Madame, let's get the terminology straight. The official definition of feminism, according to Webster dictionary, is:

1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes
2 : organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests

Nowhere does that imply a necessity for verbal abuse of males. As to the feminine porn (for that's what those novels are): it is of no more concern than than the masculine sort.

I do have a more general question: why do discussions of equality of sexes tend to degenerate into fantastic descriptions between heterosexual couples? As I understand it, feminism has more to do primarily with striving for equality in the public sphere.
