The word feminism here is just a stealth tool.

I must object. Feminism is at its core the idea that women have the right to direct their lives in the same way as men. Man hating, promiscuity and Steinhamist materialism are not feminist. Saying Serrin Foster's crowd are using the term in stealth is like saying that Rich Lowry is a stealth conservative.

There's a great piece over at National Review about the Sufferagettes and their unswerving pro-life views.

Feminists for Life refers to just those early suffragists throughout their material and state that they are carrying on that tradition. I share with you absolute disdain and aborrance for modern feminism with this one exception.

Thanks for the reference to Mr. Lowry's excellenet article. Here is something from it:

The modern-day successors to Anthony and Stanton are Feminists for Life, an organization determined to reclaim the legacy of America's earliest women's-rights activists, but "Debunking the myth that 19th century women's rights supported abortion is a constant challenge, especially for historians faced with prejudice and political correctness."

These pro-life women celebrate the early feminists' delight in motherhood.

Did I misunderstand you?

I've reread your post and now I think you've suggested that the word feminism is a good one that has been hijacked and besmirched by Steinhem, Friedan and the rest. Well! Sorry, I misunderstood and jumped to the defense. (I'm just used to being pounced upon on this forum for typing the forbidden "F" word.)
