As far as feminist anger goes, back in the 1960s, I thought I was a feminist because I believed in "equal pay for equal work," a simple enough concept which almost anyone should see ought to work.

Unfortunately it still doesn't happen, [although things are somewhat better] and the whole concept of "feminism" has deteriorated into a meme that all men are enemies and the government should fulfill women's needs. Today's feminists are angry women mostly. I'd be angry too, if I thought that half of the human race was no dam' good.

Fortunately I, and many other women like me, think that men are just fine, thank you very much, just the way they are. We like men. I have one in my home right now that I've been devoted to for 37 years and counting, and we have many men friends I'm also devoted to.

I still can't understand how feminism evolved into a gripe group for selfish, unsuccessful females, but I no longer hold membership in the concept. And I definitely don't think that the government should take over the male role in society. Look how well they've done with the Post Office.
