That fool has a long tradition in literature, the theatre and film. But not so the evil father. Gender feminists have radicalised and infiltrated not only the feminist movement but also pervade government and semi-government agencies. The gender feminists stand against the 'equity feminists' who carry the traditions of older feminism that fought for legal, social and economic equality for men and women. In contrast gender feminists believe that all women are victims of male patriarchal oppression and oppose all things suposedly 'male' including male science and rationality.
Science is a male construction that exists only to serve the interests of males.
Science and the Enlightenment rationalism underpin the patriarchy and it is male science that threatens the world with extinction through nuclear warfare. Seminal parts of this position can be seen in the 50s science fiction film Red Planet Mars where a woman argues that women are scared for their children. The problem of the world in Terminator 2 is the problem that men cause, the problem of total extinction of the human race, the problem that has been historically associated with male science. And men are like they are because they do not know anything about life in the way that women do. Other films like The First Wives Club and novels like The color purple are equally illustrative of the degree to which gender feminism has permeated our culture and simply add to the pile of negative images and logics about fathers that is offered to participants in our culture.
