Uh, newsflash...when women were denied the same rights as men it wasn't a case of men being 'mean', it was a case of patriarchs and chauvinists oppressing the rights of those that should have been there to start with. The inevitable uprising and backlash was bound to happen.
Your simplistic notions are rather embarrassing frankly.
I agree.
Women asserting control over their lives, in place of kowtowing to men, really isn't much different from what the African Americans accomplished... and "free" sex is not the motivator for either group.
*Men have always had the freedom to act like whores without any stigma attached to their behavior - in fact, "sowing wild oats' is encouraged.
It has to do with having the freedom to express yourself as an individual and to achieve your full potential as a human being.
The Neanderthal-like attitude that women should be, and are happiest, barefoot and pregnant is, well, Neanderthal-like. Of course, to most Christians, who take the words of a two-thousand-year-old book as a blueprint for life today, it's totally acceptable.
Just as some in the middle east believe the entire world should live by Sharia law, it is wrong to force your outdated beliefs onto others, expect them to abide, and threaten them with death - in this world or the next, if they don't.
Maybe it's because white men lost control over the African Americans that they fight so fiercely to keep women "in their place" - just like they once did with the "Negros."
It seems that, for some men, the only way they can feel successful is having others to knock down and lord over.
