Claim whatever you want, your comments have a pattern. And yes, you do have plenty against single women. It shows when you claim that only women who hate men are happy single. It is right there.

And if we take a look at your history of comments, it is easy to see that you resent feminism because as much as you would like to consider yourself an "humanist", you don't really consider women equal. Considering that feminists just want women to be treated as humans , Feminism is a requirement for humanism. Yet in your words "you don't toe the line of feminist" and you add "ideologies" which is a charged word meant to question the very basic idea that women deserve the same respect, rights and opportunities than men. But you don't consider gender ideology the traditional roles that have crumbled the second women haven't been forced into them. Again, it is telling.

You might want to ask yourself about your ideology that feels threatened by women being happy living the lives they choose instead of the life they are told they should live.

The thing is that you are right about the media and men trying to demonize feminists and trying to pressure women to keep the traditional roles. Yet that deminization is not working because our life experience keeps showing us that ditching thos roles makes us happier. Hell, Amartya Sen proved that giving women more freedom improved children lives. Yes, the children that you claim to put first. Freekonomics proved that allowing women to choose over their body, improved the lives of children. I can go on, but the data is there. So why a supposed engineer ignores the data that proves that feminism is indeed good for children's lives? Go ahead, write whatever lies you want to tell yourself, but you are not putting children first. For starters, girls are being denied opportunities in favour of your ideology. And even boys are many times left with less resources because the "man of the family" chooses to prioritize his wants and the mother is controlled by him and doesn't have the resources herself to feed them better or to send them to better schools.

This is what you call "better for children":

Go figure.
