Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

[Delysid]

I thought it was obvious from my post. Absolute unequivocal gender equality for everyone.

Got a problem with that?

First of all, let's relax with the hostility. I am attempting to have a civil discussion here and you've been tossing around some hints that you're looking to take this elsewhere.

To clarify, I was making an educated guess that this is what you meant, but I wanted to see you answer the question so we can both be 100% clear. Now, if you don't mind, could you explain to me exactly what you mean by unequivocal gender equality? Could you maybe give some examples or explain what this looks like on a societal scale? Also, could you give some examples of where this equality does not currently exist or is lacking?

I hate to answer your questions with more questions, but if I understand your position clearly than I can have a more informed conversation with you. But I'll politely ask you to drop all of the "got a problem with that?" nonsense because quite honestly that will take this discussion nowhere very quickly.

I don't understand this question. Civil rights movements aren't strategies. The movements uses strategies to put pressure on politicians and to change the general public's beliefs and attitudes. A strategy is marches to raise awareness for an issue or have protests or have pride parades.

I was not claiming that any civil rights movement was in and of itself a strategy.

Basically what I am asking is, does large-scale oppression of females still exist here in the states? If so then a feminist movement may still be necessary. Or, has it now come down to individual instances of discrimination which can be dealt with by developing certain strategies for eradicating said discrimination on a case by case basis?

I thought it was pretty clear that that is what I was saying, but if not I hope this rewording of the question has cleared things up for you.
