History of Feminism

(794 posts)that feminism is a movement that requires either the experiences of a woman or the reproductive organs of a woman in it's leaders- as a litmus test for a truly complete intellectual and moral understanding of the feminist movement. This notion is so obviously sexist and the OP's intention has nothing to do with sparking articulated, intellectual debate on the subject; rather it appears that the OP was intended to elicit postings from those that would point the sexism of this particularly virulent form of neofeminism out, so that the resident neofeminist squad can attack those true feminists, like myself, that understand reversing discrimination doesn't have anything to do with the fringe revenge elements that support this sort of sexism.
Any civil justice and fairness movement that doesn't choose it's leaders according to thier capabilities- instead choosing them based on thier reproductive organs- is not about justice and fairness, (even when you really wish it was) -it is more likely that these neo-femisists are interested in a form of female vengeance that disguises itself as feminist crtique. I'm aware of the unpopularity of this charge amongst some of the more radical followers of the feminist school of thought, but your manufactured outrage doesnt change the fact that denying someone a job or position within a civil rights movement, based soley upon thier sex is just sexism- it is particularly abhorent because it is being advocated by people that claim to be feminists, fighting AGAINST sexism.
Let the bullies pile-on...
