Is feminism really dying? By Karen Straughan

I'm usually in furious agreement with Ms Straughan, but on this... not so much. It is certainly true that the antics of Feminism are becoming daily more extreme and ridiculous, but I don't think that necessarily means the ideology is* on the wane - it could just as easily be that Feminists know that a great deal of their ideology's precepts are so well embedded in law and in both the public and private sectors that it can afford to pursue petty vendettas. Sure, it might cost them a point or two in their popularity; sure, more anti-feminists will stick their heads above the parapet.

But other than that, not much will change (at least as far as the way men and boys are treated) for a long while yet; it's an ideology largely immune to facts and reason; its "principles" infest public policy and private institutions alike; and millions of people repeat its mantras every day. And Feminists know it.

I agree that everything has its cycle and that there will be a time when the tide turns against Feminism, but we ain't there yet. Not by a long chalk.

It's feigning weakness so as to be underestimated. Reminds me of the scene from Star Wars when Palpatine feigned weakness in front of Mace Windu. "I'm so weak." Two seconds later he blasts him with a barrage of force lightning.
