The unfortunate truth about humans is that nobody looks down unless it serves to further raise their own status, even if only in a subconscious, primal sort of way (consider how working with the poor is likely to increase respect towards you, and how you may unknowingly seek this praise). It's hardly something unique to feminists. But that wasn't really pertinent to my point in any case -- I was just trying to save you from categorically stating that an entire movement consisting of many millions of people was somehow arguing for a total bias reversal. Or at least they're not lobbying for it visibly. Maybe they really believe that, but you'd have a hard time getting them to admit to it. That said, I haven't seen any evidence that this is the case.
