Rest assured your fears ARE misguided. IMHO

What chance, realistically, with the (somewhat justified) opposition
being generated by this groups existence, have they got of having
any discernible influence on American society, that wont be
counter-acted by further opposition.

# One of the reasons for the failure of feminism to dislodge deeply 
held perceptions of male and female behaviour was its insistence 
that women were victims, and men powerful patriarchs, which made 
a travesty of ordinary people�s experience of the mutual 
interdependence of men and women.
