It would have been amazing if men and women could switch places and walk in each others shoes for a mile, even if just for a day. Let men feel what being fondled in public feels like, and then being blamed for it because of their choice of clothes. Let men feel the burden of bringing up children who for the first five years of their life literally cannot live without their mothers, then for t...he next ten make constant demands on them, and for the next fifteen keep ignoring them. Let men feel how burdensome it must be to perform well at work just to be told that its their hair or their revealing clothes or their assets that get them the promotion. Let men feel the silently critical eyes of society on themselves when they get ahead in their careers - What a b***h, man, its her maids who have practically brought up her children!, and the taunts and jibes from her own family when they come back tired from work only to have the rest of the family expecting them to magically transform into a domestic goddess. Let men feel the intense resentment when husbands or boyfriends or fathers happily take credit for their womens successes. Let men feel the shackles of millennia of patriarchy when they are forced to suffix their names with their spouses. If we can empathize with this, then by all means let us hate on and denounce feminists. Until such empathy arises in us, lets try to understand where that anger and outrage (and often loads of crappy arguments) come from. Via The Frustrated Indian
