History of Feminism

There are, or used to be, others on DU who knew much more about feminism than I do. I am a feminist, and I've read numerous feminist books over the years, but I never took a college-level course in women's studies, and I could never get into feminist theory, which always seemed really dry to me. What I posted is just my own opinion.

Despite its sexism, that site is still a lot better than PUA sites. If a young man is going through a "manly" phase, it's much better if he reads that site than a PUA site. The romanticization of 1950s roles, though, is going to be inevitably sexist. The owner could greatly improve his site by making it feminist. I don't mean it would be a site focused on women and feminism but rather a site for strong men that realizes that strong men are feminists. There is nothing as attractive as confidence, and feminism in a man signals a total lack of insecurity.

(By the standards I'm applying here, women's magazines are also sexist. It takes a lot of effort to live in a society that is sexist without absorbing all of its sexist attitudes.)
