Neo? That means "new". "Neo-Nazi" means "new Nazi" as in a new generation. You 
apparently thought is meant something else, since "new rapist" doesn't make a 
whole lot of sense. One can only be a new rapist once. After that one becomes 
either a "been there, done that" rapist, and/or an inmate. Or perhaps a 
politician.

But your intended point is well-taken. I, for example, have been a champion of 
equal rights for women since the late 60's, but that doesn't stop me from 
appreciating the salient physical differences between myself and women, and 
acting on that appreciation. 

My biggest gripe with the women's movement of the 60's-70's is the mistaken 
impression most activists had that one couldn't both be sexual and in favor of 
equal rights. Humbug! Just because someone is fun to boink doesn't mean he/she 
shouldn't be hired for and paid equally for the same jobs as a person of the 
opposite sex. Or be able to join the same sports teams, or use the same 
facilities. 

And just because I believe that women and men should be equal under the law 
doesn't mean I don't love them!
