'Perhaps these younger women will feel differently in ten years or so, when they find themselves juggling family, housework, and a job; perhaps they will find that they need to re-invent feminism to suit their own experience. But in a way, I hope they will not need to.'

Feminism: A very short introduction
By Margaret Walters
We have to bare in mind that the word feminism has been distorted over the last decade, and it is these negative connotations of such great movement that have let future generations (us) reject it.
Feminism is not for man haters, feminism it's not about lonely women, it is, or at least should be, about equality of rights, full stop.
If you like to have permission to leave the country without your father's or husband consent, if you like to have a say in politics and have a vote, if you like to have a say about your children's education and have the right to see them if you divorced your parents... If you have, any of the above, you should be grateful to those women that fought hard, back in the day for a fair and sensible society...
