But the thing is, the majority of the "feminist" books that I read don't even make the women > men argument. They don't paint the protagonist as being superior to males, the authors I've read usually bash the males but then make the female protagonist a pathetic, weak willed person and it's like the audience is suppose to feel sorry for them (ex. The Color Purple, Beloved), but I don't because I'm too busy being appalled of how hard the author is trying to make the protagonist's life so disgustingly miserable that it becomes baffling and hilarious... and one of those ways that they make the protagonist's life disgustingly miserable is making every single male in the main character's life a complete dick.
Oh GOD, Lifetime, Oxygen, all those self-proclaimed "women's channels", they're the WORST.
Every women is a rape victim or a domestic abuse victim, or their man is a cheater, or SOMETHING melodramatic happens to them to the point where you just have to say "...Really?"
My favorite example of this was when Lifetime had on a series called "The Client List", which was basically about Jennifer Love Hewitt being a prostitute. Of course, they never really say she's a prostitute, but that's what she basically is. And they advertised that shit like crazy on Lifetime. LIFETIME: THE CHANNEL FOR WOMEN, EVERYBODY! God, I swear these channels think too highly of themselves... "the channel for women", it's just so stupid, I can't even get mad about it.
Cause... I don't know. I guess there are more middle aged, stay at mom moms who have nothing better to do in the US than there should be. The world is a sad, sad place.
I've never liked a single piece of feminist literature I've read

Like how every woman is a fucking rape victim on Oxygen (The Women's Network)...
I call it the rape/domestic violence network.
