I mean that two people doing the same job at the same level to the same quality should receive the same pay, regardless of gender etc I mean that two people suffering the same hardships should receive the same benefits irregardless of gender etc. I mean that two people who have committed the same crime in the same circumstances should be treated equally, irregardless... And so on. These are things that have the potential to affect everyone. Basically, equality in the public (work, anything directly impacted on by law etc), not private, sphere.

And those are the areas that the feminist movement should have stuck to. (Except, of course, none of the above are a single-gender issue, or even just a gender issue, and I can't help wondering if a single movement fighting for equality in the public sphere would be more effective than many small groups each fighting for their own little subset. But I also suspect such changes will be more easily and lastingly made by changing the overall culture than by imposing new, half thought out laws).

People's private lives should be just that. So long as they aren't involved in anything illegal, and are basically following some form of "and it harm none..." approach to living, then what of it? (Harm obviously not meant literally - I may physically be "harmed" by a spanking, but mentally, I'm healed, ergo I consider myself to be not harmed).

The point I think I realised feminism had gone too far was when the term "new man" started to be bandied about in magazines a lot.
