I would advise anybody who thinks Feminism is a crock to view the excellent Australian televison series which was aired here recently, "Paper Giants".  It is set in 1972, and is the story of Ita Buttrose and her partnership with Kerry Packer.  Between them they founded "Cleo" magazine.  

As I watched it, I had an incredible creepy feeling of nostalgia and deja vu.  This was because the series shows accurately how biased, prejudiced and hugely judgemental the culture was at the time, not just against women's rights, but against ethnicities and minorities of all sorts.  

From the long view I have of the time, women's rights have gotten better, thanks to the rise of feminism, but we STILL have a way to go.  At least now the horizon is in sight for us, but for a long time women didn't even know if they were going in the right direction.  


The "horizon" will not be attained by MdSheppeard  or any college girl who happens to buy her tripe. She even says as much in this thread. As much as you all "have a way to go", there is plenty around to make parts of feminism the laughing stock of activism. As to who most successfully illustrates these 'feministic weakpoints', I really don't know. I simply know what they are and that they are currently present, just like with pacifism's weak points, internationalism's weaknesses, or Keynes's weakpoints. Or Laissez-Faire's weakpoints, which is more than enough for me. That Md thinks feminism is infallible or at least honest all of the time, is funny to me. Because it isn't.

I take exception to the fact that she believes I don't want equality for women. Total BS!
