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.

Sexism? How about this: “A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” Feminists have been repeating that insult for decades with nary a peep of complaint from the MSM.
Well, someone has to be proper, and not bring up things that make others upset! :>)
Damned straight!!
They are doing a good job of it.
Trump is being portrayed as Hitler part II. The only problem is that there are a number of people who are starting to embrace that and run with it.
When you keep putting your adversaries in a box, the actual risk of BEING that thing is lowered.
She is the new normal.
That is a very dangerous thing. When the majority are led by emotion, they can be led anywhere.
FEMINISM, Ms Gyno?? You are about as feminist as Hillary Clinton: you both got all your current power by sitting on someone’s penis. At least the one Hillary sat on wasn’t married at the time, meaning she wasn’t DESTROYING THE LIFE OF ANOTHER WOMAN.
Pushing the envelope, eh?
Don't deny anything. Don't answer. Don't refute.
The power of the charge will wither.
But most of us still fret that CBS and the WP won't love us if we don't protest our innocence.
It is the same with to ALL the "Ism" charges of the Left.
Great video! Janet Bloomfield is great!
Feminists should be forced to watch this video!
Feminists should be forced to watch this video!

Feminism is not about equal opportunity. It is about Marxism coming in through the back door. Women are sacrificial lambs on that way there.
I am woman hear me agree with you. Problems?
Men do not like rational women as much as bimbos. Bimbo is rewarded.
Men are also way too emotional themselves.
Since the Protestant Revolution, Luther’s teaching that women should be educated for church children and kitchen resulted in a deficient education for most women perhaps denying them rationality.
Solution?
Megyn is polishing her bona fides as the replacement for the geriatrics aver at 60 minutes. Her “long form” interviews are tailor-made for that format.
Trump should beat off on that magazine and hand it to her.
If their trying to trap him he should not show up. They are using him for ratings.
As a woman, and as much as I love Trump, I refuse to give her “special” ratings.
“Better to dump Fox. I have.”
That’s good advice, freedomfiter2, I assure you.
And you won’t miss it either.
Judging from Kelly’s infidelity with Brit Hume, twice her age, she may have used sex to get her where she is. It should be noted that Hume’s wife, Kim, is currently Fox News vice president. Perhaps the rumors of the affair were debunked, but Kelly is certainly using her femininity for its maximum advantage. That is a new twist on feminism. It is putting her in the category of an opportunist who is exploiting the current feminist fad that is driving the base of the Democrat Party.
imo, she's looking more like a blond version of rachel madow
I don’t have a tv. At risk of sounding like a stereotypical conservative, I get all my news from the internet. I do occasionally check up on the Communists on NPR.
You’re not missing anything, believe me!
Hey, that's great, you say. I guess Hillary is accepting that Trump is not anti-woman after all. He wants equal pay for equal work. Cool.
But not so fast, no this was intended as an anti Trump tweet. Whaat? That means that the implication is that Trump is anti woman because he doesn't support equal pay for women who don't do as good a job as others (i.e. a man) in the same job. There you go, it's not about equality, it's about preferential treatment.
