These attitudes are a relic of the 1970's when these beliefs might have at their peak had several thousand true believers. What remains today is a handful of mostly geriatric crackpots who have found an outlet to connect with one another online.

To equate this with feminism, or even many of the tangents the HoFer's launch themselves on with feminism as it would be defined to most women is disingenuous.
