"Third wave feminists" essentially took the Mysogeny Textbook and inverted it, replacing "man" by "woman" and vice versa. The last thing they want is a world where people feel at ease with each other, consider each other as fellow human beings. The wall separating the genders is for them even more significant than for the moribund male sexists. And any movement across the wall, any act of friendship or complicity or easy-going contact, is for them high treason.

In Latin world (where, historically and today, women thrived more) it is usual for friends meeting to embrace (yes, man-on-man as well). But the role model for Third-Wave feminists is Victorian rigidity and prudishness. They are the worst enemies of female progress this side of religious fundamentalism.
