Agreed, there is a radical element that we allowed to take the mic. We should take it back. That's why I say I'm a feminist and they are NOT feminists.

If the people who care about the environment allow ELF to take over the name Enviornomentalists, they will be doing the same thing.

I, for one, refuse to retreat to a different hill and change my banner. CWA is a good organization and what I consider more feminists than NOW, but I criticise them for one thing ... they should not be cowards and constantly be in retreat. Stand up for what you believe and call yourself a feminist. Don't be run around by the radical fringe of clueless whackos who deign to take over the name.

PS. Most of these people on either fringe (the radical feminists and the radical anti-feminists) have never traveled and don't have a clue. I have. I've traveled in over 50 countries and lived in some of the most wretched places on earth. And I can say without a doubt none of these women, the radical feminists or the ingratful anti-feminists have a clue about what is the REAL world. None of them would survive 3 seconds outside the USA. They need to get out more and see the real world. Feminism has a lot of REAL work to do on behalf of not just women, but everyone.

CWA should be up there on the front lines leading the charge for REAL feminism. Otherwise, they are snively cowards no different than the rad-fems they rightly villyfy.

You seem to be advocating that the schism in Feminism results from the ism.

"We should take it back. That's why I say I'm a feminist and they are NOT feminists."

The only way to take the mic back is to find a different name. Feminism has sold itself and voluntarily entrenched itself as The Enemy.
