Sometimes they seem hard to find in modern day America, but they are out
there - women who don't buy into the party line of feminism. I'm running
into more women nowdays personally who will tell you that they don't go
along with it. My own opinion is that you are beginning to see small
signs of a quiet backlash against it by women, and that is heartening
news for men. Men alone aren't going to be able to overcome this, it's
going to take the help of men-loving women who step up and say "Enough
of this"

I think you are right. One of the biggest obstacles facing men is social
attitudes. I constantly encounter people who do not even acknowledge that
there are many areas in which men are at a disadvantage.
