Any movement needs allies (like your son). What stuck in my craw about the article was the word "rely." I don't think the message of the article, by and large, wasn't without merit.

It did pique my interest in Iceland. I did a google search and found this:
ICELAND SEX INDUSTRY

It's interesting to me that the success of feminism in Iceland is not attributed to men yielding their power, but to the constant efforts of feminism.
