Is Feminism an ill?

Lawyers, Gun, and Money had a great post yesterday about Feminism and about the myth that feminists are bunch of bitter women who hate men.

1. I am not a feminist and yet, I have trouble with people who believe that Feminism is as grave an ill to modern society as terrorism or racism.
2. Feminism to me is complex and is something with which I am not able to identify not because I believe that it is too extreme, but because I have trouble relating to feminism.
3. Anyway, after reading a couple of books who argued that Feminism is an ill for society because it is making whimps or monsters out of men, I am asking my self whether maybe the problem with Feminism is that it hasn't evolved enough since the sixty and since the "glory days" during which it had thinkers such as Simone de Beauvoir.
4. Maybe the reason why Feminism gets a bad rapt is because it lacks convincing and charistmatic thinkers to adapt its ideas to our time and to make the point that there are still differences among the sexes.

Feminism is ok as long as it does not turn into affirmative action. Women are right to affirm their identity but it is also true that many feminists identify themselves with men as antagonists.

Ohh and Kiki, I am enjoying your work; keep it up!
