LIFT AND SEPARATE (Why Is Feminism Still So Divisive?) (New Yorker can only be linked to)
Because good sense and idiocy are like oil and water: they just don’t mix.
I’ll take a stab...because most feminists (those I’ve met) are fat, ugly, and have unsightly facial hair.
Feminism is divisive because it demonizes women who value family and traditional roles, because it is an agent of marxism, and because it seeks to eliminate european-american males.
Might as well ask “why is vicious Communist Dialectic still so divisive?”.
It’s divisive because it’s hate on stilts.
It is the same with relationships because of these differences: I respect my husband. He cherishes me. As a woman, I can relate to the suffragette movement. The feminist never ever represent me. They anger me mostly. And without them, I still could have become anything I wanted in my life. They call that good parenting! LOL
The divisiveness started when the new leaders of the feminist movement decided to abandon the principles of Susan B. Anthony and every single one of her peers.
They traded in their preborn children for the keys to the executive washroom. They refuse to admit that abortion has done nothing to advance the rights of women, and in fact has perpetuated many obstacles to equality.
Traditional feminism recognizes that you cannot earn rights by oppressing others.

Because the ‘feminist’ movement, ever since it’s spawning from the fetid swamps of other 60’s radical movements, is and always has been about fascist leftism and nothing to do with the promotion of women and true liberty for women and other Americans.
“Feminism” today means only one thing...abortion. It is no longer about equal pay or an equal voice. It is about abortion and nothing more. If you are pro-abortion, you are a feminist. If you are pro-life, you are not.
Every other definition of feminism is from another era and does not apply to the term today. That’s why it is so divisive...and always will be, for there will always be women (and men) who are repelled at the thought of hacking apart a living, pre-born child in the name of convenience.
and those who want to "buy the lie" don't want anyone around (paging Sarah Palin) that reminds them that this is what they really want to do, but CAN'T because they'd be socially punished for it.
The [traditional] family is the left’s primary target for destruction. Their ideological “father” desires it.
See tagline. See John 8:44.
“If it weren’t for taxes, the vast majority of married mothers, would not have to work.”
People do seem to overlook that. Even when they complain that husband and wife both have to work to make ends meet, they seldom seem to make the connection between that and “equal employment opportunities for women.”
Inflation plays a big role in that, too.
I don’t think I have a problem with women staying home if they didn’t stay home and watch Oprah.
Well, for one thing, too many feminists read The New Yorker.
Golly, you can hardly tell this was penned by a flaming liberal.
