This article was written at a time when there was a backlash against feminist. Feminism pure and simple is nothing more than wanting to be treated with the same respect as anyone else. To receive equal pay for equal work. To be allowed the same opportunities as other people. Feminism asked for the same things that the Civil Rights movement asked for. The is always truth behind the joke. Even the reactions here show that the nerves that was touched was the female nerve. If someone wrote an article about how to cure Blacks who decided they wouldn't sit in the back of the bus of being so uppity, hopefully Whites would understand how demeaning that is to Blacks, serious or joking. Personally, I don't see much difference even if the target is women.
