* ing. feminine side and all that,
while women were developing
their masculine side with asser
tiveness and logic,” he said.
“That's all fine and good, but
now the problem is that it went
too far They became so-called
‘feminist men' and lost some
masculine faculties in the pro
cess, like their natural
assertiveness.
"The feminine man became a
wimp — a nice reassuring boy.
which women were thinking
they wen; preferring to a natural
brute.” he added.
"Many still do think that Hut
many women also walked out
on their wimpy husband in the
last 10 years with lines like. ‘1
don’t want to be your
mother.’ " he said.
“At this point in time, you
have the feminist females and
the feminist males, and
masculine females and
masculine males," Carpenter
said. "There’s a whole range.
All the possibilities you can im
agine. Hopefully everybody is
trying to get to their balance as
individuals."
Hut Petersen said that hoped
for "balance as individuals" is
not at all a goal ot the feminist
movement.
•'Feminism is an i. me. mine’
sort of lobby, the same as the
National Rifle Association is a
lobby." he said
The feminist lobby and the
NRA lobby are similar in that
both are "vocal, cloaked in
righteousness and hold a nar
row. limited view. And like any
lobbying group, they want
everyone to dance to their
tune." he said.
Criticisms such as Petersen's
are "an overreaction on the part
of men." McGowen said. "It's
like blaming the victim When
all of history has seen the exclu
sion of women, it’s a peculiar
thing when the people who
have had the power turn around
and blame women for taking
some power.
"The women’s movement
still has a long way to go," he
said. “The feminization of
poverty is one clear symptom of
the real inequalities women still
suffer under."
Petersen applauds the much
needed advancements made by
the women's movement, he
said, but believes those ad
vances were rooted in the prin
ciple of individualism set forth
in the novels of Ayn Rand; prin
ciples that were very popular

among men and women in the
late 1960s and early 1970s.
He doubts the women's
movement can be successful
with its current basis of sexual
separatism.
"What the women’s move
ment has done... it has narrow
ed its goals to such peculiar,
symbolical, meaningless acts
that they have become an irri
tant and not a collective force."
Petersen said.
"What they've done is turn
the movement into victim
politics." he continued. "Tak
ing the role of the victim is a
very active organizing principle
— if you portray yourself as the
victim you remain pure. You
make the other sex the bad guy;
you remain good, but it's a pret
ty shortsighted role to play.
Their definition of women is as
oppressive as any definition in
the past 20 centuries. They've
just changed the location of the
pedestal.' ’
The "victim role" is inap
propriate because women
already have control over much
of the power and wealth in the
world. Petersen said. Men relin
quish that power and wealth to
women because "we do what it
takes to get laid," he said.
