You seem to be advocating that the schism in Feminism results from the ism.
I suppose. It has resulted from real feminists being COWARDS by allowing a small but loud group of radical self-serving fringe take over the name Feminism and attach their self aborbed agenda to the name .... Feminism rightfully belongs to ALL women in the world (that's 3.1 billion and counting) not a tiny fraction (probably less than 5,000) of fringe whackos.
I for one refuse to retreat. And I really don't care what Cindy Crawford thinks about it. For my supermodel money, I'll go with Cathy Ireland instead.
I rather like the uncowardly attitude of Feminists for Life
http://www.feministsforlife.org/ who oppose abortion but blantantly refuse to back down from the name FEMINIST.
(Incidently, their name bugs the hell out of NOW-brand feminists, which is worth keeping the name alone).
Though I have some disagreements with the FFL website (some residual whiny-ness) .... I still admire their kind of in-your-face, take-charge, lead, follow or get the hell out of the way ... kind of feminism. :)
