Believe me...........feminists went out of their way to get their message across. Millions of American girls/women gained confidence and acted on that message. Feminists encouraged women to come out of their societal shell, and fight for equal rights. Once they got that message across they outlined the rules and told them what they should believe.

I can't think of a single thing "feminism" has done for women that they simply could not have done alone.... The Gender clause that was snuck into the bill requiring Blacks to be hired really opened up Corporate jobs for women.

I can't think of a single thing "feminism" has done for women that they simply could not have done alone.... Like many liberal causes, it started out as a necessary antidote to a real wrong (the way women were pigeonholed and limited and discriminated against in the 1950s), then could not adjust to having won. Their grievance went away, or 90% of it, but they had to pour ever increasing fury into smaller and smaller grievances. Liberalism is an emotional rut.
