however, but even if the radical feminist leaders who set the political agenda were aware, they would not care, considering such a large portion of them are lesbian and hence not interested in males, regardless of whether the males are attractive.
    The problem with today’s feminism has nothing to do with the original goals of the “women’s” movement, such as equal economic opportunities, full political liberty, and fair treatment under the law. These are objectives that most reasonable people would be crazy not to support, as they embody nothing less than justice for all. However, the more progress that was made toward those admirable goals, the more the agenda shifted from
equality
to
hostility
toward males. Today, feminists are more likely to be found discussing their mutual contempt for males, and those with influence have tried making expressions ofmasculinity itself politically incorrect behavior. They believe that the cause of all society’s problems is masculine males and that the universal solution is to make males more feminine. Feminists have tried to achieve equality by erasing the gender differences entirely, altering everything from everyday vocabulary to common law, as if there were no biological differences between the sexes.
    Such ideas have unfortunately been able to spread into many of our institutions, particularly our schools, in parts of the Western world.
    Ironically, however, the only reason such ideas have spread so successfully and feminists’ attacks on men go on without much defense lies in the fundamental difference between the sexes, that females
are
more vulnerable than males and thus
any
kind of response from a male would be seen as unjust. If males were to put down females the same way that feminist females tend to put down males, the headlines would scream misogyny and sexism. This difference in the level of tolerance or even acceptance of how much worse females are allowed to talk about and treat males is rooted in the underlying biological fact that one sex
is
more vulnerable than the other, while at the same time being more valuable and hence more important to society. This makes it politically correct and socially acceptable for the more vulnerable, yet more valuable, sex (females) to attack the less vulnerable sex (males) seemingly without limits, but not the other way around.
    Luckily, it is quite easy to avoid these tiresome debates, and men who are successful with women are too busy enjoying their lives to write letters to editors or engage in political campaigns. They are nowhere to be found in those areas because they have so many better things to do. This is the same reason why you seldom see
attractive
females wasting their time in those debates, either.
    While early feminists have succeeded in increasing females’ rights in society to equal those of males, they have managed to do so without increasing females’ responsibility to match that of males, although more responsibility usually goes hand in hand with more rights. Leaders and legislators have allowed this to happen because taking responsibility always involves forms of risk, and since females are more vulnerable than males, but also more valuable, risk-taking behavior is seen as masculine and inappropriate for females. No one expects females to take huge risks, and no female will fight for increased responsibility as risks are undesirable, unlike rights.
    While all forms of responsibility do involve exposing yourself to risk, the severity of the risks can vary greatly. Females always have and still do take more responsibility at home, for instance, but they do so because that domain is safer and involves a lot less risk than responsibilities in the outside world. For instance, responsibility for armed soldiers and the defense of nations, as males tend to take, involves much greater risk than responsibility for young children, as females tend to take. But even in the home, if a task involves risk taking, like a
