So I'm curious: in what ways do you think feminism has swung too far and started working to the detriment of men?[/QUOTE]
The root of feminism was that there was a huge imbalance between the male and female roles in humanity. Women wanted equality... the same freedoms of men, such as the right to vote, the right to choose any profession she desired, to be considered an equal in intelligence, etc. In the last several thousand years, the balance has been way off; it has been completely dominated by masculine energy. Men took all of the power and created the illusion that women were weaker in all ways, physical, mental, spiritual. That illusion held strong in both men's and women's mindset/paradigm for these thousands of years. Things started shifting in a big way in America when women were called to action during WWII when they had to replace the male workers since they were off to war. The country was able to continue working to support the whole war effort and women did a hell of a job. I think that this changed the minds of many women that saw for the first time that they were capable of doing things that were never open or even allowed of them to even try. The men came home after WWII to a different mindset of women in a big way. Even before this, women were becoming uncomfortable with the closed off lives they were forced to live. It was uncomfortable and unbalanced. The feminist movement was absolutely necessary to gain some of this balance back!! Unfortunately a SMALL (small people!!!) group of these women went to the far other side of the spectrum and wanted things to be all feminine and NO masculine.... this is merely the opposite the way in which women lived for thousands of years, really!)....however, this small group of women unfortunately became the entire FACE of feminism, and that is just so sad. The true feminist exists in women AND men that see that both sexes have something wonderful to give to society as a whole. That men and women both offer great qualities, and when men and women come together in projects, work, families, etc (when they are BALANCED)... the outcomes are greatly improved because of the balance of the energies. No sex is greater than the other. In fact we all hold male and female energies within each of ourselves. Male energy is straight lines, goal oriented, make it happen! Female energy is curved lines, creative thinking/process oriented, emotional. These blend together perfectly when balanced!! It is such a simple concept yet it still eludes the majority of humanity!!! Imagine if we could balance these energies....the entire planet would change.
