Sorry PETA, but I'm gonna beat a dead horse.
My daughter is 9 now, so some of the feminist issues are a little more important to me than they were, say, 10 years ago. As a result, I have my ear to the ground for any information on the issue. While I agree with equality for all (the logic behind it being "because duh"), I can't really get behind the movement because the people acting as the mouthpiece are so unpleasant.
I know its some logical fallacy to say "Well, they lack the foresight and tack to see that acting this way will turn people away, so they must be wrong", and that's not my feeling. I would just not want to be around some of these people, it's as simple as that. Now, when I do educate myself a little, it's less to do with statistics and more to do with watching some train wreck video.
Since being repulsed my the moden extreme feminists, I've looked into some of the men's rights stuff. Being the mugwump that I am, I can understand a few of their points, but I remain on the fence, and I'll likely never make up my mind further than just "equality for all" (I know, I'm so brave).
A difference in argument styles that I see between the extremists on both sides and the moderates is that the moderates seem to draw on personal experience, while the extremists seem to be taking on the problems of the perceived community, like a non-centralized position that they couldn't point to. On the whole, it seems entirely unhealthy to live that way.
I will say that if it wasn't for these extremists I wouldn't be aware of some of these issues, so there's that.

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
