back. Of course they weren't familiar with the leading feminist intellectuals, but the message filtered down.

Men who felt powerless to stop horrible changes in their society--job outsourcing, wage and benefit stagnation, wealth inequality, health care spiraling out of control, no upward mobility, community decline--are being told by feminists that they're part of the "white male power structure" and that their inherent manliness is the root of all evil in society.

Rightly or wrongly, that was the message they heard, loud and clear.

And it's really disingenuous to blame this on a media conspiracy to discredit feminism. There was plenty of alienating messages coming from feminism itself, such as the "potential rapist" poster college students put up with men's names taken from the local phone books.

That wasn't media hype--that was a staged event by feminists to whip up "gender conciousness," with predictable results.
