Obviously they don't have the power; if they did, they would have taken it back already.
Your claim they don't want to take it back is BS. It's evident in this thread and in every other discussion about 'feminism' that most men do not like the idea of women having more power than they do. Your claim is the type of lame thing people say when they don't really have the power or ability to do what they actually want to do. Like some fool telling a bigger guy "I could beat the shit out of you if I wanted to, but I just don't want to." Men no longer have the power to take back anything. It is not about physically over powering women anymore; it is about having the intellectual capabilities and the strength of character to do so. As a social unit: men just don't have that power.
The only way women have obtained "equality" is through the court system AFTER men allowed them the power to access it.
If men wanted to (and they do not in mass) they could force you and other women to do whatever they wished you to.
Now again, I'm not advocating it, nor am I desirous of it, I'm just saying that it would happen if a huge majority of men demanded it, and were willing to fight for it physically.
You and other women would lose. Period.
Again, it would never happen. We are far passed those times.
