Men want lobotomised women

That's the conclusion of one woman having participated in speed dating as a lawyer and as a florist.
"Everything my mother has ever told me about men is true. They didn't care that the florist couldn't recognise a chair. They liked it. The feminist revolution didn't pierce their hearts; it only made it into human resources. If you want to be loved, just scoop out your brain and act like a child. After 40 years of feminism we shouldn't really burn our bras. We should burn our men. Love may be dissembled but statistics never lie. Reader, let me tell you: men want me - and you - to be lobotomised."
I think that this plays into my concern about feminism: it effectively turned women into extra men for the workforce. It didn't challenge chauvinist values, merely gave women the right to hold them too. So no profound challenge about sexuality, as shown eg by pornography, but merely an acceptance that masculine promiscuity was to be extended to women.
