''The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.'' ~ Pat Robertson
Some people are incredibly stupid.
Unfortunately, this exaggeration is not totally absurd. It's the stereotypical view of feminism & the mould society thus expects feminists to fit into. Women's liberation movements have been increasingly prevalent and successful in the past 40 years, however, as liberated as women are nowadays, women are still painfully confined to roles expected of them. Similarly with the homosexual rights movements (or even just societal acceptance that there will be gay people in this world *gasp!*), society is increasingly accepting of homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgenders (among other determinations across the spectrum of gender and sexuality), yet it is only insofar as the non-heterosexual fits the societal concept of what is "gay." ABC's Modern Family has been forward-moving in it's depiction of an openly gay couple, yet note that in the series entire 1 1/2 season run, the gay couple has yet to be depicted even sharing a kiss. It's depressing to realize that as forward as we think we are as a society, we're still not truly accepting of anything outside of a male-dominated society's expected roles of women, gays, children, etc.
