47	->Hanna Rosin's newly-released ''The End of Men'' (based on a column from ''The Atlantic'' with the same name) argues that, basically, ''Film/SpiceWorld'' was [[MistakenForProfound one of the more prescient films of the last fifty years]]...men, [[MenAreUncultured unable to do any damn thing right]], are regressing to a sort of stunted Creator/DanielTosh-esque be-hoodied boy manhood. Soon they will be kept on ranches and farmed for their sperm while the women of the matriarchy hold high minded debates about whether it's okay to require that men taken for walks off of preapproved government Man Reserves should be leashed, or if that's inhumane.
48	-->--'''[[http://jezebel.com/5947841/no-one-knows-who-the-hell-is-in-charge-anymore Erin Gloria Ryan]]''', ''Jezebel''
49
50	->I don't understand why the ''{{Series/Smallville}}'' writers don't get this. Yes, ComicBook/LoisLane has to be a "strong" character. Yes, she has to be emotionally tough and borderline brilliant in order to attract someone like Superman. Her strength makes her stand out. But why, oh why, do the writers equate acting like a cow to complete strangers with personal strength. I didn't see a tough woman forging her own way in the world here, I saw a [[SpoiledBrat whiny, overgrown toddler]] browbeating someone because she was the one who wanted to [[ShoppingMontage make stops along the way]] and so was late for her reservation.

53	->...Who cares how men feel or what they do or whether they suffer? They have had over 2000 years to dominate and made a complete hash of it. Now it is our turn. My only comment to men is, if you don't like it, bad luck - and if you get in my way I'll run you down.
54	-->--''Letter to the Editor: "Women's Turn to Dominate"'' -- Signed: Liberated Women, Boronia -- Herald-Sun, Melbourne, Australia - 9 February 1996
55
56	->One of criticisms for this movie is the portrayal of women; mainly Amanda. No longer are the women in [[Creator/WoodyAllen (Woody) Allen's]] movies just slightly neurotic or finnicky but now straight up evil harpies... in the past Allen was much more able to take as well as he gave. In ''Film/AnnieHall'', Annie may have issues, but Alvy was just as bad if not worse. In ''Film/AnythingElse'', Amanda is evil and Jerry is [[CanonSue as innocent as an angel.]]
57	-->--'''[[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Miles Antwiler]]''' [[http://moviemoses.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/anything-else-2003-woody-allen/ on]] ''Film/AnythingElse''
58
59	->The most toe-curlingly awful moments of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E5TheTimeMonster The Time Monster]] are where Ruth is made a feminist to make her comically annoying. But that's nothing compared to this story, which contrives to have the Doctor [[YouGetMeCoffee be a sexist ass]] to Sarah just so she can complain about it. The problem here should be obvious -- the show goes out of its way to make a major character sexist just so it can get in a line complaining about sexism. In other words, the show's reaction to feminism is actually to [[NotHelpingYourCase make its major characters more sexist]].
60	-->--'''El Sandifer''' [[http://www.philipsandifer.com/2011/09/why-not-make-some-coffee-time-warrior.html on]] ''Series/DoctorWho'', [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E1TheTimeWarrior "The Time Warrior"]]
61
62	->...I feel that 'man-hating' is an honorable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.
63	-->--''Robin Morgan (editor of MS magazine)''
64
65	->Maureen Dowd has only ever remained employed so that the sexist bastards who own the ''New York [[HeManWomanHater He-Man Woman-Hater’s]] Newsletter'' can point to her and go 'gosh, aren’t women and feminists dumb and selfish and evil she-beasts who try and [[SayingTooMuch steal your alimony, you hear that Cheryl, I’ll get my kids back, you’ll see!]][='=]\
66	And despite how mind-numbingly awful she is when trying to handle anything related to gender politics, Dowd always manages to find exciting new lows whenever she turns her syphilis-riddled mind to politics. Endless parades of poorly sublimated daddy issues, deep grudges based on imaginary slights, and just pure concentrated stupid on the level to make one [[OffendingTheCreatorsOwn weep for one’s gender]]....Jonathan Swift she ain't.
67	-->--''[[http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/39955 Sadly, No!]]''
68
69	->...Moreover, in the not-so-distant past, the belief that women routinely make up rape charges often led to appalling treatment of victims. However, in challenging what author and law professor Susan Estrich has called “the myth of the lying woman,” feminists have been creating their own counter-myth: that of the woman who never lies.
70	-->--''Slate'', "[[http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2014/09/false_rape_accusations_why_must_be_pretend_they_never_happen.html Crying Rape]]"
71
72	->The feminist dilemma is that when women like Elle Macpherson make millions of dollars from strutting around in exactly the same sort of clothes, or branch into designing them, they epitomise strong, successful women. But when they are not yet rich and famous they epitomise the objectification of women.\
73	Feminist commentators can't have it both ways.
74	-->-- ''[[https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/bill-ochee-feminists-cant-have-it-both-ways-on-gold-coast-meter-maids-20150414-1mkva9.html Bill O'Chee]]''
