I do not live in the US, so could you please elaborate on the violence depiction issue? I was under the impression, that men get their asses kicked in the media _a lot_ more. (partly due to our trouble in telling the difference between "awesome" and "possibility severe injury"). But I digress.

From an international perspective, I cannot take feminism in the US seriously, I just can't. In the original post, for example, the author takes issue with the WORDING OF A TEXT BOOK. Are you f__ing kidding me? Is that a problem, noteworthy for feminists to tackle? No. Again, going back to the international context: do people know, how women are treated not only in the Middle East, but in the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Russia and CIS or Turkey? _THAT_ is discrimination. _THAT_ is what feminism should be fighting against. _NOT_ about some silly issues in grammar and style.
