Well I think your responses alone, Spartan, show that individuality is alive and well.

But as long as you keep equating brotherhood to fascism, lofty ideals to misogyny and refreshing conviction to preachiness - I can't really look at your viewpoint with a great deal of understanding.

As for your disgust at being "preached" to... OK, perhaps my reaction to Mein Kampf would be one of disgust as well. What matters, of course, is our ability to intellectually rise above things which we happen to disagree with.

I'm guessing you're not against preachiness in principle though. As in, if women were to unite in a sisterhood of sorts (which they have) - politically driven by feminism - how would you respond to that? With disgust, loathing, cries of moral outrage?

Why is the "How to be a woman" thread not generating allegations of fascism? Hm, I wonder...
