When the feminist movement started, my own reaction was, "Finally, the cavalry has arrived! Reinforcements! I'm not crazy, or alone anymore!" I read everything published by feminists, until it turned from a trickle to a Niagara Falls, and I couldn't keep up anymore.

But then..feminists started attacking each other, and treating men as some kind of intrinsically evil enemy that could do no right, and I turned off. That was NOT what I believed in.

And the Third Wave has definitely gone off the rails as far as I'm concerned. Like most young people today they are either totally ignorant of history, and think the world started the day they came of age, or they have a very twisted view of it. They largely are ignorant of those early feminists.

Our society was one of the better ones for women in the first place, which is why the feminist movement was even possible. It has improved immensely. Let's not ruin it by going overboard now with identity politics.
