In reply to the discussion: Fighting feminism: let’s get practical [View all]boston bean
(36,218 posts)4. This here backs up your point...
Despite their claims, feminists havent fought for the transfers of economic and political power from men to women which have taken place over the past 30+ years. Theyve manipulated a small number of powerful and influential male collaborators (white knights, sycophants, call them what you will) into handing over power, or enabling that handover, through tactics which are ultimately rooted in shaming men. I doubt if these collaborators represent more than 1% of men. Theyre found in all walks of life politics, state agencies, journalism, business, medicine, law and education.
