Your views on extreme feminists?

I'm all for equality, but for me feminism is a direction that will lead us to a female oriented society, instead of the old male orientated one. At present, men have certain advantages in society but women have certain ones too It's not far off perfect the way it is.

Any extreme socio-political groups are not healthy and deserve all the criticism they get. What annoys me about extreme feminists is a) they assume to speak on behalf of all women and b) when people think 'feminist' they automatically think of these aggressive, man-hating types. That is NOT what true feminism is.

they always come up with retarded things by looking into things to closely eg I read about this feminist who called the vagina monologues (I know tis crap but what she said was still retarded).........She called its name a form of "psychic genital mutilation" because it ignores the labia and clitoris and she said it should have been called "the vulva monologues"

another good example would be them complaining about the male:female ratio in toy story which is about a boys toy collection

Take Harriet Harman's plans to implement a system where one of the top two jobs in government have to be a woman. So you can have two women, a man and a woman, but not two men. She has good intentions for changing the fact that the top jobs in government are generally male dominated (though it could be argued that more men getting involved in politics is a cause, rather than a glass-ceiling), but that kind of system will only then alienate men. A better focus would be to simply encourage more women to become active in politics and then hopefully their presence will be felt at the top.

So yes in short, good intentions, but clumsily misdirected in its efforts which will then only make life unequal for other areas of society (ie. men), and using the excuse that women had it bad, now perhaps women deserve an elevated status in order to make up for it, which is completely unfair as nobody alive today is responsible for what happened.
