In my opinion 'feminism' achieved much of its goals in its early years, with the right to vote and etc., but now what seems to be happening is that 'success' for women has been redefined so that women who do actually see success as biological, as maintaining a home, and as having a committed family-man husband, are considered outsiders and conservative. I think Jane D's philosophical underpinnings are unsound and this is where your above strategy could be targeted. | |

There's a gap between being aware of it as the diplomatic option and following through. | |

| Oct 2, 2017 at 22:55 | comment | added | English Student | You have educated me about how agreeing in general need not always be agreeing completely, thanks @Steve Jessop: +1 for this: "you could have said, but chose not to say: "you're right, as a man in this society I literally have no ability to unilaterally give up the power that is wrongly handed to me, and I'm certain that at times I have abused it. I completely agree with you." That's a step beyond what I had conceived as agreement but you are absolutely right and I shall try it out next time.
