So, in other words, this is most definitely a WAR, and neither that word
nor actions taken under its auscipes are anything to be ashamed of.

I am not saying I disagree with this. Indeed, it makes a lot of sense to
me. I'm just saying that if we are going to interpret the situation as a 
state of war, we should not be ashamed or afraid of the potentially nasty
things which will surely result.

I am a partisan. I understand your words. Feminism has some definite
enemies. The question is what to do with them.
