I see some famous actress has made a speech<\/a> 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\u2019t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted women won\u2019t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don\u2019t have to control, women won\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
