We Were Feminists Once From Riot Grrrl to CoverGirl, the Buying and Selling of a Political Movement - Andi Zeisler
Shared by:daenigma100
Today, feminism is no longer a dirty word, and women purporting to stand up for women’s equality now include high-powered names like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Emma Watson. Hip underwear lines sell granny pants with “feminist” emblazoned on the back. In every bookstore there are scores of seductive feminist how-to business guides telling women how to achieve “it all”. Meanwhile, access to abortion clinics is growing ever more difficult for many women across the country, and Arizona has passed a law requiring doctors to tell women undergoing abortive procedures about a junk science method of “reversing” abortion espoused by the Tea Party right. Feminism has gone mainstream, but true equality is never an easy sell.
Here, Andi Zeisler exposes how feminism has transformed into something barely warranting the name, ignoring the many for the one, shamelessly colluding with market forces and popular culture. Witty and fearless, We Were Feminists Once is the story of how we could have let this happen and where we go from here.

The ‘feminism’ of today is completely different (and two generations removed from) the so-called feminism of the 60’s; although feminism does have one thing in common and that is to teach women that all men (fill in the blank) instead of embracing the differences in the 2 sexes and working together to make families and cherish the family.

@spaniel1 Family? Family is not be-all and end-all. A free, healthy, happy individual, a fully developed person is the prerogative of every prosperous contemporary society. By “embracing >>the<>the<< 2 sexes” you’re just assigning the same unchangeable characteristics to different people, who have to conform to “the differences” of the assigned sex. And by making family a higher priority than the fulfillment of the persons constituting it you’re just creating a shell that has no real substance but creates a glossy front of traditional values. Modern society doesn’t work through clans and tribes, modern economy doesn’t work like that.

I don’t get this blurb: feminism is a dirty word nowadays. A lot of people conflate feminism with its radical manifestations, and subsequently color all feminism black. Moreover, to my way of thinking, as soon as we understood that social inequality is a two way affair, and that not only women but men suffer from it also, the name feminism should’ve been changed to better reflect the purpose and ideology of this movement.

So many weak men can only cope with submissive women so attempt to discredit the fight for equality. Anyone who think men and women should have equal opportunities in life to make their own choices is a feminist. Anyone who thinks the extreme unreasonable side of feminism represents the norm has got it wrong.

Mria - a stable family is the bedrock of a stable civilization and country. There are only two sexes. Anything else is a form of mental illness. There are chromosonal mixups such as being born with genitalia of both sexes (ie XXY or XYY)but your sex is what your chromosomes dictate.
As for ’self fulfillment’ and all that self indulgent twaddle, it is possible to be fulfilled as a wife and mother and grandmother. Millions of women have found that to be so. (including yours truly).
As for equality? God made us equal in His eyes, equal as to what we’re to inherit one day in His Kingdom, and we are equal under the law. Oh and one last thing - there is nothing wrong with traditional values. And AFAIC any male who identifies with being a feminist is a weak individual indeed.

@spaniel1 I’m sorry, you should’ve indicated in your comment that you’re putting down your belief system, and not a rationally achieved point of view. I respect your right to self-soothe with God.
