The phrase: “you cannot talk down to me because I’m a woman“, traditional -arguably appropriate- ERA feminism, demanded equality in opportunity. However, that argument has now been dropped.
Modern feminism is leveraged: “you cannot criticize me, because I’m a woman“.
Sheryl Sandberg, Megyn KellyThe traditional demands of equality are following a predictable pattern and now invoking leveraged benefit.
Ultimately, this is the modern version of feminism, and one currently being advanced by personalities like Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Social justice memes demanding a higher position of consideration based on (fill_in_the_blank), where this specific blank is filled with gender.
The objective determinations of skill and competency are now being clouded by lowered expectations forced by the benefactors who gain by lowering the expectation. It is a dangerous and slippery slope to bar critical evaluation based on lowered expectations due to gender. Such well-intentioned pathways historically lead to soft-bigotry caused by lessened expectations.

Here is the video entitled: " My female privilege."

Good luck trying to put Trump in a Sexism box. A box that these same people refuse to use for Bill Clinton. It is ONLY about attacking conservatives.
So Megynnnnnn goes from a GQ Trollop tease in a nighty posing her intellect to a full blown dyke to legitimize her disgust with Trump’s sexism?
Lady, please.
“I am woman hear me roar! (Just don’t roar back at me or I’ll stwat cwying)
The whole establishment talks down “We The People”
The GOPe can’t fight it’s way out of a paper bag.
Try to put Trump in a box. He’ll burn the freakin’ box down.
“Feminism has turned totally psycho and irrational.”
Nor can I paraphrase Rush and say that modern Feminism (as opposed to the original version of 40+ years ago) is inhabited strictly by ugly women who can’t get attention any other way.
Of course, I can’t say that Megyn Kelley is an insufferable, nasty beotch who thinks that her career is more important than the future of this country.
Finally, I simply cannot, under any circumstances, say that this country in particular, and Western Civilization in general, have been on a downward slide since women got the vote, because feelings and emotions have been driving policy instead of cool, rational thought. Yes, many women, particularly on FR, are very logical...but most aren’t. Nope, can’t say that.
No, I simply won’t say any of those things, it wouldn’t be polite or politically correct.
[I’ll post this youtube video which does a great job of what I would say about the state of feminism these days.]
This is how it is. Good video. Female privilege without God’s design runs amuck.
Slut Kelly seems to be a rabid feminazi. It’s past time for Fox to dump her.
How can there be “sexism” when it’s not sex, but gender, and gender is a continuum of many different colors of the rainbow?
That’s what I mean. Megyn style feminism has gone psycho. She is totally irrational.
Is it my imagination or is M. Kelly looking more man-like every day. I swear to God she tucks.
They claim they can do anything a man can do.
Except when it comes to changing a flat tire.
Trump for President.
Thank you for not sharing.
FYI
Why should I defer to you or anyone else because you claim some sort of "feminine privilege"? Obama says anyone can claim that right now, based on nothing more than a cheap wig and some makeup.
We all have our "woman card" now, what makes yours better?
Is it my imagination or is M. Kelly looking more man-like every day. I swear to God she tucks.

I agree. Kelly is a man in a woman’s body.
How about a sweet little 10 to 11 million $ advance from Clintoon’s publisher to MeAgain for the Megyn story?
The 45-year-old Fox News anchor will write a book under HarperCollins Publishers, in a deal worth $10 million, Deadline exclusively reported.
Reports about the value of the deal have varied widely, and Deadline reports that Kelly reps denied the massive number – which is a high price for any first-time author, according to CNN Money. A rep for the publisher told PEOPLE, “We do not comment on authors’ advances.”
