Agreed on most counts, with some clarification/explanation on my part; in all of these conversations, it was clear that we were not discussing Feminists (capital F) or the man-hating variety. I DO generally ask the person to clarify before I smack them upside the head... but the majority of people this conversation comes up with - and usually in history or anthropology classes, at that - are the people to whom this conversation would apply.
The sadly interesting thing to me is the negative association the word HAS in society, as it almost acts as FURTHER proof for the need of such a venture in the first place. Why do feminists create such a bad connotation? I mean, arguably all groups with extremes hold similar negative connotations, but I don't think I've ever witnessed such vehement denial for association as I have with the feminists. It's one of those things that probably shadows exactly how ingrained gender-roles are in our society, and that makes me sad.
