Do you think the word “feminism” can be rehabilitated?
Although I applaud women like these for making a valiant effort...I'm afraid, like the term [i]“conservatism”[/i] -- the word [i]“feminism”[/i] has been abused, misused and propagandized beyond reclamation.

Actually I do think I know what I am talking about Liz. I am more than perfectly fine with first wave feminism when the goal was to become equal to men, and treated that way by law. But second wave was all about becoming [b]just like men[/b] -- warmongers, corporate powerbrokers, wage-slaves and horndogs. No wonder the fashion statement of second wave was shoulder pads. Of course, in becoming [b]just like men[/b], abortion became central to feminism --whereas all the first wave feminists were what we would call today pro-life.
@Lizabee: But, you were calling me out on abortion, so why don't we stick with that form of birth control for the time being --and it is the central sacrament of modern feminism, and what all the fuss is about.
@Lizabee: How am I confused? It would be helpful to a "dialogue" which is what everyone likes to say they want these days --if you would be a little more specific.
