but that's something I've noticed throughout my own life as well. Many of the "liberal" men are only liberal when it comes to their issues (which only makes me more thankful for the good ones).

I found this quote by Amanda Fortini "The Feminist Reawakening" (2008) that sums it up well:

"If you say anything about the specificity of Hillary being a woman, you're just doing the knee-jerk feminist stuff, that's the reaction,' said one woman..."Thinking about race is a serious issue, whereas sexism is just something for dumb feminists to think about."
