...with a wall post that night but with a realization: Sweet old feminism’s all grown up, and she’s created a monster named Male-bashing. Despite the fact that American women are achieving at higher rates than ever before—they are accepted to colleges at higher rates than men, for instance—in the latest mutation of female empowerment, it has become totally acceptable for women to dismiss men as worthless bastards...

Feminism cannot survive unless we shed the mentality of, “I once was oppressed, therefore I have the right to behave badly.” When it comes to gender equality payback is not only a bitch—it’s completely ineffective...
