Is it possible that some feminists "make light" of men who didn't get
jobs, even though they were the most qualified for them, because the
employer was so afraid of the charges of sexism that feminists so
recklessly throw around?  

Feminists should be glad that non-feminists point out when they have
gone too far, since it serves to make what is good about feminism more
credible and effective, by being more balanced.  Feminism needs heroes
like me.  Right?
