This is gonna piss some people off. This is exactly how much I care. If you can't handle me, then stop reading. Stop tuning in. Stop following. I'm not your fearless fucking leader. I'm just ME. Enjoy. Or don't.
When I was younger, I had no idea what the women's liberation movement was, nor why it existed.
Now I'm in my 50's, I have had a chance to read a bit more, and I am truly ashamed that it has taken so long for me to "get it".
Yes it's true that I am a submissive male, but this has nothing to do with kinky proclivities. It has everything to do with simply aspiring to be a decent human being.
Arranged marriages should piss people off. The presumption that a raped woman deserved to be raped should piss people off. Societies that won't even allow their women to drive a car should piss people off.
But no, I don't understand how this can piss anyone off.
This last year in school my elder son chose to write an essay taking the position that women should be allowed to serve in front line combat. I have to say, I felt like it was a promising sign. He had a sleep over and one of his buddies was being critical of his action flick choice, Salt. He was saying, how good could it be, it's about a chick! My son said, "yah, a chick who could kick your ass! Don't be such a sexist." The boy makes his mama proud.
DD, that's WONDERFUL! Go young man indeed! I agree that women should be allowed to serve in front-line combat. the mother of a former student of mine was stationed in Iraq during the first go-round in the Gulf, and there are all these pictures of her on a tank, but she wasn't allowed to drive it. But she looked awesome on that tank! She's one helluva good person too. Thanks for the feedback!

Nope, not pissed, not even a little.
