Maybe this is a way to balance the 'gender books' that should be fair to all concerned. Naturally, there will be an adjustment period, but it should be made as brief as possible:
-Men will not be allowed to run for or hold political office.
-Men will not be allowed to vote.
-Men will not be allowed to campaign for candidates.
-Men will not be allowed to own real property in their own name.
-Men will not be allowed to own businesses.
-The following professions are to be closed to men: medicine, law, engineering, soldiering, mining, professional driving, aircraft piloting, fishing, farming, and all professions of scientific inquiry (note: Men will be allowed to assist in these fields in positions such as nurse, clerk, secretary, or manual labourer).
-Men will not be allowed to initiate divorce proceedings.
-Men may not enter into any contractual obligation without the express, written and witnessed consent of their wives.
-Men may not hold any positions of authority in education or clerical institutions.
Sound radical? It shouldn't, as that's exactly the situation that held when my grandfather was born, just over 100 years ago, but the proscriptions were on women instead of men.
When you spend millennia treating women like property instead of like people and then have the nerve to act offended when they get a little strident, the trouble isn't with feminism. Process of elimination should tell you where the trouble does lie.
