Document Summary
Want to go against nature and god. Talking all the jobs and making the world hard for white men. Everything they know about feminism has come into their lives third hand. They think feminism is a bunch of angry women who want to be like men. They do not even think about feminism as being about rights, about women gaining equal rights. Clearly states that the movement is not about being anti-male. To end patriarchy we need to be clear that we are all participants in perpetuating sexism until we change our minds and hearts. Most men find it difficult to be patriarchs but they fear letting go of the benefits. Men find it easier to passively support male domination. We lose sight of the positive when all we hear about feminism is negative. Feminism to give a foundation of equality and justice to stand on.
