I have NO problem with woman's liberation. I'm so totally behind it. But it's like Ferris Bueller said, I don't believe in isms. I think we should strive for an equal environment, not one where women have more power. Not one where anyone has more power.
I'm not even talking about workplace sexual harrassment. That I can get behind. You're there to work, not make lewd comments. But if I look at a woman the wrong way, she can call me on sexual harrassment, not just in a workplace, ANYWHERE. Then I'm put on trial, called a monster, and given a fine.
But if a woman looks at a guy and a GUY complains? Nobody listens, people make fun of him, and the woman thinks he's a fag.
Scales shouldn't be tipped in anyone's favor, I don't care what happened in the past. I mean, Christ. If anyone should be "free" from their stereotype, it should be the Native Americans, who either live on shitty government-provided reservations, or in tourist towns where they're forced to make baskets and beads while gawking suburban families take pictures.
