    This seems at odds to your opening statement and general view in this thread.

    There's a lot of truth in what you posted, but you're falling foul of the base rate fallacy in your outlook - not something I'd associate with someone who's statistically astute and willing to criticise their own thinking. There's so many broad streams of feminism, to simply silo them all together is pretty crazy in my opinion. There's just as much diversity in opinion there as there is between father's rights groups and that guy in Santa Barbara on the men's rights spectrum.

    How about next time your on a date, you find out what kind of a "feminist" your date is and make a decision based on that? It's not quite putting your assumptions to "real hard test" like you're used to, but it's something I guess.
    It must be the type of feminists, I meet, correction feminists that find me, as I do not actively seek them out. I have bad history with them, so I get harass when I look for deeper information about their stats or comments about men bashing, and when I question their view of history a lot harder. Usually they start their attack and shaming then.....

    Limklad, unfortunately you appear to be expanding the definition of those who ascribe to misandrist feminist ideology and extending to anyone who might label themselves feminist (often oblivious to the aforementioned misandrist feminist ideology) and then in turn to women in general.

    As I said, I do agree that feminism is effectively 'broken' and has become, on balance, more a force for inequality than equality. And I recognize that there are a lot of bad eggs out there; the 'cake and eat it' brigade who'll cry equality when it suits and then hide behind the old Patriarchal stereotypes of women when they would prefer to avoid personal responsibility.

    But not everyone is like that and while increasingly common, neither are the majority, IMHO. I'm not married. I probably never will be - it just makes no sense for a man to do so anymore, but I don't rule it out either.

    So by all means trust but verify, but don't generalize about an entire gender. It's illogical and serves only to isolate you.

    Anyhow, the War of the Sexes never made sense to me; too much fraternizing with the enemy.
