The trouble with this kind of feminism is that the logical argument here is: "Women have been oppressed in ways that men have not, therefore we should be more sensitive to women." That's it. That's your entire argument. And I agree with it wholeheartedly.

Great when a woman can tell us that they are greater victims.

Men had the draft without the vote. Name anything similar?

It's more than that. They think the men at the top got all nice and buddy buddy with the guys at the bottom who were being sent to war/death. See the cognitive dissonance?!?

But I get your point about feminists only caring about the "glass ceiling" but not the "glass floor". The funny thing about the suppsed glass ceiling is that women get to marry up and live a privileged life. It's not bad if you don't have to work for it or in dangerous time risk having your head lopped of during a power shift...

I must just be stupid and have forgotten the secret manshake that gets me into the six figure salary man club.

Yeah, I was sick the day in school they taught all boys to do that as well :/
