*chuckles* let me guess....Sexism is no longer the problem that it was, and we women should let bygones be bygones, bury the hatchet and stop trying to make men feel guilty for the sins of their forefathers? Any balancing attempts on our part are by default aimed at modern day man when in reality he has done us no harm and as such our balancing attempts become in and of themselves an oppression?

Well *smiles* that's one way of looking at it. Another way is that we live in a world built of both modernity and antiquity and many of the economic imperatives and social conditioning which underpinned the deeply patriarchal and possibly misogynistic world of our grandparents are still in evidence and as such still to be fought against
