40. I might have a serious problem with that.
Have you looked into anything that the feminist groups do that isn't in support of equal rights? Many believe that equal rights is the only goal of feminism but I disagree.

Like for example opposing all things that look into helping boys that are failing at a alarming rate in school. Learning models were changed to favor females back when the same problem was affecting them in schools. However now that the shoe is on the other foot, the former "equal rights" groups oppose any investigation much less action being taken.

How about the fact that NOW has convinced some University to impose sexual assualt policies that prohibit the accused from questioning the accusser in any way. It's almost a immediate assumption of guilt.

The major feminist groups in my eyes do many great and needed things. However I see a disturbing trend moving away from "equal rights" that I simply cannot support.
