"FEMINISTS she has been warring with for decades hate Darwinism."
Read that Gallup poll at the begining of the thread.
You can sign up for a free 30 day trial that will give you access. LIBERALS = DARWINISTS.

You are dead wrong. I think we can agree that most feminists are liberals. If you did some research you'd find that they despise Darwinism. What you apparently don't realize is that Darwinism is about more than the questions laid out in his classic book On the Origins of the Species. He also wrote a book called the Descent of Man in which he laid out his theory of sexual selection. Feminists despise the theory of sexual selection, because it posits an evolutionary basis for sex differences in personality and skills. As a consequence, they are no fan of Darwin and consider him part of the white male oppressor class.

I read the Gallup poll but it does not support your claim. That 56% of liberals accept evolutionary theory does not mean that the feminist subgroup supports it. But even if it did, your argument is would be flawed. In science, the fact that liberals or conservatives or moderates or anarchists or whomever accept an idea is not evidence for or against it.
