Wha?
I most certainly do not believe that "people who are consistently victimized and dehumanized by the current power structure should accept it without question or complaint".
What I believe is that the feminist ideology I referred to is:
1) Misdirected. To the extent that there is oppression, it is by very high status men, not men as such. As Scott Adams put it, the Vice President doesn't ask for my advise when deciding who to bomb.
2) Wrong. As revealed by their actions, women in general do not want men to act per (most of) the dictates of feminism, even if, as is unlikely, feminists do.
I'm not going to bring this topic in the justification for these positions, but suffice to say, my beliefs are nothing remotely like what you have attributed to me, and I have said nothing that gives you such a basis for believing so.
I think bogus's comment is evidence to the contrary. The proper response when you're misunderstood is not to be incredulous that you were misunderstood and leave it at that.
