There has been a war going on for years, right under our noses. It's
sometimes violent, but oftentimes it's a war of words. It's been going on
here in the United States for years, but only in the last few years has it
been more prevalent.

It's a war on gender.

More specifically, it's a war of women against men. We don't see it on a
casual basis, but we do see it in other ways - education, the workforce and
our personal lives. And it's time to stop and embrace the changes that have
been made since the 1960s and 1970s instead of exclusively focusing on the
few things we haven't achieved.

In the beginning, the feminist movement made great strides in making sure
women had rights in American society. But the problem now is that along with
those strides, women have taken a step back because of those women that I
commonly call "gender feminists".

The definition of a gender feminist is that of a woman who hates men so much
that she's willing to advocate under the veil of rights for women but whose
real agenda is to malign men. They are not to be confused with the women who
are honestly making an effort to make sure there are equal rights for both
men and women.

When I used to work for this paper between 1993 and 1995, I had written a
few editorials about the P.C. movement at that time. I wasn't liked by the
gender feminists on campus because I spoke up on the ridiculousness of it.
One of my favorite letters was when I was accused of "wanting to be a man."

Then there was the night that I got a call at three in the morning from some
drunken woman who tried to argue with me over an article I had written about
school mascots. She somehow decided that this was the perfect opportunity to
inform me that "women make up 51 percent of the minority" (I had
to restrain
myself from asking her, "Doesn't that make us the majority, then?").

These were my first encounters with the gender feminists. Over the years
since then, I have seen many examples about how their influence has affected
many aspects of our life, because they are the loudest voice. However, a lot
of these changes have affected other aspects of our society negatively, and
men are paying the price.   Continued...
