someone, somehwere wants you dead for having them.
