In reply to the discussion: Not With Her, Still a Feminist [View all]zixiofix
(40 posts)Someone who is feminist to their core would understand what it took to get women the right to vote and would understand how absolutely insane it is that there has never been a female president in this country and how that affects women and their daughters. A true feminist would never pretend that getting female representation in the highest office in this land is a "nice to have." They would realize it is an absolute necessity. I get tired of conservative women who do their best to take women's rights away and then pretend they can claim the "feminist" mantle. I get just as tired when I see progressive women saying they are feminists and yet work to keep the status quo--like keeping more white privileged men in the white house -- and try to prevent the first viable woman in our nation's history from reaching the presidency.
