A bit late to the party but usually, in my book it's better late then not at all!
I had a similar upbringing as Bryan, i have flashbacks of me sitting under a large round table playing with my toycars, happy i was 'hidden' as i heard various men-unfriendly terms being flung across the room with great gusto, to put it mildly...about certain precious things (to me) being ripped off and made into mincemeat, you can imagine i'm sure
This was of course in the local clubhouse of the 'very new and liberal feminist movement' that popped up somewhere in the early 80's, my young teen mom hung out there with like-minded friends, while they were smoking pot and drinking wine ?
Of course some of these lovely gatherings wouldn't really fly these days, but i was happy to have lived them! (or survived to tell, lol)
Jokes aside, i have a very healthy dose or respect for women in general, absolutely see them as mental equals, and albeit slightly oldfashioned as in opening doors, paying the bill etc., i'd like to see myself as progressive in every other regard
I do hope the coming generations of women will take example from their mothers and grandmothers though! Because a lot of the newer rolemodels don't really fit into my mind's allocation of that particular 'title'...
Anyway: here's to alla you's fine ladies!
