Probably because they are all of:
- vain
- self-obsessed
- feeble minded
- self-referential
- self-important
- liars
- intolerant
- sexist
- attention seekers
- self appointed victims
Lets face it, women of my generation (I am 35) and younger have never known anything other than 100% equal opportunities - in education, in work and in the home.
The reason feminism continues is not because there is a need for it (there isnt) but down to the fact that the favourite thing of many (all?) women is to sit talking about themselves, all day long.
I have nothing but the highest respect for educated, independent, confident, successful women. (This description covers my wife, my mother, both of my sisters and indeed most women I know).
But I cant stand "feminists".
