Male Bashing

Paper Summary:

This paper critique the prevalence of "male bashing" in today's society as unnecessary and unwarranted. It looks at how "male bashing" has always been in some way connected to feminist movements, even in its early days and how its forms were often blatantly political and hateful.

From the Paper:

"After millennia of gender inequality and a mere thirty years of attempted critique, modern culture has arrived at its current phase. Unfortunately, rather than the reconciliatory phase many feminists of the 1970's most likely dreamt it would be, gender differences in 2005 are hardened by stereotypes. "Male bashing," which appeared in early feminist writings, is today a daily pop culture phenomenon. Although the rhetoric has changed from "angry statements" to "belittling jokes," the outcome is the same - women's equality is achieved at the expense of men. "
