But this doesn't actually matter very much to me, because I never wanted to stop them. These feminists cannot rebel against me, because I am on their side. I believe that a large number of men felt the same way. Young men from the sixties were especially prone to be on the side of liberty, dressing the way you want, and doing what you want. They supported feminism.
Most men still do.
The problem was, you can't have a rebellion if your oppressors give up as soon as you start making your speeches. They've got to be oppressive, and men in the sixties generally weren't. So what happened is that a new radical feminism was created, which claimed that men and women are alien to each other, and that the interests of men are fundamentally opposed to the interests of women. Whereas the early feminists struggled for the vote by appealing to men, these new feminists were not even interested in speaking to men. I remember going to a conference on feminism a few years ago.
