Moved rather contentious sentence from article, at the very least it needs a source for the claim, and the some is a rather weasel term. --Lexor|Talk 13:49, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Some people feel that women now have superior rights and opportunities to men, pointing to ever increasing disparities in enrollment between women and men in universities.
The sentence shouldn't be in the article whether it has a relevant source or not - this is an article about the history of feminism, and not the results/consequences/thoughts related to feminism. Dysprosia 13:58, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Male backlash against women
referring to the above sentence that has been cut. I agree it may be helpful to reword, but I think its an important development in the history of feminism. Whether it is remotely accurate or not, many men today believe that women have not only caught up, but are moving ahead of women. This has a strong impact on women's attempts to move their agenda forward, due to outright hostility from certain people. If you want it attributed, fine, but I'm too lazy to look into it right now. However, I feel this is a relevant issue to mention under recent developments in feminism.

- Backlash to radical feminism is discussed under "recet developments". How do you feel this coverage is lacking? Gadykozma 11:25, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- References to girls/women dominating the academic sphere are increasingly common. It has lead to a different, perhaps less reactionary, anti-feminism. Some educators, for instance, feel that education has gone to far to accomodate girls, and is now hurting boys. Whether or not you agree, this is a distinct phenomenon, at least in Canada and the USA.

- By all means add this to the main feminism article if you wish, but it has little use on a page about the direct history of the movement. The article is about the history of feminism, not reactions toward it.
- We can however, describe further the impacts and of third-wave feminism, which has the anti-reactionary flavor that you speak of (which I added in the todo above). Dysprosia 06:58, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
