I see some famous actress has made a speech launching the UN’s HeForShe campaign. The speech was aimed at men telling them that feminism is definitely not about man-hating while quoting Edmund Burke and offering such pearls of wisdom as “If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled.” I don’t like to say much on feminist theory – too many others are far more eloquent than I can ever be – but maybe it would be more useful if men understood that sometimes feminism is about entirely justifiable (and just) man-hating, and that sure this might not be hugely comfortable for men, but also history is contained within the strains of that hatred. Only an organisation like the UN could come up with a feminist campaign aimed at making men more comfortable.
