Yeah, me too.

Seems "feminism" used to be about demanding equal conditions for women
(which is cool), but if the Geek Feminism Wiki that Paul linked at the
start of this thread is any indication, it has devolved considerably.

I hope that the author(s) of the wiki represent an extreme angle on
feminism, and that the movement is overall more reasonable and
constructive.  If that makes me "anti-feminist" in this context, then
I accept the label.

Cheers,
