I think mainly it did a lot of damage to men's superior economic
situation.  (All together now: AWWWWW)

Saw something in the paper the other day that offended the shit out of
me.  A woman columnist was going on and on about how women with babies
shouldn't have to go to war, that women and men are inherently
different and that women should be staying home to take care of their
babies because they're the ones who gave birth to them.  She went on to
say that she *likes* all the aspects of the women's movement like
better opportunity and all, but enough is enough.

I wonder if this woman considers herself a feminist.
