	Yes!  Why are those of us with undistorted unoppressive
attitudes not heard by the masses.  Why is that the angry anti-men
(read: oppressing) women (they call themselves feminists) are the
loudest?  Why can't we all just realize the importance of equality and
get on with it?  Instead we are still losing the battle of oppression
vs. humanity.

[Because you're outnumbered by anti-women men?  Or that the anti-women
men are the loudest?  Because not only are the anti-men women in the
way, so are the anti-women men?

Perhaps you could explain to me how anti-men women can "oppress"?
Don't you have to have power in order to oppress?  (This isn't a
sarcastic question, I'm really curious.)  I don't at all like anti-men
women (or anti-women men) but how are they oppressive?  --Cindy]
