Since I grew up in the 60s, I think the whole idea [View all]

of feminists as "man-haters" was a construct of men who were threatened in some way by any feminism at all. I don't ever remember any sense that feminists hated men, and I have known many feminists. I do remember a lot of men who weren't self-confident enough to accept that women were 100% equal, and who railed against any feminism or semblance of it they saw.

It was inaccurate then and it's inaccurate now. It's another example of men attempting to define a women's movement instead of accepting the definition of the women themselves. I never felt that was ever an aspect of feminism.
