+1 to everything you said GDwarf.
In general, I find myself between a rock and a hard place, as the saying goes, trying to re-assert that being feminist does not put me in the camp with the misandrists (who strike me as simply wanting to have the power to abuse males like females can be abused now in many Western cultures).
Art is a funny thing, too, that I don't believe can possibly come to any clear definition. I thoroughly enjoyed attempts by thinkers like Nietzsche though to try to give it a clearly new and different, but still no more analytic or full, definition, though.
In general, I think what people need to realize is that even if they aren't feminist, for whatever reasons they end up not caring, be it opinions on morality etc. etc., what it ultimately comes down to in a civil society is the availability of disagreeing and still being taken seriously in disagreeing.
That is, as long as feminists don't run around pretending to be holding the true moral banner that all must convert to, and yet they are still taken seriously by the rest of the communities, we can talk about this issue and decide case-by-case who is going to align with what.
All that said, I do find myself fully believing that there is better justification for being feminist than not, but no good justification for being misandrist.

TL;DR: Well said GDwarf. I appreciate your posts in general so far, on the whole. Take my +1's. YOU MUST. Heh.
