Just as femininity is the desire to look up to a man, feminism is the desire to destroy man.

It pushes young girls to try to be boys (an endeavor which leads to failure and unhappiness as many post-feminist writers are observing today). It pushes young boys to try to be girls.

It has used the education system to try to wipe out everyone's ability to distinguish between masculine and feminine, a goal it has nearly achieved (at least among those who attended school under its reign).

Today, even radicals for reality, reason, selfishness, and capitalism profess either agnosticism towards gender, or else some degree of sympathy for man-hared.

"Rand was a product of her times," they say time and again, regarding her "old fashioned" views regarding femininity (ignoring the fact that on every issue, Rand's ideas were as unconventional during her time as they are now).

I've seen many marriages based on the "principle" of tit-for-tat. You took out the garbage last night, so I will take it out tonight. I pumped gas into the car last week, so it's your turn now. Of course, if something requires heavy lifting, the altruist-man is supposed to pick it up.

Childbearing is one of the big distinctions between men and women; accordingly, feminism encourages women not to have kids, but to focus on career instead. Feminism also believes in high taxation, which necessitates two breadwinners in order to retain a middle-class lifestyle for most households.
