:::: (ec) Alakzi, you said, "You don't understand why feminist ideals are important to many people, and that's OK."  I'm not looking to split any hairs here, but I've seen no evidence at all that Eric does not support "feminist ideals".  He has said many times that he believes that both men and women should be accepted on their merits, not on their gender.  As a women and a feminist myself, I am quite familiar with feminist thinking, and that is exactly what women have been asking for throughout the ages.  It is Wikipedia that misunderstands what the "feminist ideal" means, largely due to the recent string of the opinions of a few editors who have represented themselves as authorities on feminism.
