IMO, anyway
Do you think that feminists
hate men?
As a group? I don't know. I don't think so, but whatever. Although I would imagine that SOME of them do hate men.
Do you think that feminists are out to get men?
See answer above.
Do you think that feminists have nothing of value to offer and ought to be relegated to a specific place for them to voice their views.
In RL, or here at DU? IMO, there are some who always seem to be involved in conflict. Constantly and repeatedly. This leads me to believe that it would be better for everyone involved for them to have their own special place here at DU. As for RL...again...who knows.
Do you think that feminists ought not point out when they see something as sexist or misogynistic?
Not a problem. The problem comes when they insist that THEIR viewpoint is the ONLY viewpoint, and anyone who doesn't see THEIR viewpoint is a misogynist...even other women.
Do you believe women in the US face any institutional oppression?
Some. But I don't believe it lurks around every corner.
Do you think they are personally insulting you when speaking of their issues from a feminist perspective?
Only when, as I pointed out above, they are INSISTING that their viewpoints are the only ones that matter, and that even women who don't see things the way they do are part of The Problem.
