Actually, feminism didn't really take root when the women took their bread to Bastille. Remember war? While the men were out fighting, the economy was left in shreds. That was when women worked in the factories and that was when feminism really started.
About treating women as sexual objects, I mean not treating us TOTALLY like sexual objects. I think different women have different mentalities as to the percentage upon 100 % they want to be viewed with a wolf's eye. But, also depending on the man, of course.

Here's a news flash for the women out there; from a male perspective, of course. Men don't want what you are offering. My best mate has just found the true secret to happiness. It consists of the following:
1. He has custody of the kids (she doesn't because she's a nutter).
2. He has good mates.
3. He has a good job.
4. He has a girlfriend who has her own place (not the mother). They will never be a couple and will never live together.
5. No bitching - no whinging - no PMS.
Ladies - you have over valued your assets and now you have nothing.
I'm defititely looking forward to seeing women fall into utter misery because they have forsaken biology for ideology. There's some nasties install and I will love every second of it.

"Don’t treat us as merely sexual objects."
Second fastest way for a man to lose a woman: treating her as a sexual object. Fastest way: Not treating her as a sexual object. The golden rule: DO NOT LISTEN TO WOMEN TELLING YOU WHAT THEY WANT- THEY DO NOT KNOW THIS THEMSELVES.
"Don’t beat us."
Fine, we won't beat her. But she must not toy with our emotions, and she MUST NOT PROVOKE US.
"Don’t deprive us of equal chances and opportunities in the career world."
Men are deprived opportuinities by Affirmative Action rewarding women with jobs not based on merit, but on gender. Women have MORE opportunity than men, including the opportunity to stay home and have someone else provide for her. Men cannot do this. Men have less choice in the career world than women.
History will remember feminism as a dishonest theivery, or an illness that infected academia in the 20th century and led to the toppling of America as the world power. People are judged by their genitals, that is precisely the problem: affirmative action and promotions are awarded to underseving women because they are women. That AA is needed by women proves only that women are not equals. Feminism is a 100 year tantrum, a mental illness. Nothing more. History will condemn it, and history will condemn us for allowing feminism to get away with its legacy of insanity/lies.

The real rules:
1. Men must always foot the bill. That's exempt from Eek-wallet-ee.
2. Men must always risk their lives for women. That's exempt from Eek-wallet-ee.
3. Men cannot want sex. Women can. That's exempt from Eek-wallet-ee.

People aren't being judged by their genitals? I beg to differ. Ever heard of "The Vagina Monologues?" Yeah, that was written by a woman, too. It defintes women entirely in terms of their genitals. In a sincere, not sarcastic way.
PS I think a more serious contradiction is the fact that women expect their men to be successful in their careers, AND women expect to be just as successful in their careers, even though women entering the workforce increases the competition for jobs, leading to fewer successful men.

The only way feminism can exist is through the presence of an inefficient, monolithic, intrusive Big Brother/Big Sister-style government that takes more and more rights in an attempt to force "equality" where quite obviously none exists - thus creating more and more social problems, inefficiency, depression, crime/violence, etc.
Feminism is like a cancer on society, it eats away at the intellect and de-evolves both mind and spirit. It turns people into zombies who are devoid of all free thought as they endlessly regurgitate the same party line.
It turns women into a special, protected class with more rights and privileges than men. Looking at the system of laws, this becomes increasingly clear. Women can falsely accuse men of rape and ruin their lives; if they are found out, they on the other hand are almost never punished in any way - certainly not anywhere near as much as the men (who go to prison, often for decades). That this breeds a deep seated hatred goes without saying.
Nothing good will come out of this in the long run. Feminism will eventually die, but not before it has done great damage to civilization.

I'm glad the lines are blurring, I'm glad people are being judged not on their genitals, but on their personalities, skills and real inclinations. I'm glad we're all growing and learning new ways of being. I like being sexually free, I like sensitive men, or strong men, or sensitive women, or strong women. People should be free, and who needs to be afraid of freedom. It's beautiful and it's fun and feminism gave it to us. So love to the feminist revolution. I'm proud to be a part of it. As for war, let's hope to put an end to it, so neither sex will ever have to die because we haven't learned a better way to solve our problems.
