When Michael Crichton wrote Disclosure, feminists were automatically up in arms, till they figured out that it was a case of sexual harassment, no doubt, but the other way round (and Michael pointed out quite rightly that is is so easy to criticize a book, especially when you have not read it). When does the passion for the cause overtake objectivity of the cause?
We have women trying to be equal to men by doing everything a man does, flying through war-zones and decapitating enemies, playing against men in sports, belching, the works. I don't know if these are accomplishments worth accomplishing.
Equality might have been a better cause being a social ideal, rather than a physical/mental/psychological one. Women can't be men, simply because they are made differently. I know of no man who could beat a mother at mothering a child or raising a good son, the toughest current challenge of humanity. But women seem to be interested in more exciting battlefields. It might always be better for a feminist to be a realist.
This information is some of the best I have found on this topic for me, I really appreciate this point of view and I've found it to be more reliable then some, I will be recommending it to others.
