Maybe the student who said "We don’t need feminism. The sexes are already equal. Feminism is just women using their bodies for sex to dominate men” was right? Maybe gender theory classes contain a high proportion of hokum - as reflected in the hoax paper "The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct". How can we tell? Surely the Gender Studies Professor has too much of a conflict of interest to be a reliable determinant of the truth in this matter. And is the little boy at the back of the class who stands up and shouts "the empress has got no clothes on" telling the truth, or is he just an uneducated misogynist?
In the event that anybody names themselves as being women's activist and backings anything toward misandry, at that point they are not what they say they are. They go too far amongst women's liberation and misandry. If you don't mind comprehend this. I am for finished correspondence, sexual orientation imbalance is a genuine social issue. I would know, I have genuine involvement with it day by day, and I am in a social issues class in school right now. I am a glad women's activist who bolsters the majority of its goals, I don't bolster misandry. http://pwrlab.fiu.edu/Feminism%20and%20psychology.pdf
