Thank you Steve. I look forward to reading this. Agree with what I've read above totally. I definitely swallowed the feminism bait hook, line and sinker and only now in mid-life am waking up. I am very disturbed by it all, not least at how easily I allowed myself to be manipulated. My life would look very different had I had more backbone when I was younger.

Is this another instance of the gender equality paradox? While the speed of the shift may differ between the sexes, men have been moving to the right and women have been moving to the left. I do find it quite interesting that the embrace of extreme ideologies that identify with the dispossessed seem to be an expression of the leveling instinct women have: equality, or the illusion of it, must be maintained (see Warriors and Worriers): if you are struggling, you must be helped, and if you are above others, you must be brought down. If you look at the extreme ideologies that men embrace, they seem to involve the establishing of hierarchies.
