I understand your logic; I just don’t understand how you come up with the “blanket statement hypothesis”, as you put it, that modern feminists are “misguided fools”. You refer to feminists’ viewpoints on the differences between men and women. Can you clarify what you mean by this, and/or bring a source? I think you will be surprised to learn that modern feminism (and I speak for myself and many of my friends when I say this) is not focused on making men and women the same people with the same abilities, but rather expanding opportunities for women according to their needs. Do we think that male-dominated fields should become 50/50? No; we understand that more men are attracted to these professions than women. But we do believe that men and women should receive equal pay for equal work (when the job is exactly the same, seniority is the same, performance is the same, etc.) And when a woman comes along who is different than most women, and who has abilities that most women don’t have and desires that most women don’t have– for instance, she wants to work in an army combat unit and is physically capable of doing so– we don’t think it’s fair for her to be turned away on the basis of “most women can’t or don’t want to do that”. I can give more examples if you like.
