text: Young women don't self-identify as feminists because they look at the kinds of radical zealots who fly that banner at university and they don't feel any kinship. Feminism has tethered itself to so many ideological causes that it only appeals to a narrow constituency. It doesn't even try to appeal to practicing Catholics. Or women who work in the energy industry. Or women who support free market capitalism. Or who don't support the tactics of identity politics. Or who don't feel aggrieved and resentful. Who don't believe the world is run by the patriarchy.
  
  But then, these kind of dogmatic activists movements always tear themselves to pieces. Everyone is always vying to be the most injured, the most righteous.
