I think it only concentrated on half of the population (women) and largely ignored the other half (men). I think it assumed that women were being oppressed by men and failed to see that men and women were both being oppressed. I think it saw the faults of men and remained blind to faults of women. I think it regarded gentleness and sensitivity as basically female or feminine qualities and therefore indirectly forced men to choose between being insensitive or becoming more 'feminine'. I think the feminist movement could have had a broader vision.
