The Family Circus: Duping Women Into Undermining Their Own Social Advancement

I am a feminist. I, embarrassingly, only recently embraced this label. It's not that I've only recently supported equal rights and privileges for women - ever since my ten-year-old self shrugged off the "BOYS RULE GIRLS DROOL" mentality, I've not seen any reason why women are inferior to men. The reason why I haven't embraced the "feminist" label is because of things spread by douchebags like Pastor Von:

[...]

Brandon works after school from three in the afternoon to nine at night six days a week.

Long hours for a young boy. He has one day off.

[...]

"Child labor, how horrible," the Liberal Feminist cry.

[...]

Across the fence in rich America, little by little the Liberals among us have taken away what made America great ... 'real' men. They have taken responsibility, discipline and competitiveness out of a boy's curriculum.

Feminists, you haven't a clue as to what it takes to make a real man!

Thumbs up Brandon, keep your school grades up, keep working hard and become a man!

Ignoring the potential negative impact on the scholastic excellence of a child by making him work, Von here has not only perpetuated the demonization of the term "liberal" and associated feminism with a demasculinization of men (and let's not even start in on the impact of gender roles in our society), but he also associates them both with a loss of personal responsibility, lack of discipline, and some negatively-impacting loss of competition - conveniently, without substantiation!

What, then, does this have to do with the title? Because I came across this post on my aunt's Facebook wall. Von has successfully managed to dupe a woman into undermining a movement that would seek to advance her own social equality. It blows my mind.
