Feminism is destroying everything women's lib fought so hard to achieve.

If he means wacko radical feminism, of say Andrea Dworkin's ilk, can be detrimental to some of the advancements of the women's lib movement, then there is a grain of truth in there. However, with the broad brush Q uses, he ends up just being wrong.
If by feminism you mean those who believe women should be superior, yes. However, your choice of wording suggests that you mean feminism itself. That would be wrong, however.
*I personally would like to know the difference between feminism and women's lib. I thought they were different words for the same thing...
Skyfire, I have to respectfully disagree. What you're describing is a straw man almost wholly created by conservative anti-feminists. Andrea Dworkin was very disturbing to listen to sometimes, no question, but she was not trying to forge some sort of matriarchy. She was many things but a fool wasn't one of them.
*Why should either get any more credibility?
Feminism would have done itself a favour if it had chosen another name.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
