It looks like those that say the goals of feminism are to create a privileged class of women have some evidence. Women can now rule men by right of whether or not they are "offended" (note, that only the offense of protected classes are holy, and men are not a protected class).

What evidence did you find in my comment that privileged women over men? Adria was offended and I disagreed with her assessment of sexism and exclusion.

What your describing isn't feminism, but some kind of matriarchy where we must appease and not offend the ruling class of women.

If a man gets offended, nobody gives a care.

If a woman gets offended, it's a corporate crisis and you have to fire the guy responsible and publicly apologize.

There's some real bad harassment and sexism out there. But we need to be careful what we label. The fact that someone took offense isn't the standard by which it ought to be judged.

Quoting Adria from a comment in her post: > I don't consider myself a feminist.
