    Should Men Embrace Feminism?

    Dear Ms. Clark-Flory,

    It will be imppossible for me to take "feminism" in the United States seriously as long as women are not subject to ALL of the same laws as men: that is, until WOMEN are required to register for the military draft.

    Secondly, you're assuming that men have a choice in this matter. A man will "embrace" the same level of "feminism" that the woman in his life demands--which, in my experience, is a seemingly random mixture of 70s equality rhetoric and 19th Century female privilege--which means most women are staunch feminist up until the moment when heavy lifting is involved.
