I over reacted. Won't blame the caffeine, this one's on me.
Feminism Gone Bad and Feminism are not the same thing. Maybe my lack of clarity is to blame in the first place.
If one goes back to its foundation as an effort, in the Women's Suffrage movement, to try and get the 14th ammendment to apply across gender boundaries, the roots of the Feminist movement are progressive and every bit as valid as the Civil Rights movement.
Of course, some of us cast a faintly jaundiced eye on not too distant tie in between the original Suffrage Movement and the Temperance movement, which brought us Prohibition, and know that "Feminism Gone Bad" is nothing new, eh?
Which brings me to the War on Drugs. Don't we ever learn?
