	I thought that the whole premise of the feminist movement was 
the equality of women with respect to men - that is, the abolishment of
sexual oppression.  By saying men have 'no right...' you are oppressing
and that is as bad as a man opressing you.  Its too bad some people have
distorted the ideals of feminism with uncontrollable anger - unfortunately
these are the people we hear loudest - the UNfeminists.
