I have read her. And she makes a very compelling case for why feminism still hasn't achieved anywhere near it's goals of equality. I just always feel after reading her that most men have no place in her notion of gender equality. I feel like she, unintentionally perhaps, is proposing that men need to be scrubbed of all the traits that traditionally have made them proud to be men - courage, masculinity, strength, decisiveness. I feel like a lot of feminists, if they had the option of lobotomizing men, would do so. Maybe I'm being too sensitive or maybe I'm one of those men that feminists speak of as being too entrenched in the patriarchy.
