Extreme feminist stance is that women should not enter into any kind of intimate relationships with men , including marriage. As her guardian spirit, Ariel, warns Belinda in The Rape of the Lock: Beware of all , bu most beware of Man! , some feminists counsel women to shun men altogether.

This mischief had not then fallen, More that shall befall, innumerable Disturbances on earth through female snares Paradise Lost: Book X: Lines 889-898 Moral: Extremist dogmatism in any sphere is disastrous for mankind.
