What is "sexism?"  Why are feminists so victimized by it?  Why do they attack and pathologize the behaviors that result from heterosexuality?  Is there any truth to the claim that "sexism" is bad?  Is there any hope for men in engineering, computer science, and physics -- men who can't help but act dominant due to their powerfully male minds?  Do geeks make good lovers?

This video explores the dark concept of "benevolent sexism," an egalitarian ideology so bizarre that some women thought it was a hoax.  Anna Rittgers is "beginning to suspect that the modern feminist movement is actually comprised of a bunch of honest-to-goodness misogynists whose goal is to make women look ridiculous."

Since feminists are empowered by open hostility, should men simply stop acting benevolent, and go their own way?  Do women have the cognitive ability to realize when they're being irrational?  Is this why religions reject the idea of female authority?
