Lol, no offense taken. I just assumed that the story about your professor was one that really pissed you off, which I totally understand.
Part of me just doesn't think I've read enough feminist literature... maybe it's just the ones that the teachers picked for us to read in high school were the only ones that bashed men and all the other typical feminist stuff really isn't like that.
Yeah well that seems to be a common theme in more... uh... publicized feminist literature.
I enjoy reading about society's effects and expectations of women... and to the reader, no that does not mean that I don't also care to read about society's effects and expectations of men either... But I enjoy reading literature that is empowering to females and encourages females to take control of their lives rather than being pitiful as many of these literary works portray them to be, or giving up all of your power to men ("I need a man to take care of me!"). I'm not saying that I enjoy literature that bashes men, empowering women is not the same as bashing men in any respect unless it is given that trait by the author, but I have read many articles and blogs that send the messages that I like, that women NEED to hear, which is "Hey, ladies, you got your freedom, now take control of your lives!".
I've never liked a single piece of feminist literature I've read
