An empty stage. One spotlight. A woman steps into the spotlight, smoothes her graying hair, speaks.
There are some men who claim to be feminist--but treat their mothers with impatience and only minimum respect.
There are some men who claim to be feminist--but never think about giving up male privilege for the women in their family.
Sure, they respect women who are like them--rational, logical, and factual. After all, those are traditionally "male" qualities.
But God-forbid a woman is emotional, sensitive, and has no apparent "logic" to back up her intuition. That kind of behavior doesn't merit respect. That's being needy and weak.
Ironically, men like this often garner the respect, adoration, and friendship of women outside the home. Because many women still give too much credit to hypocrites who call themselves feminists.
Not that I know any such men personally, but so I have seen...
Lights fade.
