Turns out, feminists actually like men just fine.

One of the more irksome problems when it comes to being a feminist is constantly explaining that no, feminism is not being about anti-men. So I have to say, I'm rather enamoured of this study that shows that feminists aren't that hostile to men -- Not a surprise, it's just going to be hilarious the next time someone's throwing accusations about and I'll be able to say, "actually, they did a study and showed that that's not true." (Surprisingly, being able to cite random studies actually does stop some folk in their tracks, particularly geek folk who like to believe that they respect science.)

What's much weirder is that the study actually implies that some of the real man-haters are non-feminists. I'm not sure I quite buy the theory for this put forward in the blog article I've linked, but it's interesting food for thought.

On the subject of studies...I seem to recall reading one that stated that the couples with the most active and satisfying sex lives were the ones where the woman was a feminist and the man was secure in his masculinity...so go figure!
