Huh? This is just more quoting from radicals. There are all kinds of radical people out there. Every movement has them.

Not everyone who cares about the environment joins ELF and burns down costruction projects and torches SUV's.

It is possible to be FOR something and not be a radical. The author of the article you poste admits she had the freedom to make her own choices in life and organize her professional and personal life as she sees fit. She's not advocating for anything different for others ... that means she is a feminist. Would she move to Iran or Afghanistan and give up her individual autonomy because she's a woman?

The author needs to travel a bit. I think she's been in her ivory tower too long. To me, she seems complacent about her life and opportunities. And I notice that she was telling other young women to go out and "be all you can be" as well. Does that apply to all women in the world, or just to ivory tower intellectual women like herself and her audience? She could do a lot more good for others saying what feminism is REALLY about.
