The people who were banned because they stepped ever-so-slightly out of line question them a bit, but it's never been well enough organized to really get them to notice. Maybe, if you could get enough of these people together and get them to talk rationally and reasonably about their complaints and get them into the larger picture thing, there could be a legitimate place for them.
True but lets hope they don't speak for all feminists. I do have a small story to share about feminism gone awry though.
In junior college before I transferred to Cal I took a course called Women in Film. The instructor was pretty cool and I almost always agreed with her. But then, and I can't remember the film that brought it up, after some film about politics and war she actually said "Women should be given this power. They can't do any worse."
How naive! I told her if power were the kind of thing that was handed out to good people we might even find a few gents that could do better. The problem is power isn't that kind of thing. You have to take it. Anyone who will do what it takes is going to be pretty much be cut from the same cloth regardless of sex.
