> "Feminism does not say that"
Oh, really?
Yet, LOTS of feminists do. Here on Medium is full of that.

And it isn't a recent phenomenon either; just look at these statements from "classic" and famous feminists:
- We are, as a sex, infinitely superior to men. (Elizabeth Cady Stanton, leader of the women's rights movement)
- I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He’s just incapable of it. (Barbara Jordan, former Congresswoman)
- Men know everything - all of them - all the time - no matter how stupid or inexperienced or arrogant or ignorant they are. (Andrea Dworkin)
- Emasculating and degrading men was the right thing to do, but we should have left a little bit of dignity in men so that they were still useful to us. (Gloria Steinem, Ms. Magazine founder)
- If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman. (Margaret Thatcher)
- A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. (Irina Dunn, 1970 - Often attributed to Gloria Steinem)
