(20,277 posts)If they are the new voice of feminism, they can have it. Right wing blathering and holding up Dworkin and that scary 'scientist' Warren noted above are not at all my idea of feminism.
They are mostly concerned in gadding about DU, alerting on 'slurs' (some real, a bunch imagined) and that seems to be the extent of what they do. I rarely see any of them in a thread about reproductive rights or any other issues.
I refuse to bow to their ideas, nor will I conform. They complain about being vilified, but I must say that I believe they have brought it on themselves. They have driven a wedge beween themselves and other women here, who no longer wish to be bunged over the head with their crap. Unless you are 100% on board with everything, you are not a feminist. Fuck that. It's a few people on a discussion board. In the end, who the hell are they to tell me what to think or believe. The very thing women are fighting against - being told what to do, what to wear or not wear - is kind of what they do.
Neither you nor I have anything to repent, be ashamed of, and not a single reason to conform.
