According to CAFE’s Ottawa chair, David Shackleton, the group’s detractors are the ones missing the point.

“Our evolutionary history has taught us to empathize with women and children, and not with men. Men were the protectors, and women and children were the protected. If you empathize with the protector, they can’t do their job; if you care too much, they can’t put their life on the line.

“The result is that when women and children are in trouble, we want to fix things for them. When men are in trouble, we want them to fix it for themselves. So we have an imbalance in society in empathy. But we’ve said to the world we want gender equality, and I think to do that, we need to address that empathy imbalance.”

I can't believe that was printed in a major news publication.

Interestingly the article refers to complaints by "women's rights activists." Is is possible that the word feminist is becoming so toxic that even feminists themselves are going to disavow it?
