I would say feminism is a good thing. It still is necessary, not simply to continue progress, but because it will be needed to preserve that progress. Feminism needs to stick around until it is merely standard thought. When that happens, it will fall to the back of our minds, but it will stil exist in a sense.
Now, it must be said, there are a few things that come out of feminism that are aggravating, as usual. Theories about men being peripheral to the species, or women having the true key to life, those thing theories are both stupid and insulting at the same time. I think it's fairly reasonable to say that any time a feminist starts espousing the kind of babble that men used to oppress women, they are wrong.
Comment about sky-scrapers and missiles being phallic symbols are also retarded. The entire concept of the efficient of, the whole reason, behind sky-scrapers requires that they be built the way they are. Missile require something called "aero-dynamics". If some woman wants to try and design a competitive missile that's shaped like a vagina, all my luck goes to her.
I don't know how many feminists actually subscribe to these kinds of ideas, but I hope it's very few.
The other problem is all the crown wearers. They exist among every disenfranchised group. Women, blacks, Jews, gays.
They are the people that seem to be more interested in the sense of entitlement that comes with being an oppressed demographic than they are with making real progress. I dare say the might be afraid to have equality, because it would deprive the of the cause for all of their bitching.
As someone who is in favor of feminism, I think it might be the best course of action for feminists to eliminate these counter-productive sisters of theirs.
