If there is one thing that will always annoy me, it is feminism.

Dictionary.com defines 'feminism' as:

1. the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
2. an organized movement for the attainment of such rights for women.
3. feminine character.

"Rights of women equal to those of men." Equality or supremacy? What makes women superior to men? Examples of inequality in today's society:

• Custody rights - courts leaning towards mothers rather than fathers
• Maternity leave vs paternity leave - 52 weeks compared with 56 days
• Domestic violence - how many 'battered husband' campaigns can you think of?
• Traditional 'female careers' - nurses, child carers, cleaners - is it fair that men receive so much ridicule for having these careers?
