"As has happened on certain occasions during the past five years of Big Brother, housemates have been warned and penalised with respect to issues including violence, racism and sexism," Ten said.
Rejecting the university as inherently patriarchal (because men founded the institution), feminists seek fundamental changes in its nature. Feminists do not endeavor to become an appendage to the existing system, just joining its mainstream, achieving access, and providing the academic world with a different, feminine perspective. Feminist Charlotte Bruch asserts that "You can't just add women and stir."4 Feminist Elizabeth Minnich does "not believe that such work [simply adding women] is, by itself, adequate, because it remains within a system built on principles of exclusion and characterized by the conceptual errors those principles necessitate and perpetuate."5 Instead, the feminists' call for change extends not only to the structure of the university, but also to pedagogical reforms and, most fundamentally, to the concept of knowledge itself.
A few years after my firstborn daughter was born, I mentioned to my wife that I would like to raise her to feel she had the option to be a "femme fatale", should she lean that way, regardless of what my LDS (Mormon) religion taught to the contrary.
She did not end up becoming one [yes she did], but a well-rounded, if assertive, woman, who wanted, and essentially got, a husband who, in her words, "worships the ground I walk upon". [<--- see ?]
My point is if you raise daughters to feel that they truly have a femminist option [so he/she is admitting that "femminist option" equals emotional abuse ? ok...], and you will still love them as much, they will probably make balanced choices.
I don't want to date or marry a sexist monster, I want to be with a kind woman that loves me and stays on my side. You and your daughter are terrible. I feel sorry for her husband.

What you want, "my friend", is a Stepford Wife. I feel sorry for the poor girl that winds up with you. Reminds me of a song by the Dixie Chicks: "...Wanda looked all around this town
and all she found was Earl...".
What better way than to cause someone to have such low self-esteem that she becomes dependent on her abuser?
Verbiage like that just serves to increase the very weak case that feminists have when they insist that the men's movement is predominantly white heterosexual men.
