Re: Why is this the case
I think you have soften up over time…got good roommates? 
I never was an anti-feminist. I always was, and always will be an advocate of women rights and education (specially women education) but those can be achieved without asking men to lick someone’s toes…really!
PS: and you, 6 month back, would have found something anti-feminist in my this post also…like oh so she cant even marry with her own will? 
PS2: and only my God knows how much I prayed for a baby girl when my wife was expecting first baby…
