Exactly. The pendulum's now swung past center and is continuing in the wrong direction. The gay pride thing thankfully doesn't cause many real problems (though it is a pain in the ass), but feminism... blurgh. Feminism has served its purpose and is no longer needed in the first world, but feminists just keep going as if 'Murica is Bumfuck, Iraqistan.
On the subject of Male and Female emotionality:
Women typically have more intense and frequent emotional responses than men do. It is not entirely clear if this is because Women feel emotions more intensely, or are just more likely to express them.

There certainly is a tendency to create a 'them and us' exclusive mentality, rather than an inclusive one, though.
At my sixth form college there were pro-gay posters everywhere, encouraging women to accept the existence of their 'inner lesbian'. My straight friends complained that they were fed up of being spammed with posters which were passively aggressive or asserted that they were bigoted, or were secretly repressing internal homosexual desires.
When I joined the student LGBT society I discovered that they were in the process of trying to get a female student formally disciplined because she had said that she thought lesbians kissing was gross, on twitter...as if that sort of thing actually matters or in any way inhibits the well being of real lesbians; why would they even care about that?
Eventually, when 'it's okay to be straight' posters started appearing in college posted by anonymous students, I had to explain to the LGBT society that this was a direct result of their 'them and us' mentality, which spoke-down to straight people as if they were merely either 'homophobes waiting to happen' or gay people repressing their true-selves, and that this was why there was a back-lash among the students that heterosexual isn't a pejorative term.
