Gender essentialist feminism. It's not what I consider feminism, but sadly many people subscribe to it.
"All men are animals" I hear from both women and men: "you shouldn't wear a short skirt, you know how men are!"
What an insult to men. As if men are sub humans who can't control themselves.
On TV: men are portrayed as boorish oafs, loveable shlubs, who are clueless about **laundry, cleaning, or childcare or else slobs living in their parents house. (which there is nothing wrong with that) All they need is a women to keep them in line (I'm looking at you Bounty Towels. The one where the guy sets the plunger on the counter and the wife rolls her eyes and cleans up after him. 
“If women ran the world, there would be no war.”
I had a huge fight with my mother over this. It's the same mindset that says women are the kinder, nurturing gender and men are animals. Sorry mother, I don't want to be the gatekeeper of morals.
An aside: the whole registering for the draft at 18 that men have to do, but not women is part of the gender essentialist crap.
Either both sexes do it or abolish it.
Radical Feminists are a nastier version of gender essentialist fembots. IIRC besides being bigots about transgendered folk, don't they hate men too? To the point they recommend killing them?
**I am a loyal Tide user and I really like them now: they have a commercial where the dad is a stay at home day, doing the laundry, playing with his daughter etc.
