Hitler? Really? Why must we go there. Godwin is not pleased, or maybe he is because according to his rule you lose the internets.
Anyway, I'm all for equal rights, but I do think men and women are typically better at certain things. It shouldn't limit things for individual females, but I find too often that feminists seem too bent on correcting past evils rather than moving forward to an equal future. That being said, I do realize the fact of male privilege and worry about how to raise my daughter to find happiness without being subjugated by a man nor subjugating men around her. Or really any of the permutations of warped sexual identity that cause women and men to act so fucked up toward one another.
On an aside I work a compressed work week so I always have Thursdays and Fridays off. I like to cook so I do most of the cooking around our house. This means that I do all of the shopping and, now that we have a baby, I drag a carseat around with me wherever I go. I am super amused by the reactions I've gotten from people. They are mixed between looks of sympathy that a single father (I'm happily married) would be so brave as to take his baby shopping *small tear runs down my cheek* and looks that show that I'm awesome for being a stay-at-home father (I'm fully employed). I've been complemented for going shopping on several occasions, which seems just crazy to me, but I work around enough married women to know exactly how little most men do around the house, so I guess it makes sense.
